For Zayn Malik, five was too many directions

ZAYN MALIK has revealed the reasons behind his long-standing unhappiness in ne Direction. Talking on Zane Lowe’s Beats 1 radio show, the 23-year-old said: “I think I kinda always wanted to go.”

The singer spent four years performing alongside Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, and Liam Payne in the band, before quitting last spring. Malik said he did not feel at home musically since they were put together in X Factor.

“I just gave it a go because it was there at the time. I think I kinda always wanted to go. From the first year, I never really wanted to be there in the band,” he said.
