Zayn Malik is officially no longer part of One Direction! Hopefully this means the group's most talented member will have an album of his own out by year's end, but in the meantime we can expect to hear him on an upcoming Naughty Boy song. Anyone know if Zayn's a free agent now or is he still chained to Columbia? This could get interesting.

The statement said he wants a private life. He has enough money for the rest of his and his family's life. I don't expect him to do any music anytime soon. Maybe in a couple years.

He's going to take something of a break, but I'd be shocked if he isn't recording solo material by the end of the year. Unless he gets back together with the band, god forbid.

I doubt he will be releasing a solo album anytime soon. He clearly has problems and needs to deal with them. He needs rest, perhaps even rehab.

I assume it'll be a while before we hear solo work from any of them, but I'm still excited about Harry's solo career the most. I'm still curious either way.

Those horrific high notes in "Best Song Ever" and a few other songs just popped into my head. He needs some serious vocal lessons (and time to collect himself) before he is ready for a solo album. That said, I'm sure when he does, a lot of fanboys/girls would snap it up, no matter what it/he sounded like, so there's that. Hopefully, Liam can see solo success.

Who cares about the music? He should go into modelling.

As for Zayn quiting music altogether, please! Don't fall for it. He's relayed his personal musical ambitions for a while now and already has a feature lined up. Of course he'll take some time off to rest and regroup, but years? No way. Now is when he has the buzz.

This one is about solo artist Zayn. LOL. I get that you one of the guy's biggest fans but...damn. Anyway, I hope he takes care of himself, first and foremost. Fame is great and all but it seems like he needs to reset before anything happens. Jumping back into the spotlight this year is not really going to help matters.

Did his hotness stock just increase for anybody else? Now to ditch the Bulgarian peasant fiancée. In the meantime, I'll be listening to Geri Halliwell's game-changing Schizophonic. Who cares about the music? He should go into modelling. He's 5'7". That's not happening. He's closer to 5'10 and well-proportioned, Mr. Thomas Ravenel.

As if this wasn't planned to some degree at least a year ago. If not planned, at least we could see it coming because it's the trajectory of boy bands before them. One of them will have a solo album or single out within a year. If not Zayn, it'll be any of the others.

I will say I am bit hard on Zayn specifically for those high notes, but his tone is really nice on some songs on Four, especially No Control. Whenever I saw them perform live, he and Liam were definitely the most consistent sounding. I DEFINITELY prefer Liam and Zayn to Harry and the others, no question, Zayn fans go hard in the paint on this board!

There's a pretty good possibility that Zayn has solo material recorded and ready to go for such an occasion. It is surprising that he has left as soon as he has, but perhaps it has been in the works for a while. I think One Direction has run its course as a group.

This was the last moment of their Hong Kong tour the other night. You can hear Niall say "Group hug while Zayn's here." They knew. So that really makes me think he was not fired and that guy was a fake on Twitter. vine.co/v/O3JB7AOx9hA

Yes, i knew that he would be the first member to quit. He seemed uncomfortable with fame.
But his way to quit the band just totally copied Geri :lol: Geri suddenly decided to disappear during Spice Girls tour, a few days later she left the band Zayn also suddenly decided to disappear during One Direction tour (My country, Indonesia was the victim, the band performed as a foursome :lol: ), a few days later Zayn left the band
To be honest, i can see a bright solo career for him. maybe do some urban stuff like Justin Timberlake

It's not a matter of if. It's only a matter of when. It's been known awhile he's been working with Naughty Boy, a UK rap R&B duo, and they've posted plenty of pics together in the studio. Everyone assumed it was a side project. Maybe there is more to it. I deleted my posts about him being fired. That guy was proved to be a fake. Zayn did quit.

It's all the more funny that the girl he met in Thailand is repeatedly shaded as "Essex girl" in all of the UK articles which, while accurately informing us of where she's from, has a comical and negative connotation in the UK. It's basically the British equivalent of calling her a fake tanned guidette.

To have every 1D fan girl in the world hating and blaming for causing Zayn to leave and crushing all their dreams. She just better have some good security cause there are a lot of crazy nuts out there.
