This is the part where he grows fat, releases a solo single, embarks on a downward spiral of booze, drugs, flings and depression before having a life coach helping him get back on track and into shape releasing a 'comeback' which draws in the crowds and he's hailed as a pop megastar and national hero.
All before 2016 I hasten to add.

I'll give the band 2, maybe 3 more years before they all call it quits. Sounds like this guy will (at least try to) become the next Justin Timberlake or Beyonce

Get this - I was reading this tweet from 10am to 1PM yesterday, 107 people committed suicide because of Zayn's departure. Apparently there's evidence to reinforce that.

Not trying to disrespect, but holy shit - that's just incomprehensible. Personally don't give a rats ass about 1D, but that is fucked up.

When that gets more attention than the crash in the Alps, that's even worse. The whole story has gone mostly un-noticed, which is sad. The number I mentioned earlier is the ones that were confirmed, but in attempts that number has swelled to 2000+ and counting. Welcome to the society we live in.

Please fix it. It just looks even worse if you leave it to spite someone.
