One Direction fans, also known as One Directioners, must be having one hell of a day: not only do they have to deal with Zayn Malik’s announcement that he’s leaving the band but they might also need preparing for another departure soon. Harry Styles is said to follow suit.

No official announcement has been made in this sense, but E! Online says he’s thinking of going solo in music and getting to work on launching a career in acting.

Acting is in the cards, and so is a solo career

A source claiming to have good knowledge of Styles’ plans reveals for the celebrity publication that he’s been thinking about leaving One Direction for some time now, so Zayn’s departure has nothing to do with it.

Harry, says the spy, loves Los Angeles and he loves the idea of getting an acting career, so he’s been telling his friends he wants to move there and give Hollywood a try. Obviously, that will mean he won’t have time to honor commitments for One Direction, so he’ll be leaving.

He will, however, still have enough time to pursue musical interests, so he might be going solo after he exits the band.

“He’s been writing with other artists like Meghan Trainor, Kodaline and Ariana Grande,” the spy says. “Harry has distanced himself from the rest of the band over the last year. He considers himself to be on a different path to the other boys. He certainly has hopes of doing solo stuff, branching out on his own, and so this might be the natural juncture in which to do that.”

One Direction future at risk

This report comes hot on the heels of the official announcement on Zayn’s departure, which is the same announcement that stressed that One Direction would not disband and that it would continue touring and recording as a 4-member act.

Obviously, One Direction wouldn’t be the first successful act to continue after one of the original members leaves, but things might become very complicated if Styles too decides to leave.

According to many, if Styles is out of the picture, One Direction will cease to exist, because he is the most famous and apparently the most loved member. Fans are already having a hard time coping with a One Direction future without Zayn, and they might find it downright impossible to do so if Styles leaves too.
