Zayn Malik: leave One Direction
As reported by NME, in the interview with Capital FM Malik said, “Being normal worked out for about two weeks and I got bored of it. I don’t think I could ever go back to being completely normal. I guess that’s something I accepted, that this is as normal as it gets for me.”
Malik has come out in multiple interviews explaining his decision to leave the band in order to pursue a solo career. He also reports himself as being estranged from his former bandmates.
In a recent interview with Beats 1 on Apple Music with Zane Lowe, Malik talked about his decision to leave 1D.
"I think I kind of always wanted to go," Malik told Lowe "From the first year really, I never really wanted to be there in the band. I just gave it a go because it was there and then when I realized the direction we were going in with the music, I instantly realized it wasn't for me because I realized I couldn't put any input in; I couldn't give my opinion on this or that because it didn't fit the grain of what we were as a band or what we represented."
His first solo single, “Pillowtalk,” came out on Friday (Jan. 29). His debut album Mind of Mine is due for release on March 25.
