Nathan Sykes thinks One Direction are ready to split up.
The 21-year-old star believes the band – which features Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne and Zayn Malik – will part ways in the near future because he thinks the individual members will want to take a break to do things for themselves.
He admitted: "I think their last album sounded brilliant. But when you’re a percentage of a group, you’ve also just got to give yourself some time where you can be 100% for yourself. You’ve got to do the stuff that you always wanted to do and the stuff that you always wanted to do and have fun with it, rather than be 20% of a boyband."
The ‘Almost Is Never Enough’ singer recently launched his solo career after his band, The Wanted, went on hiatus, and has promised to release his debut album later this year.
And now that he has a promising musical life ahead of him on his own, he has ruled out a reunion with his former bandmates Tom Parker, Max George, Jay McGuiness and Siva Kaneswaran.
When asked if he will be performing shows with the band at any time in the foreseeable future, he told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I’m sure they’ll do some more, but I’m personally very focused on this at the moment so it won’t be for me."
