One Direction

As most One Direction fans will know, back in June former band member Zayn Malik was forced to pull his act from London’s Capital Summertime Ball because of his issues with anxiety.

And while the singer has since opened up about his battle with mental health, today’s news confirms that Zayn’s personal struggles are not quite over.

According to the Mail Online, the former X Factor contestant has been forced to cancel his upcoming gig in Dubai because he does not feel “sufficiently confident” to perform on stage.

 

In a press release detailing the cancellation of the October 7 show, Zayn said: “I have been working over the last three months to overcome my extreme anxiety around major live solo performances.”

“I feel I am making progress but I have today acknowledged that I do not feel sufficiently confident to move forward with the planned show in Dubai in October.”

Gulf News has reported that the Dubai gig was the 23-year-old’s only remaining scheduled solo concert since he left One D last year.

 

Zayn is one of a number of stars – which includes Selena Gomez and Rita Ora – to publicly acknowledge how anxiety has affected their lives in recent months.

We hope he receives the help he needs to get back on track.

Look, we all know guys and girls are pretty different when it comes to wishing their mates a happy birthday online.

Us ladies pour our hearts out and make an effort to recall each and every milestone moment in our friendship.

And lads? Well, lads do not.

Case in point: Our very own Niall Horan from Mullingar.

Taking to Instagram earlier today, Niall paid tribute to his former bandmate, Liam Payne, on his 23rd birthday, and managed to be fairly creepy in the process.

 

Happy birthday @liampayne !! Miss your scent…

Sharing a photo of Liam cuddled up against his pal, Niall wrote: "Happy birthday @liampayne!! Miss your scent…"

Miss your scent? Well, if they're not the words left by a deranged stalker in a teen slasher flick, we don't know what are.

Surprisingly though, it looks like we're on our own when it comes to this particular post because thousands of Directioners are all over it.

From admitting that the snap had brought them to tears to declaring their love for the duo, it looks like it was only us grossed out by the wording… and the poo emoji.

Oh, well.

As an international superstar you’d imagine Liam Payne must be pretty hard to surprise in the present department.  But thanks to some super thoughtful One D fans, the singer is about to receive a gift with a difference.

When faced with the challenge of buying for the person who appears to have everything, a group of Liam’s resourceful followers decided to set up a fundraising campaign to mark the singer’s upcoming 23rd birthday.

Using a Just Giving page, the fans who “would like to give back” are using the popstar’s birthday to raise money for the Way Youth Zone in Wolverhampton – a community centre in Liam’s hometown.

The page reads: “Liam Payne has done so much for fans so we the fans would like to give back.”

“In honour of his 23rd birthday, we are collecting donations for  the Way Youth Zone in Wolverhampton, a purpose-built facility for the city's young people aged 8-19 (and up to 25 for those with disabilities).”

Cheryl’s boyfriend eventually heard about the fans’ plan through his mother and took to Instagram to express his gratitude.

 

Alongside a picture of an article about the fundraiser, Liam wrote: “My mum just showed me this who’s ever idea that was thank you so much what an amazing birthday present” (sic).  Awh!

Fair play to the fans for coming up with such a positive way of marking the singer’s special day.

Louis Walsh is going to anger a LOT of One Direction fans today – he believes that the band is over.

The X Factor judge said that they have had their time and in maybe a decade (yes, a decade) they will get back together.

"It's not going to happen. Nope. No, definitely not. It's over, they had their run, all over," he told The Telegraph.

"It's done, and it was an amazing career." He then added, "Maybe in 10 years."

Ouch. Get ready to face some backlash, Louis.

It has been five years since the video for 'What Makes You Beautiful' was released, and we all began a love affair with the boys from One Direction. 

It is safe to say that the stand out part of the video as that VERY intimate moment between Harry Styles and a beautiful brunette.

For a brief time, every girl in the world longed to be that pretty young lady (us included)! 

Well, that young girl has grown up quite a bit in recent years, and is now an entrepreneur and actress.

 

Thank you @robin_melton for the ultimate summer look! #balyagehighlights @luxestylingstudio

If I was a One Direction fan, I have to admit that I'd lose all hope by now that the band are going to get back together anytime soon.

Niall's Modest! management company is well under way, Harry has signed a solo contract, and Liam has also just signed a solo recording deal with Capitol Records.

But to make matters worse, Liam has just changed his Twitter bio and removed all trace of 1D… and fans are RAGING.

It now reads, "Payne enterprises," and links to his solo website:

Will they ever get back together? Unfortunately, it's not looking likely…

It would seem as though Simon Cowell is on the outs with a certain boy-bander. 

Speaking at an America's Got Talent press conference, the music mogul discussed his relationship with the One Direction boys, and openly referred to their "loyalty."

"We're in touch with them all. The great thing about all these boys – well not all of them but most of them – they are incredibly loyal and you don't always expect that" he said. 

"Niall, Harry, Louis – amazing," he continued…leaving out a familiar name. 

Simon did not mention anything about Liam Payne, leaving us all to wonder if they have had a disagreement. 

Perhaps the rift is as a result of Liam's recently signed solo record deal, with competing label Capitol Records. 

When asked about Louis however, who recently joined him as a guest judge on America's Got Talent, Simon gushed about how great he was doing. 

“Louis is great! It was so funny, and so kind of odd, because he had auditioned for me five years ago, and now he’s sitting where I’m sitting, judging other people and doing it really well."

In the hope of a One Direction reunion, we hope this beef cleared up soon.

First Zayn broke away from the group, then Harry got this teeth stuck into some acting, and now Liam has announced that he's sighed a record deal all of his own in a move which has left 1D fans feeling super unsettled this week.

With millions of fans holding out hope that the band might re-form, news that Liam has embarked on a solo journey has left countless wondering whether it's time to give up the ghost and admit defeat on the 1D front.

Taking to Twitter yesterday, Chery's new fella paid tribute to his new record label, writing: "Happy to have signed to @CapitolUK. They have an amazing history of artists, I hope I can follow in their footsteps."

While some fans rushed to offer the star their congratulations, others were a little less forthcoming in their support, with one writing: "WHAT THE HELL? WHAT WHAT ABOUT THE BAND LIAM?"

"If you can't even keep a promise, this won't do any good for you. I love you, but this is so wrong," added another die-hard Directioner.

Responding to his followers' concerns, Liam made it clear that while he appreciates the impact One Direction had on his life and that of millions others, it's time to move on.

"One direction will always be my home and family but I'm very excited to see what this chapter brings," he assured fans.

Refusing to let poor ol' Liam off the hook, a follower hit back: "I get things happened and people move on but I thought I'd be able to see you guys as band live. Really does upset me."

"I'm crying Liam, what have you done to me," added another in final twist of the knife.

Ah ladies, behave.

It looks like One Direction star Niall Horan has gone and got himself a brand new girlfriend.

According to The Sun, the Mullingar native was spotted hanging out with Belgian student Celine Helene Vandycke in London’s Hyde Park over the weekend and the pair were not particularly shy about making their public debut.

New pictures show Niall and his new BAE kissing and cuddling during Mumford and Sons’ British Summertime show on Friday.

And, according to a Sun source, Niall is “infatuated” with Celine.

The source said: “Niall  never let Celine out of his sight and looked infatuated.”

“He had his arm around her throughout the evening and kept going in to pecked her on the cheek while they watched the gig.”

“They seemed incredibly happy in each other’s company, laughing and giggling loads.”

“At one point Niall kissed her in front of everyone and obviously didn’t care that people were watching.”

Niall seems to have spent the whole weekend with law student Celine as they were also spotted partying together at London’s Drama nightclub on Sunday night.  Awh!

It was a sad day for all One Direction fans when Zayn announced he was leaving the band.

It seemed sudden and confusing, but to be fair, he's opened up about it a lot since departing from the lads.

However, one thing he has never said is who pushed him to leave and said he could make it on his own.

Did his parents have a say? His agent? Could it even have been Perrie Edwards before the break-up?

Well, not quite.

While speaking to Glamour, the megastar said it was an alien that made him do it. An ALIEN….???

His exact words were, "An alien spoke to me in a dream."

Hmmm, whatever floats your boat, Zayn.

We're not sure if Zayn was totally taking the p*ss here, but he answered the rest of Glamour's questions quite seriously… So who knows, maybe it was an alien. Or, maybe not.

At this stage Harry Styles is almost as famous for his dark curly hair as he is for his place in One Direction, so naturally when a picture of him without his luscious locks finally emerged people were a little bit upset.

The singer’s sister Gemma took to Snapchat to reveal his new ‘do in a picture that shows a short-haired Harry looking at his star-patterned shirt.

The image is captioned: “Independence Day shirt….? No…?  Did I…?”

But of course once the One D fans caught sight of Harry’s hair (or lack thereof) they lost all interest in his shirt and took to Twitter to mourn the loss of the star’s famous curls.

 

 

According to the Metro, Harry cut off his hair for his role in the movie Dunkirk two months ago.

He has donated the hair to The Little Princess Trust – a charity which makes wigs for children who have lost their own due to cancer treatment.

Since Harry's hair has gone to such an important cause we're hopeful the One Directioners will find a way to forgive him…eventually.

Our favourite Mullingar man, Niall Horan, has stepped away from the world of pop music, and has landed himself a new job in professional sport (kind of). 

Having taken an extended hiatus from One Direction in 2015, the Drag Me Down singer has taken on a new role as an Ambassador to the Ryder Cup 2016 tournament. 

The Ryder Cup, which was established in 1927, is a men's golf competition between teams from Europe and The United States. 

Darren Clarke, a professional Irish golfer, announced to his 322,000 Twitter followers that Niall was to be an ambassador for the European team this year.

Niall, 22, has spent quite a bit on time on the golf course in recent months, sparking close friendships with Rory McIlroy and other professionals, and has even set up his own golf management company called Modest! Golf. 

 

Happy birthday rors . Have a good one pal . See ya soon

The 41st Ryder Cup will tee off on September 30th and will run up to October 2nd. 

We are so proud of our Nialler, who is taking the sporting world by a storm, one golf tournament at a time.
