ONE DIRECTION:GONE FOREVER? By Safana Firoz North, south, east and west are the main directions we know. But in the 21st century we have another direction …….. One Direction commonly known as 1D. They have become one of the main direction of our lives. For those of you who don’t know One Direction, in 2010 the world was lacking a boy band for teenage girls to day dream on and the charts were filled with female artists like Rihanna, Katy Perry etc.Simon cowell naturally spotted the perfect solution to this need. The 5 boys Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik auditioned for 2010’s XFactor separately but were brought together as a group before our very eyes and that’s how One Direction was born. They had a rough time getting along at the beginning like any us would feel if we were forced to get along with 5 random people but by the end of the season the group gained popularity in the UK.Sadly they came to an end. In 2014 Zayn felt a bit twitchy about being in one direction and eventually left. When asked in an interview, why he left he answered saying aliens told him to leave, as in aliens in his dreams. Well we all know that this is not true, he later revealed he is now ready to show the world who he “really is” with his new solo music career. Mean while the rest of the band members decided to continue as a band of 4 and as we all know it didn’t last very long, eventually the band called it quits and each of them are perusing their own dreams individually. Their fans still have hope that they will reunite like the back street boys, and maybe they will.
