Finally, the post that I have been looking
forward (and not) to. March 25, 2015. The day that past member Zayn Malik left
One Direction. For a couple of months, he was missing concerts due to mental
health and rumors spreading about cheating on his fiancée Perrie Edwards. Fans
of course were concerned but no one would really expected or imagined that he would
leave the band a month later. On the 25th of March at 11:30 am, One
Direction posted a link on Twitter. I didn’t bother checking it because I just
assumed it was about upcoming concerts, but 2 minutes later I got text message
after text message telling me to check One Direction’s Twitter.
The link was a Facebook statement, and
after reading it I had to read it 4 more times to wrap my mind around the fact
that the member with the strongest voice in the group, the most solos
(especially in You & I), and the one who said they were definitely going to
stay together, that this wasn’t the last of One Direction left. Although I was
extremely sad and mad at the moment, I just wanted for Zayn to be happy and
respect that he didn’t want to be in the spotlight anymore. I understood that
he wanted to “be a normal 22 year old”, but what I didn’t and still don’t
understand is how he thinks he could just stop being famous. He left the
biggest band in the world and what? He just expected to walk on the street the
next day and have no one recognize him? Still to this day, 2 and a half months
later he still hasn’t given the fans a proper goodbye to an incredible 5 years
or said exactly why he left. The Facebook statement didn’t even come from him,
but from management!! Next week I’ll explain in depth how shady this whole
situation is.
Till next week,
Brianne
YES! Thank you! Someone is talking about it! I had heard what happened yet I did not know what exactly happened. I have been wondering yet I did not know where I could find the information. Thank you so much for blogging about this event. I greatly appreciate it. I also love the voice you have in your blog. I applaud you on it and encourage you to keep it in future blogs!
