Zayn Malik Has Left One Direction And The Internet's Lost Its Mind

So many ~feelings~.

It has been confirmed this afternoon that after five years in the band, Zayn Malik has left One Direction.

The news was confirmed in a statement released on Twitter by the band's PR company, in which Zayn said: "My life with One Direction has been more than I could ever have imagined. But, after five years, I feel like it is now the right time for me to leave the band. I'd like to apologise to the fans if I've let anyone down, but I have to do what feels right in my heart."
