One Direction fans react to Zayn leaving: 'I cried for a long time'

One Direction fans have told Pressparty about their thoughts on Zayn Malik leaving the group.

The singer called time on the band on Wednesday (March 25), citing his need desire to live a more normal life after five years in the spotlight.

The lads will now continue as a four-piece and a new album is in the pipeline.

Pressparty reached out to One Direction fans on Twitter today (March 26) for their reaction to the news.

@500daysofharry responded: "I'm completely devastated. I cried for a long time, but look, if Zayn is happy, then I need to learn to be as well.

"As long as he's happy with his decision and I will always support his life decisions. I am glad he is happy now."

@xAnne24x added: "All power to him for making a decision that was impossible. His health and happiness has to come first.

"Anyone suffering from depression understands what a debilitating illness it is. I wish him all the love in his future."

@chey_kittycat said that the news has been a hard blow for fans of the pop group.

She said: "It sucks for directioners, but he is doing what is best for him."
