Louis Tomlinson was the hardest hit by Zayn Malik's 1D departure

One Direction suffered a blow earlier this year after member Zayn Malik walked out of the band and singer Louis Tomlinson has now opened up about the sudden change to their line-up, admitting that he was really affected by it. 

Speaking about Malik's decision to quit, the 'Drag Me Down' heartthrob explained:

"It was hard. I think maybe for me the most. But he wanted to be happy and he wasn't. Everything had always been good and then something bad happens and you have to make decisions, you have to work out what you want and it makes you really know what you want. We all knew we wanted this."

Tomlinson went onto add that at least Malik quit the band before they started work on their forthcoming new record, 'Made In The AM': "The good thing was, he left just before we made the album. It was like, ‘Right, let's make it the best album.’ So we worked our backsides off because we want to show we are a band, we're here and this is what we do."
