One Direction star Harry Styles has confirmed he has no plans to quit the band.

The singer is often plagued by rumours that suggest he will start a solo career and leave the 'Kiss You' group behind.

Speaking to heat magazine, Styles reiterated his commitment to One Direction and expressed his annoyance at the rumours - because they hurt his fans. The heartthrob said:

"I'm not leaving One Direction. It's a shame because rumours like that upset our fans. I enjoy being in the band more than ever."

The 'Live While We're Young' man added that the group's current UK tour is going well, with the boys able to enjoy their own space. He said:

"The tour is going great. It's like having four brothers. We spend all of our time together, but we do our own things once in a while."
