Noel Gallagher: 'One Direction only have five years left at best'

Rocker Noel Gallagher has revealed that he strongly believes One Direction only have a few more good years left as a boyband. 

During an interview on 'The Late Late Show' with James Corden, the former Oasis star explained that they've had a great run but it probably won't last for much longer and he can't get his head around Zayn Malik's decision to quit while they're at the top of their game: 

"I can't understand why he would do it - because they've only got, at most, five years left. He should just stand at the back, smoke weed, get laid, just pick the cheque up and go home. But he should get himself a good accountant."

At the beginning of May, Gallagher told Rolling Stone magazine that he was surprised by Malik's decision to leave and thought he was an 'idiot' for turning his back on such a money-making machine:

"It's a strange thing for that lad to have done at that age. The greatest quote was — I laughed out loud when I read it — "I just want to be a normal 22-year-old." Pfft. Who wants to be a normal 22-year-old?! Hang on a minute. You can be f**king anything that moves and gettin' paid half a million dollars a week, you f**kin' idiot. You want to be a normal 22-year-old? Have you met any normal 22-year-olds? They're f**kin' shit-for-brains."
