Here lies the body of near-deceased One Direction. They were deeply loved, but life is cruel.
Nah, we don’t really know if the band’s dead, but 1Ders are no doubt losing their minds after the news breaking that Harry Styles has signed a solo contract.
While this doesn’t confirm the boyband icon’s absolute departure from the group, it does prove to be another building block in the dividing wall that will eventually spell the end of the pop group.
Other hints of a departure have been the registration of four singles written and performed solo by the singer, as well as the fact that he’s working currently on the Christopher Nolan WWII film ‘Dunkirk’, plus is rumoured to be playing Mick Jagger in a Rolling Stones movie.
According to an exclusive with Billboard, Styles signed the solo contract with Colombia Records, the same record company that One Direction is with.
There’s currently no other information about the terms of the contract, and nothing is yet known about a potential solo record. We’ll let you know when that changes, though.
