I watched as rivalry, hatred and drugs tore 1D apart
Dan Wootton on downfall of the world’s biggest boyband
WHEN One Direction leave the stage after their final full gig at Sheffield’s anything-but-glamorous Motorpoint Arena tonight, Simon Cowell will breathe a sigh of relief.
The tight-knit team around the world’s biggest band have been able to keep a lid on the tensions and personal animosities within 1D for the last three years — but only just.
Plucked from obscurity on The X Factor in 2010 and forced to work together, Liam Payne, 22, Harry Styles, 21, Niall Horan, 22, Louis Tomlinson, 23, and the now departed Zayn Malik, 22, were briefly best of friends, striving towards the common goal of becoming incredibly famous and even more rich.
Now for the first time The Sun reveals how bitter personal rivalries caused the fall of the biggest commercial band Britain has produced since The Beatles.
From day one I’ve been there to watch 1D’s unprecedented international success from behind the scenes — seeing first-hand how egos, temptations and a billion-pound business changed five ordinary young men with stars in their eyes.
The biggest issues in the band can be traced back over three years to an irreconcilable falling-out between their two most influential members, heart-throb Harry and highly-ambitious Louis.

‘The reality is they are splitting for a long time’: Insiders claim the ‘massive divide’ between Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson is the real reason behind 1D’s hiatus
They announced in August they they are taking an ‘extended hiatus’.
But a new report claims One Direction’s much talked-about break could be a break up, as the group struggle to reconcile a major rift between two of the members.
Dan Wootton for The Sun writes that the animosity between Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson, who have been affectionately dubbed Larry Stylinson by fans, has reached breaking point, after years of rivalry and tension over their careers and talent.

‘We saw a lot of the signs’: One Direction talk Zayn Malik departure as they reaffirm they WILL be back after planned hiatus
They achieved worldwide success since coming third in the X Factor nearly five years ago, and as they wrapped up their final gig ahead of their hiatus, One Direction have reassured distraught fans they will be back.
The pop group, composed of Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson, took the opportunity to also discuss fifth band member Zayn Malik’s departure earlier this year.
Although the news of the 22-year-old crooner’s sudden exit shocked fans across the world, the 1D boys confessed the signs were always there.

AFTER 1D’S SWAN SONG, ANYTHING GOES
One Direction’s fifth album, Made in the A.M. (SYCO/Columbia, 11/13), will be the last under their current deal with Simon Cowell’s label, after which the four remaining members are expected to launch solo careers.
1D made history as the first group to ever have their first four albums debut at #1 in the U.S., and they have an excellent shot to make it five-for-five with Made in the A.M., for which Justin Bieber’s comeback album Purpose stands as the primary competition, barring some surprise superstar release on that date. The 1D album was originally scheduled for 11/20, but was moved up a week when Adele’s team selected that date for her eagerly awaited third album.
As a measure of how massive 1D has been since the release of debut album Up All Night in March 2012, each of their four albums has sold north of 5m worldwide, and 9m albums plus TEA in the States. The group also reached a milestone with Spotify, as they hit 1 billion total streams, joining an elite handful of superstars to accomplish this feat. Just as significantly, if not more so, 1D has put over 7.5m asses in seats, and the 2014-15 world tour grossed a reported $290m, with three sellouts of the 90k-capacity Rose Bowl. Given that track record, imagine how huge a 1D reunion tour would be.
