Zayn
Malik has left boy band One Direction but the group will continue without him,
they said Wednesday, in news set to break the hearts of millions of teenage
girls worldwide.
Malik
apologised to fans for leaving the British band, whose hits include "What
Makes You Beautiful" and "Best Song Ever", but said he had to do
"what feels right"
"I
am leaving because I want to be a normal 22-year-old who is able to relax and
have some private time out of the spotlight," he said in a statement
released by One Direction on social media.
"I
know I have four friends for life in Louis, Liam, Harry and Niall. I know they
will continue to be the best band in the world," Malik added.
One
Direction, who played in Jakarta Wednesday, have sold more than 50 million
records and had 91 number one hits globally in countries from Britain to
Denmark and New Zealand.
Highlighting
their popularity, six out of the 10 global trending topics on Twitter were
about One Direction after Malik's departure was announced.
Malik,
who is engaged to Little Mix pop star Perrie Edwards, quit the tour earlier
this month due to stress after pictures appeared online showing him close to
another woman in Thailand.
