Zayn has opened up about the reason behind the One Direction split. The singer, who has not given an interview in six years, appeared on an episode of the Call Me Daddy podcast this week when he shared that the boys in the band were "getting sick of each other" by the time Zayn had walked away from the band. The Pillow Talk star also added that the boys were beginning to think about their individual careers and were signing various contracts, which prompted Zayn to be the first one to walk away. The group then eventually parted ways and have all gone on to forge solo careers. Meanwhile, Zayn is gearing up for a comeback with a sound that he's described as "totally different" to before.
