MUMBAI: One Direction fans are disappointed over Zayn Malik’s radio silence on his former band--One Direction’s 10th anniversary, which was yesterday. The popular boy band formed on the X Factor in 2010 and other members Harry Styles, 26, Liam Payne, 26, Louis Tomlinson, 28, and Niall Horan, 26, each posted about the special day on Thursday. But Zayn, 27, who left the band in 2015 after struggling with stress, did not share anything on social media. Many fans who were hoping to see the former band member post a heartfelt message were left disappointed.
Many fans requested the singer to say something, social media users also shared memes about staying up to see if he made reference to the anniversary. One fan said: “Zayn, just a little 'thank you' would mean a lot to us please.” While another wrote: “Zayn... say something... please.
The star is currently expecting his first child with on-off supermodel girlfriend Gigi Hadid. Zayn's departure from the band in 2015 appeared acrimonious, despite the Bradford-born star denying any rift with the remaining members. The other four continued briefly but announced they would be taking a hiatus later that year.
Each of the other four members posted heartfelt tributes to each other and their fans on the emotional day. And Simon Cowell, who formed the band, shared a sweet message on Twitter. He wrote: “Today is a very special day. I was lucky enough to meet five guys. Who were so much fun. So talented. It feels like 10 minutes ago. And you made it happen.”
