One Direction Will Take Time Off & Hopefully Get Back Together Later

Niall Horan heads out of The Nice Guy after a night out on Saturday (July 18) in Los Angeles.

Simon Cowell recently chatted about One Direction, saying they will be taking a break after their fifth studio album.

“In terms of the band, they’ve got enough hits now they can take some time off and do some other stuff they want to do. Then I hope they’ll have a little bit of time apart and want to get back together again. It’s a fun job, but it’s absolutely their decision,” Simon said (via The Sun).

“I’ve received bad calls in my life but this is not one of them. This is your business but I’m here for you…He didn’t kill anyone. He got someone pregnant. It happens every day all over the world. Again, Louis has got great family around him and, look, it’s a plus, not a negative,” Simon also added about Louis Tomlinson becoming a dad.
