“We were all in a position where we wanted to continue,” former band mate Louis Tomlinson shared with People about losing Zayn from One Direction earlier this year.

He added, “When you lose a member of the team, of course that’s a hard thing to deal with, but actually what was kind of cool about the situation is we kind of knew that we had to bond together as a band at that stage and we actually really did that.”
