March of 2015 saw the beginning of the end of One Direction. During a world tour, the band was struck by a blow as Zayn Malik announced he was leaving the band, forcing the remaining four members of the team to carry on without him. Later that year, the rest of the group disbanded, prompting the beginning of each member’s solo career, with Zayn Malik being the frontrunner, releasing his debut album, Mind of Mine, just over six months after he left, which reached number one in the album charts both in the UK and USA.
