One Direction have no plans to split up, and are writing new music.

The "Story of My Life" hitmakers - who released their latest album Midnight Memories late last year - have already started work on their fourth record and Liam Payne has insisted they won't be breaking up for a very long time.

"We have been writing away for the next album and rehearsals are just about to start soon for the tour. We're not splitting up. We're on WhatsApp messaging each other all the time, talking about song ideas and just funny stuff from our day. It's been a while since we have all been together so we are enjoying being back in each other's company," he said.

His band mate Harry Styles also claimed the group - completed by Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik and Niall Horan - don't intend to call it quits, even if their career keeps them away from home for a long time. "We're not breaking up. We've spent every day together for months and forgot what my mum looked like. It's just holidays," he added.

One Direction Annoyed by Album Leak

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Leaks, Upcoming Releases, Pop,

One Direction is "annoyed" that their album Midnight Memories has leaked online.

The boy band's third studio album is set for release on November 25, but tracks emerged on the internet yesterday, and they are concerned it will affect record sales.

"It is annoying because there's this big build-up and it affects sales. We really want a number one, so we're just kind of hoping for the best now. Hopefully people go out and buy it," Liam Payne said.

Louis Tomlinson is also frustrated and would rather people wait until the official release. "It's just frustrating when you work so hard on an album and you kind of want everyone to hear it at the same time. Some select fans won't listen to it until it's out, which is great. But there are others who obviously can't help themselves," he added.

Niall added, "And they're big into carnivals out there so we'll be partying with the Brazilians."

The "Live While We're Young" hitmakers are also keen to check out the sights of Peru when they play there. "We'll try the food and appreciate the women - and the culture," Louis said.

Liam Payne could quit One Direction to stay with his girlfriend.

The 19-year-old heart throb "can't stand" being separated from dancer-and-model Danielle Peazer and admitted he would ditch the boy band to save their relationship.

"I can't stand being away from Danielle. If it's between the band and her, I'll choose her," he said.

According to the Daily Star newspaper, Liam wanted to bring his girlfriend with him as the quintet embark on a four-month stint in the US, but record label bosses want One Direction to work as a team without any distractions. A source told the publication the singer gets homesick, and his relationship with Danielle is the deal-breaker - particularly after their original split in September because of his band commitments.

One Direction Would Never Go Solo

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gossip, Pop,

One Direction would never consider solo careers. The "Little Things" group - Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, Liam Payne and Zayn Malik - are a solid unit and none of them could imagine a time when they'd break away and try to forge their own career.

"I wouldn't do it. We're together now, and that's it," Niall told Barbara Walters. Zayn agreed, adding, "It's not even a question." Louis Tomlinson explained further, saying, "We're just having an absolutely great time. It'd be wrong to look at it and be like, 'When is this gonna end?'"

Barbara also asked the band about an infamous incident when they were mobbed by eager female fans in Sweden who pressed their breasts against their car. Describing the situation, Louis said, "To the point where there was actually nipple marks all over the window. What dreams are made of."
