One Direction split to take 'at least a year off to focus on solo projects

There are reports that UK boy band, One Direction, comprised of Niall Horan, Harry Styles, Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson, are planning to take an extended hiatus next year to pursue their own solo projects after a non-stop few years of touring and producing albums.

One Direction have become one of the biggest boy-bands of all time after coming 3rd on the 2010 edition of X-Factor. And of course, their fans are devastated by the news. Usually when people split to pursue solo careers, it's hard to get everyone back together again.
