ONE DIRECTION TO SPLIT IN 2016

The band, made up of Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan, will perform their last live concert on October 31 at Motorpoint Arena in Sheffield before going on a break in March next year.

There has been no fall out between the boys, who recently dropped their new single and video for Drag Me Down, and they still plan to release further material, according to The Sun newspaper.

The lads, who have been together for five years after finding fame on The X Factor, are said to have had a top secret meeting in London last weekend where they decided to 'split'.
