Zayn Malik has opened up about his decision to leave One Direction. The 22-year-old singer quit the boy band in March 2015.
During an interview with the Billboard magazine, Malik said he is interested in a different genre of music. He said: "I genuinely enjoyed [the band] and did whatever I could to be myself within that, but it's just not where I sit as a musician. The other boys' taste was generally indie rock. It's good music, but I don't f**k with it. That was never cool where I was from."
Malik also talked about his current relationship with his former bandmates after leaving the group. He said: "The truth of it is, you can think one thing about a situation and the total opposite can happen. I had every intention of remaining friends with everybody, but I guess certain phone numbers have changed and I haven't received calls from a lot of people. I've reached out to a few of them and not got a reply. Certain people have pride issues, but it's stuff you overcome in time."
