One Direction Will 'Never Be Over' Zayn Malik Quitting, According To Simon Cowell

We don't think we'll ever be over it either, tbh...

It may look like One Direction are just as happy as a foursome as they were a five, but boss Simon Cowell has said otherwise on the matter.

Since Zayn Malik leaving left a huge gaping hole in, well, everyone's lives, SiCo thinks things will never be the same.

"Well, I don’t think they’ll ever be over it completely because they started off as a five piece, so they’re always going to miss him," he said in an interview with US TV show Extra.

"But it happens." It 'happens'?! IT HAPPENS?!

The music mogul added that, if anything, it's made the boys even more of a tight-knit group.

"You’ve got to dig deep and you rely on each other," he added. "In a weird way they kind of got stronger through it."

    48 of 52

Though Simon was not a happy bunny when he got the news from Zayn.

"I knew that he wasn’t that happy,’ said Simon. "But when I got the call… It wasn’t great!"

Well we think they're doing just fine without Zayn, JUST FINE.

Going out tonight
Changes into something red
Her mother doesn't like that kind of dress
Everything she never had she's showing off

Driving too fast
Moon is breaking through her hair
She said it was something that she won't forget
Having no regrets is all that she really wants

We're only getting older baby
And I've been thinking about it lately
Does it ever drive you crazy
Just how fast the night changes?
Everything that you've ever dreamed of
Disappearing when you wake up
But there's nothing to be afraid of
Even when the night changes
It will never change me and you

Chasing her tonight
Doubts are running 'round her head
He's waiting, hides behind a cigarette
Heart is beating loud, she doesn't want it to stop

Moving too fast
Moon is lighting up her skin
She's falling, doesn't even know it yet
Having no regrets is all that she really wants

We're only getting older baby
And I've been thinking about it lately
Does it ever drive you crazy
Just how fast the night changes?
Everything that you've ever dreamed of
Disappearing when you wake up
But there's nothing to be afraid of
Even when the night changes
It will never change me and you

Going out tonight
Changes into something red
Her mother doesn't like that kind of dress
Reminds her of a missing piece of innocence she lost

We're only getting older baby
And I've been thinking about it lately
Does it ever drive you crazy
Just how fast the night changes?
Everything that you've ever dreamed of
Disappearing when you wake up
But there's nothing to be afraid of
Even when the night changes
It will never change, baby
It will never change, baby
It will never change me and you
