Tissues at the ready, One Direction fans...

With the boys due totakesome time out from 1D duties, their claim of it only being temporary is, apparently, all lies!

We are shocked. SHOCKED. Especially so near the release of their new album 'Made In TheA.M.'

Reports claim that a secret insiderknows that this weekend's gigs will beOne Direction's last ever and the lads are fibbing that they'll return....

But we're not quite sure we believe it, mainly because they've got more gigs to do over the coming weeks...

"There's a huge difference between what the lads are saying in public, and what they are saying in private, which is, 'This is the end," the source said.

"One Direction aren't taking a break," theanonymous person claims. "This is it from One Direction, for the very last time.There will be cakes and cards and all sorts of tributes backstage. It will be hugely emotional for Niall."

SOMEBODY HOLD US.

But the boys have told us time and time again that they're NOT splitting up for good and WILL be back. And we believe them.

Still...

SOMEONE GET US TICKETS FOR THIS WEEKEND JUST IN CASE.
