Zayn Malik: 'I Could Never Be A Solo Artist'

One Direction bandmates for their support, admitting that he would have 'cracked up' by now if he had been launched as a solo artist off the back of The X Factor.

Zayn told The Daily Star: "I would have cracked up and gone home by now. There's defo no way I could have done this as a solo artist.

"The lads keep me grounded and it's good to know you're not the only person going through everything."

1D also hit the headlines today (March 12) after it was revealed that they will each be immortalised in wax for Madame Tussauds, with the fake fivesome set to appear at venues in London, New York and Sydney.
