One Direction went on an indefinite hiatus in January 2016. It was a sad time for fans but 1D’s end meant Harry, Niall, Louis and Liam could now go off and work on solo music, just like Zayn had already done. . They used to be in 1D, now they were out free (Iif you know, you know). This chapter details the different paths each band member went down in order to redefine themselves as individuals. Unlike other boy bands, none of them faded into pop oblivion. In fact, they all found success as solo artists. But there was one who took the global success of One Direction and turned it into solo career gold: Harry Styles. Featuring interviews with Vanity Fair’s chief critic Richard Lawson, music journalist Michael Cragg, the 1D Historian, editor of the Official Charts Company Carl Smith, journalist/Directioner Haajrah Gilani and star of Zayn’s music video(!)/Directioner Grace Dumdaw.
