Zayn Malik wants to REUNITE with his One Direction bandmates in a desperate attempt to earn their forgiveness and prove he has 'matured' - TEN YEARS after quitting the group amid bitter fallout
After nearly a decade of estrangement and bitter jibes, Malik, 31, is reportedly looking to rebuild a friendship with his former bandmates - and isn't averse to the possibility of a reunion.
Malik, who was 17 when the group formed, has been vocal about his estrangement from his bandmates in the years following his departure, claiming 'nobody reached out,' that he never really had a relationship with Styles, and that he 'didn't really, like, make any friends from the band' – which he described as 'generic as f**k.' Formed in 2010 by Simon Cowell on the UK X Factor, One Direction went on to become one of the best-selling boybands of all time, selling more than 70 million records worldwide and becoming the first band in the US Billboard 200 history to have their first four albums debut at number one. Last year he revealed the reasons behind his abrupt departure from One Direction, admitting he 'completely selfishly' wanted to be the first to jump ship when he realized the end was coming when the others refused to sign new contracts.
