Niall going in a different direction?

Former 1 Direction star Niall Horan may have let slip that the 1D 'break' was actually a split and that he has left the band for good.

 Has Niall officially left 1D?

In an interview on American radio show, Kidd Kraddick Morning Show, when the presenter asked Niall whether or not he would be getting any tattoos, he said "No..Just because I've left the band doesn't mean I'm going to get a tattoo".

This statement has left fans in shock as it was thought that the band were only on a break. This seems to confirm that only Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson are the only official band members left.

Horan has recently released his debut single titled 'This Town', which has not lit the charts alight, unlike former band mate Zayn Malik who's solo career has really taken off.

The original 1D. 

So who knows what remains of 1 Direction? Rumours of a reunion have been in the news but this revelation from Niall could dampen that fire.
