Louis Tomlinson is getting real about the moment One Direction decided to part ways. Directioners will remember how Zayn Malik's March 2015 departure from the band started the official downward spiral for the rest of the group. Less than a year later in 2016 the remaining members of the band announced they'd be taking an extended "hiatus" - which sadly ended up being permanent. It was a HUGE deal at the time for fans everywhere... And now Louis is explaining what exactly went down behind the scenes.
