What is happening to 1D!

One Direction has decided to take an extended break to focus on solo projects, Us Weekly reports. Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Niall Horan, and Louis Tomlinson aren't giving up on the boy band just yet, though!

They’ll have a proper rest next summer," the source revealed. The break is rumored to begin next March, so the band will not be touring after the release of their fifth album. “That doesn't mean they're splitting up at all. Even when Zayn was in the band they had been speaking about having time to focus on personal projects. They're one of the hardest working groups around and totally deserve some time to themselves," the source added.

So what will the boys be doing to pass the time? Styles wants to record some music and is interested in Hollywood roles, while Payne is keen on songwriting and DJ'ing. Tomlinson is expecting a baby, but he plans to get involved in the reality show Be In A Band.

We hope this isn't the end!
