One Direction would be taking at least a 12-month hiatus starting from March next year. Report on that matter has been mounting all over the news outlets. The boys will continue to promote their fifth album, which is expected to be released later this year, through February, but there would not be a tour for the record.

The group, which is now made up of Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, and Niall Horan, has mutually agreed to take at least a year long break from the band to pursue their own projects, a source told PEOPLE. The guys had previously revealed on planning to pursue solo projects "just like the [Rolling] Stones."

Editors' Pick

News of the extended hiatus comes just days after the British group released the new music video for their single "Drag Me Down". Official confirmation is expected to be made by the band or their representative regarding the report.
