Harry Styles Speaks Out About Zayn Malik's One Direction Departure

Harry Styles is revealing how he really feels about Zayn Malik‘s departure from One Direction back in 2015.

The 26-year-old musician says that he doesn’t have any hard feelings about Zayn leaving the band.

“I don’t know if I could say it’s something he shouldn’t have done. I just didn’t feel that way. So, it’s hard for me to condemn it, ’cause I don’t,” Harry said on The Howard Stern Show.

He continued, “Especially in hindsight looking at it now, the last thing that I would’ve wanted is for him to have stayed there if he didn’t want to be there.”

Harry added that it “was a shame” Zayn left in the middle of a tour and wishes he had come to the guys sooner to discuss “it a little more [so] we could have found a way to do it a little smoother.”

In case you missed it, Harry shared how he feels about Taylor Swift‘s songs about him.
