One Direction: Is the end in sight?

Music mogul Simon Cowell has predicted that pop band One Direction will eventually break up to pursue solo careers.

The band — Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson — was formed in 2010 and Cowell was the mastermind behind it after putting them together on The X Factor Britain.

And he says while he thinks they will make two more albums as a group, their future isn’t certain after those records have been released, reports contactmusic.com.

“Bands don’t stay together forever. I think they will make at least two more albums together and they are in the middle of one right now,” he said.
