One Direction fans were in a tizz on Thursday evening, thanks to former band member Zayn Malik.
Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan and Liam Payne had all been tweeting their thanks to each other and fans, as they celebrated 1D’s fifth anniversary.
We still miss these days :(
While all the lads posted messages, Liam was the only singer to namecheck his bandmates past and present, writing:
Zayn, who departed the group earlier this year retweeted Liam’s message, and then quickly sent a reply.
He wrote:
Naturally, Directioners were beside themselves with delight at Zayn’s kind words, and rushed to tweet the stars:
Who knew one small tweet could mean so much, eh?
Zayn’s been having a bit of a tough time recently, and it was recently revealed that his solo material won’t be released on Simon Cowell’s label Syco. Instead, it’s believed that another Sony-owned label will pick him up.
He also recently hit headlines after a Twitter spat with producer Naughty Boy.
The former BFFs fell out over a leaked video, which featured Zayn with rap duo Krept & Konan.
