Harry Styles Is Going SOLO! Is This The END Of One Direction?!

Prepare yourselves, Directioners!

This MAY be a lot to digest all at once!

But it looks as though Harry Styles, arguably the biggest break-out star in One Direction , may be ready to leave his boy band days behind him...and follow in the footsteps of Justin Timberlake and Beyonce into an extremely successful solo career!

We KNOW! We weren't expecting it to be this quick, either!

They've only released two albums as a group, after all!

But according to sources, while Niall Horan used the brief break from the Take Me Home world tour to attend his brother's wedding, Harry took off to El Lay, where he spent his free time writing and recording his own material at Paramount, with the help of Ed Sheeran !

Insiders explain further:

‘He loves messing around with some of the new songs he’s been working on. He’s bounced some ideas off his friend Ed Sheeran and has already laid down some vocals. Harry’s priority is obviously still with 1D. But when he decides the time to go solo has arrived, he’s likely to have a project raring to go.’

PHEW! We were starting to get nervous that he was already half-way out the door!

And we just simply don't know if our heart could take that!

HOWEVER, we are delighted to hear that the 19-year-old has his creative juices flowing, and is already looking forward to and laying the groundwork for the next stage of his career!

Smart, practical thinking, Boo!

Now give us a sneak peek at some of the tunes on which you were working!

It IS Easter Sunday, after all! Ha!

What do U think? Should Harry leave One Direction for a solo career?!
