Niall Horan has reassured fans that One Direction will continue on – despite Zayn Malik quitting the group.
The English singer dramatically left the group this week following reports he cheated on his girlfriend while on tour in Thailand.
However, Niall has reassured fans the lads are “spurred on” to continue on as a foursome.
“It’s been a mad few days,” he admitted.
Breaking the silence: Niall has finally spoken out on Zayn’s departure
“Your support has been incredible as per usual ! This in turn spurs us on to make the best music we possibly can.”
“Put on great shows/tours for you guys. You are the best fans in the world and you deserve nothing less from us!”
Despite Zayn’s departure, the boys have not stopped working and have continued on with their world tour.
They jetted to Johannesburg yesterday for three South African dates.
Carry on: The lads will continue without Zayn
“The lads and I arrived in South Africa this morning,” Niall said. “We cannot wait to see all you SA fans for the first great shows.”
Meanwhile, Simon Cowell has reassured fans that Niall and the lads will continue on as a foursome.
“Sometimes strength is not defined by numbers. As always you the fans have shown your amazing support to all the boys,” he said.
“When you have great talent great things happen.”
