Zayn Malik announced that he was leaving One Direction just a few days ago, but the remaining four members (Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson) are moving forward -- and apparently quite happy about it!

On Sunday Horan tweeted, "Had a sit down last night with the label, started organizing our writing sessions for the next album! F*ckkk yeaaaahhhh! Can't wait!" Apparently Niall can be just as catty as some of the teenage girls who are obsessed with the band, because that definitely seems like a jab at Zayn!

Bandmate Liam Payne had a slightly more diplomatic approach, thanking fans for sticking with the band. "I can see a lot of people thanking us for staying but your the real Heros here thanks for not thinking it's finished," he wrote.

On Wednesday Zayn confirmed that he was leaving the band, and he said in a statement, "My life with One Direction has been more than I could ever have imagined. But, after five years, I feel like it is now the right time for me to leave the band. I'd like to apologise to the fans if I've let anyone down, but I have to do what feels right in my heart. I am leaving because I want to be a normal 22 year old who is able to relax and have some private time out of the spotlight. I know I have four friends for life in Louis, Liam, Harry and Niall. I know they will continue to be the best band in the world."

However, a few days after that, it was reported that Zayn was actually fired from the band in an ultimatum to get sober! "Zayn’s alcohol and drug use became a huge problem. He chose not to get clean and that is when they parted ways. They gave him every opportunity to clean up his act, but he just couldn’t do it," a source close to the situation dished to Radar.

Every November since their debut, 1D has released a new album, and the group are recording tracks for a fifth studio album while wrapping up their On the Road Again Tour. The show goes on!
