Niall Horan Not Quitting One Direction, Rumors False

As rumors of Niall Horan leaving One Direction  started floating on Twitter on Sunday, 28 December, and Directioners went in to a frenzy, but now the upset followers can breath easy as Billboard has debunked the rumors.

Fears of  Horan leaving the group arose when sites like Yahoo Celebrity UK and Sugascape  posted tweets claiming he had decided to quit the group. But later it was revealed that the sites had been hacked into.

A Columbia Records rep for 1D told Billboard that there was"no truth to this rumor."  Niall Horan himself  has yet to comment on the rumors.

"Just to confirm, Niall is NOT leaving One Direction. We were hacked, innit. #reasonsniallleftonedirection," posted Sugarscape
Even Yahoo Celebrity came up with a denial," Morning everyone. Just so you know, Niall Horan isn't in fact leaving 1D, our account was hacked last night. We repeat, Niall isn't leaving".

The 1D band will be hitting the roads with the On The Road Again Tour  in 2015 and thus far has received dates in North America and the U.K. 

Earlier in the year rumors of his ex girlfriend Holly Scally having died of cancer did the rounds.

Th hoax  has led to some inspired memes doing the rounds under the hashtag#reasonsniallleftonedirection. Check out a few here.
