Could One Direction be on the verge of a breakup? According to The Wanted's, Nathan Sykes, a breakup could be happening sooner rather than later.

Skyes opened up about his relationship with the boy band during a recent interview with The Mirror. He started the conversation by saying that he thinks the band latest album is great and a hit. “I think their last album sounded brilliant,” said Skyes. "But when you're a percentage of a group, you've also just got to give yourself some time where you can be 100% for yourself. You've got to do the stuff that you always wanted to do and the stuff that you always wanted to do and have fun with it, rather than be 20% of a boyband.”

Skyes has recent become close friends with Harry Styles and the two have been seen out drinking together and patching things up after a Twitter feud had started between the two singers, Contact Music added.

Now Skyes is focusing on his solo career and is claiming that for now, he will not be returning to The Wanted.
