As boyband feuds go the clash between One Direction and The Wanted was pretty epic.
But The Wanted’s Nathan Sykes and former rival Harry Styles attempted to patch things up on a drunken night out in LA.
Nathan blamed his bandmates, who split last year, for starting the war of words (as you would) and doled out advice to Haz on going solo.
At the height of their spat, 1D’s Zayn Malik branded The Wanted’s Max George “Chlamydia Boy”. Charming.
The rest of The Wanted and their girlfriends waded in and before long fans were making death threats.
But Nathan insists he and Harry, both 21, have since bonded, saying: “I was out with Harry in LA recently. We were both a bit merry, but we had one hell of an embrace. I never had a problem with any of the 1D boys and never got involved with the Twitter fights, it wasn’t me. I think sometimes you can be a victim of hatred through association. I was like ‘I didn’t say anything!’”
Speaking on set of his new top-secret debut solo music video in California, Nathan says he reckons 1D are ready to go their separate ways, too. He tells us: “I think their last album sounded brilliant. 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 have fun with it, rather than be 20% of a boyband.”
But never mind 1D, The Wanted have had plenty of infighting, most recently when Max reached out on Twitter to all his old bandmates except Nathan when they were featured during the Superbowl. Nathan, who’s rocking a new dapper look in designer suits, laments: “Maybe he’d had a couple too many shandies and that’s why he forgot I was ever in the band. It’s a shame that he forgot.”
But he adds that he won’t be doing any more gigs with the lads for the foreseeable future as he’s putting the finishing touches to his debut album. He says: “I’m sure they’ll do some more, but I’m personally very focused on this at the moment so it won’t be for me.
Have Harry Styles of one direction and Nathan Sykes finally kissed and made up?
