Simon Cowell wants the One Direction stars to go off and do their own solo projects.
The Syco boss is proud of the Night Changes hitmakers but isn’t concerned if they work outside of the group.
Ever since the group got together on X Factor, people have been predicting a split, but Simon insists that he’s not stopping 1D – Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik – for doing their own thing.
Talking at the Prince’s Trust Success Awards in London, Simon told The Sun that he’s been pushing the boys to do other things and is proud of Louis Tomlinson setting up his own entertainment company, 78 Productions Limited as well as helping Sony judge a girlband talent competition.
“We’ve said to all the boys in the group, all of you should do other things. If you want to work with me, do some stuff on your own, they should be allowed to do whatever they want,” he said.
“I love the fact that Louis wants to do something with me, but I’m doing stuff with all the boys.”
At the Brit Awards, One Direction boss Simon revealed that he had given the band the green light to do solo projects – as long as they don’t split up.
The team tonight won the Best British Music Video at the 2015 Brit Awards.
The X Factor mogul, who signed the five lads after their stint on the show, thinks it’s healthy for Zayn Malik, 22, to follow his rap dreams and Harry Styles, 21, to write music, but the group must always come first.
Si, 55, says: “You can’t knock what One Direction are doing. They’re making great records and I think that’s why they’re still so popular.
“I hear speculation all the time that they’re going solo. My advice is they should stay together but still do things they want as a little bit on the side.”
