Highly doubt this, but E! News are a major news outlet, so thought I'd post.

(...) E! News has learned that another band member may be leaving soon as well.
Brace yourselves, everyone, but*Harry Styles is eyeing a transition from boy-bander to Hollywood darling.
Yep, that's right, an insider tells us that "Harry has told his friends that the wants to get into acting. He loves Los Angeles."
And in addition to taking his talents to the big screen, Styles is already working on some new (solo) music projects with several other famous faces in the biz.
"He's been writing with other artists like Meghan Trainor, Kodaline and Ariana Grande," our source dished.
(...)
"He certainly has hopes of doing solo stuff, branching out on his own, and so this might be the natural juncture in which to do that."
I could totally see it happening. I think he'll stick around for one more album but promote his solo stuff at the same time (ala Mel B with the Spice Girls and the Forever album after Geri Halliwell left) and then 1D will end with album 5 and he'll just go full solo.
