Harry Styles leaves Modest Management, hires Jeffrey Azoff
Quote:
IT’S taken less than a month for HARRY STYLES to completely wash his hands of anything to do with his old band ONE DIRECTION.
I can reveal the ambitious heartthrob has sacked Modest Management – the company that made him a star as a member of the world famous boyband.
He will now be managed by close friend and top US agent Jeffrey Azoff, with the pair even discussing investing in a new Hollywood management company.
And there are suggestions in the industry that SIMON COWELL and his record company Syco could be the next victim of Harry’s clear out of anyone with previous links to 1D.
Last night a senior music insider revealed: “Harry is done with One Direction. He wants to completely disassociate with the band and that includes any professional connection.
“His new team will be about launching him as a solo superstar by around this time next year so the work is starting now.”
Harry’s move make it increasingly obvious he has zero chance of reuniting with 1D any time soon.
That will be upsetting news for NIALL HORAN, LIAM PAYNE and LOUIS TOMLINSON who are all remaining loyal to Modest.
A source said: “The message from Harry to the other boys is pretty clear that he doesn’t see 1D together for a long time if at all.”
It’s still a tough call for Modest, the company which has spent the last five years making Harry a multi-millionaire.
I’m told Cowell, Syco and Sony have no automatic option to sign him as a solo artist, which means they could have to enter a big money bidding war for his signature.
“Universal and Warner are both likely to make big money bids too and he could end up signing one of the most lucrative record deals in recent history.”
This hiatus is such a joke. They were "tired" but the minute they go on hiatus they pull this? They are one of the most SHAMELESS products in music history.

LOL I don't get it either. And wasn't Zayn leaving the group to have a normal life outside the spotlight?

lol, duh. Harry has been hanging out with the Azoffs for well over a year now. Hopeful Directioners thought it meant a change in management for 1D, but it's been obvious he was planning his solo venture for a long time.
Most groups do their best to maintain as a group and evolve within it. 1D makes it clear that they were just a product. Mess.
Harry seems nicer than Zayn. Doubt he is being shady. They all have the right to do their own thing while on break. I feel like they'll come back with one last goodbye album.
come thru solo Harry
him and zyan were obviously waiting for this to happen Zayn just couldn't wait any loner. I hope he cuts that ugly ass hair tho.
