I wonder if Zayn has already recorded vocals for LP5 If they don't use them, I really wonder how the three vocalists left will divide solos. As long as Niall gets more time to shine
Not to sound cynical but either this is a carefully planned scheme to prepare for his sure to be huge and inevitable reunion with the band in a year or it could just really be the fact that he's done with everything. He was the most reserved one out of the boys anyway and he had always been described as the one who always kept to himself because he wasn't really used to the whole concept of fame so I wouldn't be surprised if it was the latter. But it's just weird that he easily got out of Simon Cowell's contract.
