One Direction “fully intend” to reform, the British pop phenomenon’s Louis Tomlinson said ahead of Saturday’s final concert before their planned hiatus.
The four-piece boy band, who have sold more than 50 million records worldwide, are ending their On The Road Again Tour at the Sheffield Arena in northern England.
The group are set to separate for at least a year, leaving the band’s enormous global teenage following devastated.
“We fully intend to come back,” Tomlinson told ITV television.
“We absolutely love this. We had a little sit down before and we decided that we wanted a break.
“We’ve had a very intense couple of years so we’re just going to have a little bit of breathing time and spend that with our families.
“I don’t think anyone could keep this pace up forever so I think it’s the most healthy and constructive thing for all of us.”
The band consists of Tomlinson, 23, Niall Horan, 22, Liam Payne, 22, and Harry Styles, 21. Zayn Malik, 22, quit due to stress in March.
Horan admitted the last gig of the tour would be difficult. The group’s fifth studio album, Made In The AM will be released on November 13.
