Whereâs all the Zsquad at!? I need to follow and friend some anti-Zerrie/Ziam shippers so if youâre in that corner of the fandom just reblog! Iâd like to get a follow chain going!
Come to think about it, I think I would be mad also if someone post a piece of a song and I did not give any approval. Like Zayn has every right to be pissed at him, but in all honesty I do not think that Zayn would publicly say this. Don't you guys find it a bit weird that Zayn tweeted what we wanted him to tweet? It just seems to sudden, it could be another stunt or it could be a cover up for the Zerrie bs last week. I don't know but before we start believing this is really Zayn and this wasn't stage look at the facts and proof in front of us first. All the love Xx ~Jessx

The term âfirst hundred daysâ as a popular concept was reportedly first coined in a July 24, 1933 radio address by U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Since then, it has become a common political check-in point after big changes take place. So, when you think about, we couldnât really not check in 100 days after Zayn Malik announced he would be leaving One Direction.
Below, explore our breakdown on all the highlights that have happened in the first 100 days since Z-Day. (The 100 day marker officially hits Friday, July 3.) To understand where weâre going, we must acknowledge where weâve been.

Where were you when you found out that One Direction was breaking up? Who do you turn to when you find out the world as you and your niece know it is over? What do you do if you just bought nonrefundable tickets to see âOn The Road Againâ specifically so you could see Malikâs brooding vibe in person, hypothetically speaking?
The direct words, from Malik himself: âMy life with One Direction has been more than I could ever have imagined. But, after five years, I feel like it is now the right time for me to leave the band. Iâd like to apologise to the fans if Iâve let anyone down, but I have to do what feels right in my heart. I am leaving because I want to be a normal 22-year-old who is able to relax and have some private time out of the spotlight. I know I have four friends for life in Louis, Liam, Harry and Niall. I know they will continue to be the best band in the world.â

Zayn gives his first interview since announcing his departure to The Sun. âI did try to do something that I wasnât happy doing for a while, for the sake of maybe otherâs peopleâs happiness,â he explained, re-breaking hearts all over the world with one statement. âAnd that was mainly the fans. I only ever tried to do it for the fans. Iâm only upset [because] I feel like I may have let them down in some sort of way.â
March 29, 2015
One Direction plays first concert since Zayn-gate. The guys donât mention Zayn by name at all, but Liam cried and briefly left the stage. Iâm guessing the crowd of 95,000 fans knew exactly where he was coming from. Â
March 30, 2015
Is Zayn trying to give everyone whiplash? Less than a week after announcing he was leaving the band EFFECTIVE IMMEADIATELY his first solo demo, âI Wonât Mind,â hits the Internet. This all feels real now, and itâs too much.
April 4, 2015
Speaking to The Sun, the remaining members of 1D weigh in on the future of the band. âItâs been a tough few weeks, probably the toughest since the band was formed five years ago,â Liam said in the understatement of the year. âWeâre gutted that Zayn chose to leave, but now after a few performances as a four-piece, weâre feeling confident and are determined to carry on stronger than ever.â
April 13, 2015
On One Directionâs management site, the band photo changes to a pic of the foursome, but Zaynâs shadow looms â literally. Upon closer reflection, itâs clear it is actually an old picture and Zayn has just been photoshopped out, but the ghost of his image remains (in print and in our hearts).
April 17, 2015
Zayn makes his first appearance as a solo artist, sporting a post-breakup shaved head at the Asian Awards, where he was being honored for Outstanding Achievement in Enraging Twitter Music. âIâd also like to take this moment to thank four of the best guys that I ever met whilst being in the band and doing all the amazing things that I did. Some of the things that we did will stay with me for the rest of my life,â Malik said during his acceptance speech. âHereâs to the future.â
April 20, 2015
One Direction: This Is Us director Morgan Spurlock thinks Harry Styles will be next to leave. Rude! (and probably trueâŚ). Lance Bass also thinks that, and he was in a boy band and didnât leave, so he probably knows the warning signs when one is about to get ditched.
April 27, 2015
Liam Payne says 1Dâs upcoming new album will be different from their teen-pop roots. âThe albums coming together really well actually. The boys weâve been writing with have come up with some great, great songs that are kind of like a bit Oasis-y almost which is ace,â he shared. âI love that.â
A thing I loved was when One Direction had five members.
May 1, 2015
Zayn Malik changes his Twitter and removed 1D from his handle. Fans donât handle â itâs important to laugh in these trying times â it well, immediately getting #YouWillAlwaysBeZaynMalik1D trending worldwide.
May 6, 2015
One of the saddest aspects of the band breakup has been watching the guys go through the five stage of grief via social media â and for a while, it seemed like Louis and Zayn were stuck in the anger stage. The two had a Twitter spat regarding Zaynâs new music buddy Naughty Boy, who didnât help the situation by taunting Louis.
May 14, 2015
The foursome make their first late-night appearance since the split, sitting down with pal James Corden in the U.S and addressing the news of the past several weeks head on. âItâs like anything, at first we were a little bit angry,â Liam shared. âObviously we were surprised, but I think we all knew the general vibe Zayn was feeling.â Louis also commented on his âfeudâ with Zayn, saying that they had worked it all out and were buds again THANK GOD.
May 17, 2015
One Direction hit the Billboard Music Awards. The group is doing fine, breezy even. They thank their âbrother Zaynâ in an acceptance speech, and Harry even managed to publicly grab Niallâs crotch, something you certainly donât do if youâre still platonically missing another dude.
June 6, 2015
Zayn Malikâs hair is green now.
June 10, 2015
JK now itâs white. Perrie Edwards, you need to do something.
June 15, 2015
Zayn covers Rae Sremmurdâs âNo Type,â it leaks, and fans freak out â but thereâs drama behind the scenes with collaborator Mic Righteous, who claims he released the track himself because he wasnât being treated fairly by Zayn and Naughty Boy. Mic Righteous also claims that the 1D contract doesnât allow Zayn to release solo music until 2017, which is a highly distressing turn of events. Fans must now grapple with the fact that itâs possible for no Zayn in 1D AND they might not get him by himself for a few years either.
June 27, 2015
One Direction wrap the European leg of their âOn The Road Againâ tour. It will pick up in the United States July 9. Will Zayn find himself backstage for one of the dates? We can only hope.
For now, fans continue to remember that each day is a new day, and time is supposed to heal all wounds.
The group, which included Zayn Malik at the time, cashed in even before they sold a single ticket

The group, which included Zayn Malik at the time, cashed in even before they sold a single ticket.
It must be very good to be One Direction.
Not only are the boys adored by girls all over the world, but theyâre also raking it in.
New figures reveal that the band - which included Zayn Malik at the time - got payed more than ÂŁ1 each just for agreeing to their Where Are We Now tour.
That means that they were literally rolling it in even before they sang a note or sold a ticket. Good going, eh?
Accounts for their company ODOT, which stands for One Direction on Tour, reveal the company had ÂŁ6.1 million in assets in its first year.
The documents signed by Liam Payne, state: âAdvances are taken to income on receipt.â
Rolling in itÂ
 The money covers the year to May 2014 which is just after the 69-date world tour kicked off.
Overall the tour grossed ÂŁ185 million, but as well as paying the band, much of that would go to paying for the stadiums, roadies and travel costs.
Zayn Malik, who quit the group earlier this year, will still get his share as he remains a director of the company through his holdings in another 1D firm.
Doing their thingÂ
 The tour kicked off in Bogota, Columbia on April 25 and ended in Miami on October 5.
It was ranked as the 12th biggest grossing tour of all time.
A financial expert said: âThey receive advances to ensure they will commit to the tour and secure their services for a certain period.
In on the action
Thereâs a huge amount of outlay in arranging a tour and the organisers will want to be sure that the star attractions are going to be there.â
Figures from 1D Media released last year show the band grossed just under ÂŁ50 million, with most of the money coming from the UK.
From here it looks like the world is One Directionâs oyster - well, except for Glastonbury.
At Glasto
Niall Horan recently claimed that he didnât see the festival in the groupâs future because theyâre ânot cool enoughâ.
He told 3am: âWeâre not cool enough to play at Glastonbury. Itâs so cool, we had loads of fun.
âWe were there for a day but we had to leave at 1am because we had a gig, but weâre going back next year for sure. Itâs great that we get to come back home after every concert on the European tour.â
