The 25th March will always be a dark day for the One Direction fandom, because it is the day that 5 became 4. The day that darkness became a little darker, light a little less light, and high notes a little less high. 

Yes, it\'s the day Zayn Malik wore that to walk out of 1D, and we WERE planning to spend the first anniversary wearing a black veil and sobbing into fetus pics while listening to \'Moments\' on repeat. 

Then El Maliko went and announced the release date of his debut solo album: the 25th March 2016.

Ever since the revelation fans have speculated over Zayn\'s decision - with some claiming he\'s done it to help make the day a happy memory rather than a sad one, while others arguing it\'s a kick in the face of the One Direction legacy. 

Well now the truth is out after Zayn addressed the issue in a recent radio interview - and it turns out it\'s all a big coincidence. 

He told Zach Sang & The Gang, "It wasn\'t planned that way.

It just seems to coincide with the iTunes launch and everything." 

So there you have it - the universe is trying to tell us all something. What, we\'re not quite sure. Either way, March 25th is gonna be emotional.
