Hey One Direction! Riff Raff Will Totally Replace Zayn Malik!

Hey, One Direction, even though Zayn Malik has left the band, you don't actually have to continue just as Niall, Harry, Liam and Louis - Riff Raff has offered to be your new fifth member.

Today (March 23), in a move that was expected but still fairly shocking for 1D fans across the globe, Malik announced that he's leaving the massively successful boy band after five years, citing a desire to "be a normal 22-year-old who is able to relax and have some private time out of the spotlight." The announcement - which comes just days after Malik suddenly left the On The Road Again Tour - sparked Twitter reactions from fans far and wide, including Neon Icon rapper Riff Raff.

And he maintained that he'd totally be into being the next going into One Direction.

Of course, his offer will probably go unaccepted. In the statement 1D made earlier in the day on its official Facebook, the band promised that it would continue on as a four-piece, with a new album coming late in 2015. Future dates for the next few legs of the On The Road Again Tour will also go on as planned.
