‘Back in the day, One Direction enjoyed considerable success and dominated the reported charts. Without a picture in the attic, though, good fortune and good looks cannot last forever. Decline is inevitable. It can be embraced with dignity but this eludes some performers, who simply go on playing the same tired old tunes for too long, sadly. Rare is the David Bowie, able to reinvent and adapt to move with the times. One Direction chose the former course and recently went their separate ways, abandoning their vocation to spend and enjoy the fruits of their labours. It is a lesson worth heeding.’
