Harry Styles has said One Direction were encouraged to “give a lot of themselves away”, revealing that life in the spotlight often felt very lonely.<\/p>\n

Styles shot to fame at just 16 as a member of The X Factor-formed band alongside Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik and Liam Payne, who died in 2024.<\/a><\/p>\n

After Zayn Malik departed the group in 2015, the members of One Direction shifted their focus to individual music projects, with the band later announcing a hiatus in 2016.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the Q with Tom Power podcast, Styles said: “I think generally my experience of kind of being like in the public domain is that obviously you learn a lot about kind of what you’re comfortable with and what you\u2019re not comfortable with.”<\/p>\n

“And I think when I started in the band, we were kind of encouraged to like give a lot of ourselves away, you know, to kind of like let people get to know you.”<\/p>\n

He continued: “And I think that finishing that, and then when I started working on my own stuff, I felt like there were parts of that where I was kind of just learning what I was comfortable with and trying to like have kind of parts of my like personal life be more private.”<\/p>\n

Styles’ fourth studio album, Kiss All The Time, Disco, Occasionally, was released on Friday after he performed the lead single Aperture at last weekend’s BRIT Awards.<\/p>\n

His One Night Only show at Co-Op Live has been launched on Netflix as Harry Styles: One Night In Manchester.<\/p>\n
