Zayn Malik Rocks

Former One Direction band member Zayn Malik is releasing his first autobiography, which will include personal photographs and drawings, presenting his own story so that fans "can judge me on my own terms, not on what the press or anyone else says."

Zayn Malik shocked the world in 2015 when he unexpectedly announced his departure from One Direction, one of the most successful British groups of all time. Despite his desire to step back from the spotlight, Zayn had no intention of stepping back from music, his one true passion. Indeed, he was determined to prove any doubters wrong. Able to forge his own musical path at last, Zayn unveiled hidden talents in his debut solo album Mind of Mine which showcased an eclectic range of influences, from R&B to reggae and even classical. When One Direction first formed on The X Factor in 2010, few could have predicted the record-breaking successes they would achieve, or the millions of adoring fans they would gain. Despite the controversy over his departure from the band, Zayn has continued this trend of unprecedented success in his solo career, with his first single ‘Pillowtalk’ reaching No.1 around the world. In this fully updated biography, top celebrity biographer Sarah Oliver traces Zayn’s steps so far, from boyhood in Bradford, to One Direction stardom and his development as a solo artist. Aged just twenty-three, it is only the beginning for Zayn, and the brilliance of Mind of Mine is a sign of even greater things to come.

This is a must have book for any fans of One Direction, especially all those infatuated with teen heart-throbs Zayn Malik and Liam Payne. One Direction came to the world's attention after coming second in the 2011 series of The X Factor. Since then they have gone from strength to strength, dominating the charts in the UK and the USA, and capturing the hearts of millions.

When Zayn Malik unexpectedly announced on 25 March 2015 that 'after five years, I feel like it is now the right time for me to leave the band' the shockwaves were felt around the world. When One Direction first formed on The X Factor in 2010, few could have expected the furore Zayn's statement would cause just a few years later. Coming from a typical Bradford family, there was little to suggest that Zayn Malik was destined to become one of the world's biggest stars. But despite the setback of finishing third on The X Factor, the boys signed a GBP2 million contract and never looked back, bringing out number one single after number one single and gaining legions of devoted fans from all over the world. Known as being one of the most mischievous members of One Direction, Zayn appeared to have settled down when he proposed to Little Mix star Perrie Edwards, becoming one of the most followed couples ever. But after a tumultuous few days, with tabloid allegations rocking their sturdy relationship, it appeared Zayn had to make a choice: the band that he loved or the love of his life. But, at the tender age of twenty-two, there is no suggestion that Zayn's career is anywhere near over - just days after announcing the split, he was back in the recording studio with Naughty Boy, working on potential material for a new solo career. Zayn: A New Direction provides an in-depth exploration into the world of Zayn Malik, from boyhood in Bradford, to his incredible time with 1D and what the next step will be for Zayn as well as the rest of One Direction.
