Wait, WHO now?! Zayn reveals the person who pushed him to leave 1D

It was a sad day for all One Direction fans when Zayn announced he was leaving the band.

It seemed sudden and confusing, but to be fair, he's opened up about it a lot since departing from the lads.

However, one thing he has never said is who pushed him to leave and said he could make it on his own.

Did his parents have a say? His agent? Could it even have been Perrie Edwards before the break-up?

Well, not quite.

While speaking to Glamour, the megastar said it was an alien that made him do it. An ALIEN….???

His exact words were, "An alien spoke to me in a dream."

Hmmm, whatever floats your boat, Zayn.

We're not sure if Zayn was totally taking the p*ss here, but he answered the rest of Glamour's questions quite seriously… So who knows, maybe it was an alien. Or, maybe not.
