Let's just kick things off by saying that Liam Payne confirmed recently that the guys will be taking a break...but not breaking up.
Fan reactions have ranged from panic...
Umm, "extended hiatus"?! WHAT? #OneDirection #WhatsGoingOnWithOneDirection 🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀

Tbh I'm scared about this 'taking a break' because let's not forget last time that happened we lost a band member #OneDirection

To understanding...
For 5 wonderful years, One Direction is always here to make us happy.. They are only human, they also need a break.. #OneDirection

Chill, it's just a break. Give it to them, THEY NEED IT (and we do too.) We know we'll always love and support them, though. #OneDirection

To denial/reality check time...
if they were breaking up why would they be starting another album #OneDirection

One direction is not breaking up in March. Stop feeding into the media lies.

And, of course...a warning to not believe anything until One Direction confirm it...
Just wait for the boys themselves to confirm this crap #OneDirection

Guys our boys haven't confirmed anything so as far as we all know it's just a rumor until they say other wise don't believe it #OneDirection
