Zayn Malik, who left the band in March 2015, has not spoken out about the momentous occasion.
Simon Cowell, who helped bring the group together on The X Factor, shared a short but sweet message.
“Today is a very special day. I was lucky enough to meet five guys. Who were so much fun. So talented. It feels like 10 minutes ago. And you made it happen,” he wrote.
To celebrate the milestone anniversary, the band released a special new video highlighting their career.
The video follows 1D from their early video diaries to releasing their latest single ‘History’, including clips from music videos, live performances and candid behind the scenes video content, as well as their special relationship with Directioners.
One Direction also launched a new website, 10YearsOf1D.com, but fans have crashed the site all day from the demand of them wanting to check it out. As of the time of this posting, the site is still down, and shows the hashtag #DIRECTIONERSBREAKTHEINTERNET on the screen!
Starting tonight (July 25), newly enhanced 4k versions of music videos from each album will be released, starting with “What Makes You Beautiful”.

Amelia, 23, is a shoe buyer for the brand Nicholas Kirkwood. The two have reportedly gotten very close as he quarantines at home in London.
“Niall is very serious about Amelia, lockdown has definitely intensified his feelings for her,” a source shared with the news site. “He thinks Amelia’s gorgeous but they also really get on — and she’s told close friends this could be the real deal.”
Amelia recently shared a black and white photo of she and Niall on her Snapchat, with the caption “Sunday’s vibe” along with a heart emoji.
The 26-year-old musician is featured on Ashe‘s new tune “Moral of the Story“.
“From the minute Ashe got in touch and I heard this song, I loved it so much,” Niall said of the song. “From the chord choices to the natural storytelling melodies that she possesses, it was a no brainer that I was going to be a part of it. We sat on FaceTime for ages chatting, writing different parts and having a laugh. Ashe is a legendddddd. She’s insanely talented and I’m proud to say she’s now my friend.”
“Niall’s voice on ‘Moral of the Story’ feels so natural and organic. He’s absurdly talented. It feels like he was in the room the day we wrote it, as if he had been there all along and I just didn’t know it,” Ashe said. “This is the most personal song I’ve ever written/released and I needed to know Niall was going to treat it with the same vulnerability and care. He absolutely exceeded those expectations.”
Louis Tomlinson is speaking out about the Black Lives Matter movement and the current state of the United States.
The 28-year-old singer took to social media to share a message with fans.
“As a white privileged man, I am fortunate to have been able to live my life without prejudice,” he started out. “I am appalled and deeply saddened by the police brutality that the world has witnessed over the past week that caused the death of George Floyd. It is disgusting that many people continue to live in fear purely due to the colour of their skin.”
“Enough is enough. I want to let the black community know that I stand with you, and with anyone protesting in support of racial equality,” Louis added. “To help support this I have made private donations to a number of charities. Here’s how you can help – blacklivesmatter.carrd.co”
“I am with you. Black Lives Matter. All my love, Louis,” he concluded.
I’m donating to help post bail for arrested organizers. Look inwards, educate yourself and others. LISTEN, READ, SHARE, DONATE and VOTE. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. BLACK LIVES MATTER.
THUGS ?? these people are protesting against the fact that one of YOUR animalistic white policemen kneeled on George’s windpipe and forced him to stop breathing and killed him?? THUGS???? Are you listening to yourself?
Racism has been rampant for hundreds of years, it’s just that in this century people have camera phones to video it. It’s absolutely disgusting that you get mistreated because of the colour of your skin. You would think that those that are there to protect us, would protect.
