One Direction's Zayn Malik has said that being a solo artist doesn't appeal to him as he feels lucky to have a camaraderie with his four band-mates.
The singer said in a clip from the group's Who We Are audiobook, "If I did this by myself it would be a lot more difficult.
"Simply because having four other people that do exactly the same thing as you, go through exactly the same experiences, have the same life experiences to a certain extent because you've lived the same life for the last three or four years is a really useful thing.
"It is cool to have that and it would be more difficult to be a solo artist I think. Sometimes I do look at solo artists and I feel a bit sorry for them because they don't have that, whereas we have a proper comeraderie."
