Ever since One Direction went on hiatus earlier this year, rumors have abounded as to which of the remaining four members would put out a solo album first. Now, it looks like we might be closer to an answer.
Liam Payne
announced on Twitter Thursday (July 21) that he’s signed to Capitol
Records as a solo artist. "One Direction will always be my home and
family but I'm very excited to see what this chapter brings,” he wrote.
Last
September, Payne commented on how he saw 1D’s hiatus as an opportunity.
"I realize now is the time to start branching out and exploring,” he
said in an interview with Attitude, though back then said he he wasn’t thinking about working on a solo album.
Payne’s bandmate Harry Styles reportedly inked a solo deal last month,
though he never announced the signing publicly. It’s still not clear
whose solo album will be first out the gate, but Liam might just have
taken the lead.
