Rumors of British boy band One Direction's split have been going on for some time, but then, they dropped "Four" in everyone's faces slightly dousting cold water to thos breakup speculations.

Now, the boys are working on another album, but it seems that another hint of a split has burrowed itself in the rumor mill, and according to Master Herald, it's almost a guarantee that the boys will disband by the end of 2015, which is when their contractual obligations end.

The non-renewal of their contract have stemmed from a statement made by Harry Styles when, on a recent concert in Australia, Zayn Malik suddenly left the stage in the middle of a performance.

There was also a separate incident that involved Zayn and Louis Tomlinson flubbing the lyrics of their song, "Stockholm Syndrome" while performing in Japan.

However, that did not compare to the walk-out from Zayn in Australia, and Harry's patience is quickly growing thin. A source said that even though Harry does not want to turn his back on the group, his fellow band member's behavior is not something that he can tolerate.

While Zayn walked out, Liam Payne is also in the middle of alchoholism allegations from the media. When The Inquisitr reported on the possibility that the 1D member has been drinking too much, he took his response to twitter in a series of tweets that read, "@IQShowbiz now I don't really like responding too news articles anymore but i really think this is out of order I don't have a problem. Thanks for worrying but I don't spend my time off stage drinking I play video games with friends and go to the gym. I don't drink anymore than a uni student my age so don't treat me like I'm any different to a normal boy my age."

After the issues that the group is experiencing together, there are also the many rumors of the boys going solo with their own careers. For instance, According to Christian Post, Zayn is excited to go his own way, especially when he co-wrote a song with rapper Naughty Boy last year. The rapper even confirmed that Zayn will be part of his next studio album, saying, "I can't deny that we have made music together. It's a good time for Zayn to showcase what he can really do. I don't think that is being fully exploited with the band because there are five people and it needs to be balanced out."

Harry Styles has also been writing songs and collaborating with other musicians when he's not with the boys from 1D, although a source said that he wants to leave on a high note, and not in the middle of a ton of controversies that they seem to be subject of lately.

Do you think the rumors One Direction splitting up will sadly turn into reality this time?
