One Direction fans are disappointed over Zayn Malik’s radio silence on his former band--One Direction’s 10th anniversary, which was yesterday. The popular boy band formed on the X Factor in 2010 and other members Harry Styles, 26, Liam Payne, 26, Louis Tomlinson, 28, and Niall Horan, 26, each posted about the special day on Thursday.

The One Direction boys have certainly grown up since they were put together on The X Factor some ten years ago, and they've also broken plenty of hearts as they've shot to stardom.

10th anniversary of One Direction, fans and its very own members alike are singing the former pop band’s praises — but one particular member has been notably silent.Zayn Malik, 27, has yet to share a single thought on Twitter about his time in the band, even as his fellow members reunite online for the sake of the good old days.

One Direction is marking a major milestone! The boy band — which includes Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik. celebrated its 10-year anniversary on Thursday and took to social media to reminisce on their time together. One Direction was formed by Simon Cowell on  in 2010. Malik left the group in 2015, and the remaining members went their separate ways shortly thereafter. «I’ve been struggling to put into words how grateful I am for everything that’s happened

After Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan, it's time for Harry Styles to take Directioners on a tearjerking trip down memory lane. In case you were living under a rock, One Direction has completed a decade since their formation on The X Factor on July 23, 2010.

One Direction may not have had the reunion that Directioners were craving for as a 10th anniversary gift but the boys are making sure to let them know just how much they appreciate the fandom. First, it was Liam Payne who shared the text he had sent to his dad Geoff Payne when One Direction had just formed and then we had Louis Tomlison who gave a shoutout to his bandmates.

One Direction has officially existed for a decade and counting. It was on July 23, 2010, when the boyband was formed and the rest, as they say, is history.

On July 23, 2010, Simon Cowell made the monumental decision to put together a boyband named One Direction. Five extremely talented teenagers were asked to become a group on the music competition and within weeks they became more popular than even the British reality show.

It's hard to believe that it's been 10 years since One Direction was first formed at The X Factor. Five teenagers - Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan and Zayn Malik - were put together in a boyband and even though they lost the music competition it didn't stop them from conquering the world.

July 23 marks the day the Harry, Niall, Zayn, Louis and and Liam were formed on The X Factor.

The former boy band supergroup is preparing a new 1D anniversary website full of “immersive,” offerings, interactive playlists and “activations across digital platforms,” according to a press release.The site, set to launch on July 23, will be formatted as a timeline of the group’s history, from their first audition to the beginning of their hiatus.
