Simon Cowell is underway with trying to find the next big boy band, and is holding auditions across the UK.The decision for the music mogul and television talent show judge to form a new hit pop band comes nearly 14 years after he famously formed One Direction during the 2010 series of The X Factor.All five members of the band – Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan and Liam Payne – auditioned for the show as solo artists and were ultimately put together as a group by Cowell during the series. They then went on to release five Number One albums and become one of the most successful boy bands of all time.Now, over a decade since forming the group, Cowell has confirmed that he wants to embark on the process once more, and will be holding auditions around the UK to find singers who he will put together in a new group.He opened up to Rolling Stone about the upcoming venture, saying: “Every generation deserves a megastar boyband and I don’t think there has been one to have the success of One Direction in over 14 years.“The industry tends to focus on solo artists – so it usually takes someone from outside to put a group together,” he added.“There’s always a high degree of risk, and I genuinely have no idea what’s going to happen! We might uncover an incredible group; we might not get there.
Simon Cowell has declared he "needs" the UK's help as he is "praying" he finds a group as talented as One Direction as he launches a country-wide search for a new boyband.
