“I became someone I no longer recognized”

One Direction, who was one of the most lucrative boy bands in the world, released their fifth and final studio album, “Made in the AM” in 2016. The same year, the group announced a break, never formalized as a separation. The members of the boy band then began solo careers with varying degrees of success.
