Zayn Malik takes the cover of NME magazine’s latest issue, on newsstands tomorrow!
Here’s what the 23-year-old singer had to share with the mag:
On which One Direction member he still talks to: “I’m still probably the closest to Liam [Payne]. We talk on the phone. He congratulated me on my single. Which was nice. I congratulated him on his Brit Award. It was a good chat. We hadn’t met in a long time so we want to meet up.”
On the other guys in 1D: “I tried to have contact but nobody’s reached out. So…whatever.”
On the media storm that occurred when he left the band: “You can be in the eye of it if you choose to be. Or you can let it overwhelm you. See, I’ve kept a little bit of my sanity. I understand how the media works. Journos gotta earn their money. Paps have got to earn their money.”
