Nick Jonas understands Zayn Malik’s decision to exit 1D

“It’s a lot of pressure. I think that my situation was really unique, I had family with me,” Nick said.

“I feel like it is a tough world already, and I was thankful to have family and walk through it with them. But it’s all about how you balance it, and trying to implement a few moments of normalcy and quietness in a really crazy ride,” he continued.

“I feel for the fans, and totally understand fame as well and what he’s going through, but all the best to all of them.”

The Jonas Brothers, which Nick formed with his big brothers Kevin Jonas and Joe Jonas, split in October 2013 after cancelling a string of tour dates.

Nick later launched his solo career and released his self-titled album in 2014.

Meanwhile, Zayn first left One Direction’s ongoing tour last week before announcing his departure on Wednesday, March 25.

Following Zayn’s exit, One Direction will continue as a four-piece. In a new message posted by Liam Payne on TwitLonger, he assured fans that they’re “far from over.”
