Harry Styles is like a 'Stranger' to his One Direction bandmates amidst solo career and break up rumors

Over the last few weeks, we've been hearing a lot of reports concerning Harry Styles' future prospects with his boy band One Direction. Despite being in a contract with the band through 2016, insiders are saying that the heartthrob is trying to distance himself from the group and is exploring new career options. Do you think Harry wants to start a solo singing career in the near future?

These rumors started when Styles was late to the stage at the 2014 Brit Awards after the rest of One Direction went up to accept their award. He said he was in the restroom, but many believe he was simply spending as much time away from the rest of the group as he could.

"There were a couple of the lads who thought Harry did it on purpose just to get all the attention," an insider told The Daily Star. "It's as if Harry isn't part of the group. It's going to come to a head now because for the first time in months they are going to be spending every day together as they rehearse for this summer's tour."

"The boys want reassurances from Harry that he's in the group for the long haul. They won't let him just use them for his own career ambitions. They want to know what's really going on," the source added.

Styles was recently linked romantically to Kendall Jenner and though that relationship has apparently ended, he's still spending a lot of time in the States. He's been spotted hanging out with Hollywood's finest, with rumors of an acting career popping up.

"It's like he has two separate lives now," this source said. "One in America and his work with the band. Now he's going to come back in and act like they are all best mates again? It's unlikely!"

Are you worried about these rumors or are you not letting them get to you?
