One Direction are now on an “extended hiatus”, and with the official news that Liam has signed to Capitol Records, it looks like that break will be extended for much longer than we were originally anticipating.

Nick Raphael, president of Capitol Records UK, added: “Capitol Records UK are incredibly excited to be working with Liam”. Liam, 22, will be one of the newest shopping-only posts so that you can get acquainted to their stage sooner rather than later.

Liam has signed to Capitol Records, an American division of Universal Music Group. “They have an incredible history of artists, I hope I can follow in their footsteps”, the singer tweeted.

“One direction will always be my home and family but I’m very excited to see what this chapter brings”, he wrote on Twitter. Maybe that’s the route he will go down?

After selling over 20 million albums as part of One Direction, Liam insisted the band and its fan base will “always” be family to him, but he’s looking forward to branching out on his own.
