One Direction’s Liam Denies He’s Leaving the Group

Every other week, it seems, a British tabloid claims that a member of One Direction is leaving the band for one reason or another.  The latest story involved Liam Payne, who was supposedly dumping the band to spend more time with his girlfriend.  But now Liam's taken to Twitter to deny that story.

"thought i'd let you know this latest story is bullsh*t," he tweeted Sunday. "I love you guys so much I love this band they're my best mates I ain't goin now werrr."

A tabloid had reported that Liam was going to quit the band because he couldn't stand the strain that the group's constant traveling was putting on his relationship with his girlfriend, Danielle Peazer.  Allegedly, Liam wanted to bring Danielle on tour with them, but he was forbidden to do so, leading him to say, "I can’t stand being away from Danielle. If it’s between the band and her, I’ll choose her."
