The X Factoralum said in a statement obtained byRolling Stone, “Every generation deserves a megastar boyband and I don’t think there has been one to have the success of One Direction in over 14 years.

“There’s always a high degree of risk, and I genuinely have no idea what’s going to happen! We might uncover an incredible group; we might not get there. What if no one shows up to auditions? That could be awkward. There is no guaranteed path to success — anything can happen, but that’s what’s exciting for me, and that’s why I’m doing this,” he continued.
