Niall Horan Leaving One Direction? Hackers Wreak Havoc With Fans' Heads!

Rest easy, One Direction fans! There's no dramatic boy band breakup here.
Social media was blowing up over the weekend with a rumor that singer Niall Horan left the popular group, which first sparked when sites like Yahoo Celebrity UK and Sugarscapeposted tweets claiming that Horan had opted to ditch his pals Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne.
The Yahoo UK tweet, which was posted yesterday, read, "Niall has left One Direction!!"
As you can imagine, Directioners went nuts over the "news," and the hashtag #ReasonsNiallLeftOneDirection instantly began trending (however, wanting to pursue a career as an underwear model was not a suggestion, surprisingly).

"Morning everyone. Just so you know, Niall Horan isn't in fact leaving 1D, our account was hacked last night. We repeat, Niall isn't leaving," they tweeted. "And it would seem that we weren't the only ones either. @sugarscape were also hacked. Sorry for any upset this has caused."
Meanwhile, Sugarscape tweeted, "So while we were fast asleep, it turns out some di--head hacked our account. VERY sorry for any heart attacks caused."
And for those who are still unconvinced that Niall is here to stay, a Columbia Records rep for 1D told Billboard that there is "no truth to this rumor."
Whew!
However, should you be interested in the types of reasons fans came up with, here are a few examples:
