Simon Cowell has admitted one of his most lucrative cash cows, One Direction, WILL break up at some point.
But the music mogul doesn't seem too fussed by the prospect - unlike their millions of adoring fans - as he thinks they'll still have success as solo artists.
It was Simon's idea to put Zayn Malik, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson,Niall Horan, Liam Payne together in a group on the 'X Factor' but speaking to Billboard magazine, Simon said he didn't believe their recent claim that they'll stick together until they're too old to go on stage.
