One Direction's tour manager Paul Higgins has reportedly quit working for the band because he can't stand Zayn Malik's behavior! Apparently, he was so upset that the singer missed the group's TODAY show appearance that he headed to London rather than join 1D in America.

However, we don't know if there's any truth to this rumor. Based on his tweets, it seems like he was flying to the United Kingdom to hang out with family.

Besides, he's so close to 1D that they jokingly call him "Daddy" — and he's even caught Harry Styles in his bare hands.

We don't think he would abandon them over Zayn's illness. That's not the kind of bond that can go away that quickly!

Do you think that the band's tour manager quit because of Zayn? Is he just taking a vacation? Tell us in the comments!
