“It’s a lot of pressure”: Joe Jonas reckons Zayn Malik’s decision to leave One Direction would have been hard

Joe Jonas of Jonas Brothers fame has spoken out on Zayn Malik’s decision to quit One Direction, and is very supportive, bless him.

Well, Joe should understand – he had a big ol’ barney with his brothers when they split. You know, creative differences and that.

Joe spoke to HollywoodLife.com and said he’s totally in support of Zayn’s tricky decision.

"Look, I went through it myself and Nick [Jonas], my brother, tweeted the other day that sometimes you have to go through some tough decisions to find true happiness and I stick behind him on that,” he said.

"You know it’s not easy. They are under so much scrutiny in their spotlight. And to live a normal free life is difficult, sometimes you want to be a kid and you want to grow up. To find normalcy in the craziness is the most important.”

We might add here that Zayn left the band for a normal life and then headed into the recording studio with Naughty Boy. But, er, yeah.

"It's a lot of pressure. I think that my situation was really unique, I had family with me.

"I feel like it is a tough world already, and I was thankful to have family and walk through it with them, but it's all about how you balance it, and trying to implement a few moments of normalcy and quietness in a really crazy ride."

Of course, Nick could be accused of jumping on the Zayn-comment-wagon in order to get some publicity, but he could also just be a massive Zayn fan. Who knows?

Any excuse...
