Breakup? Harry Styles signs with top American agency CAA management

  Harry Styles dropped his One Direction management team ahead of the band’s hiatus and has now signed with CAA management’s Jeffrey Azoff, fuelling speculation he is trying to launch a solo career in the US.

Modest Management, who guided the 1D boys throughout their career, confirmed the news the 21-year-old heartthrob was now being represented by the top Hollywood agency in a statement.

‘We wish Harry the very best. It has been a real pleasure working with him…Harry is a total gentleman, and we know our good friend Jeffrey Azoff will look after him.

‘We look forward to sharing some great wine with them next time we are in L.A,’ Modest executives said in a statement to Billboard.

Our source has contacted CAA for comment.  

It was reported earlier this month by The Sun that Harry had dropped his management to move on with a top U.S. agent as The X Factor-founded crooners go their separate way for a lengthy break.

Long haired Lothario Harry could leave fans devastated if rumours he is attempting to distance himself from his bandmates Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne are to be believed.

A music industry insider told the publication: ‘Harry is done with One Direction. He wants to completely disassociate with the band and that includes any professional connection.

‘His new team will be about launching him as a solo superstar by around this time next year so the work is starting now.’

A spokesperson for Harry declined to comment when approached by our source.
