Fret not, Directioners. Liam Payne is here to stay.

The 19-year-old boy-bander took to Twitter to deny a British tabloid report that he was leaving One Direction to spend more time with girlfriend Danielle Peazer.

"thought i'd let you know this latest story is bulls--t," he tweeted Sunday. "I love you guys so much I love this band they're my best mates I ain't goin now werrr"

Thank goodness for that. The Daily Star erroneously claimed that Liam was planning to abandon Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik because long promotional tours away from home "kill him" and he "hates being away from [Danielle]."

The tabloid also claimed Liam "feels he doesn't get the same status and respect as the big stars like Harry and Niall and sometimes even questions why he's in the band at all." 

Obviously, based on his latest tweet, this is not the case at all. And for the record, we think Liam's just as big a star as Harry and Niall!
