Relax, One Direction fans. The popular boy band will not be saying goodbye to one of their members.

Speculation as to whether or not Harry Styles is going solo has been sparked yet again, after Kodaline frontman Steve Garrigan suggested to Digital Spy at Glastonbury that Styles may be working on a side project all on his own.

"We had a bit of free time and so we went to the studio and wrote a song. It was good fun," Garrigan said, and added, "It could be on his album if he does something, but I don't know. Nothing is set in stone."

But that rumor was squashed pretty quickly.

"There are no plans for Harry to release any solo music at this time, any writing that he is doing is for potential One Direction songs," a rep for the band tells E! News. "It's common knowledge that the boys write separately and bring to each other for the album."

However, Harry was spotted enjoying some solo time in Italy. The shirtless hunk has been photographed indulging in some rest and relaxation poolside in Lake Como while the band is on the European leg of their tour.

Wearing nothing but white swim trunks and flaunting his long locks in a pulled back man-bun, Harry was absolutely swoon-worthy.

But what else is new?
