Huckle—Getty Images  by [Justin Worland](https://time.com/author/justin-worland/)  ## Justin Worland Senior Correspondent Apr 1, 2015 1:11 PM UTC Upset that Zayn Malik is [leaving One Direction](http://time.com/3758321/zayn-malik-leaves-one-direction/)? Don’t worry, Madame Tussauds in London has your back. The tourist site has appointed a “tissue attendant” to help comfort saddened guests visiting the wax sculptures of members of the boy band. “We will absolutely not be removing Zayn from our One Direction lineup,” said Madame Tussauds marketing manager Matt Clarkson in a statement. “We will continue to play their music non-stop in their dedicated setting, and the Tissue Attendant will be on hand when needed.” The role of tissue attendant will be filled by 18-year-old Grace Cadden, Madame Tussauds said in a press release. The company had 150 boxes of tissues delivered over the weekend to ensure that Cadden can do her job effectively. “‘Directioners’ that have visited since the news broke have enjoyed seeing all of the boys together and singing along with their songs,” said Cadden in a statement. She noted that many have been “teary eyed,” but added, “we’re prepared.” This isn’t the first time Madame Tussauds has needed a tissue attendant. The company also has someone on hand when the One Direction figures were first installed, [according to Buzzfeed](http://www.buzzfeed.com/emaoconnor/in-zayn-in-the-membrane#.ltGoJxjDAm). _Read next:_ [_One Direction Producer Shares Zayn Malik’s Solo Session Online_](http://time.com/3765404/zayn-malik-i-wont-mind/?iid=time%5Freadnext) _Listen to the most important stories of the day_[_._](http://time.com/newsletter/the-brief/?sl%5Fautoplay=true&xid=spl-fullbrief-article) ## Transcript [00:00] [ MUSIC ] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3766825/zayn-one-direction-madame-tussauds/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3766825/zayn-one-direction-madame-tussauds/"},"headline":"'Tissue Attendant' to Comfort Upset One Direction Fans at Madame Tussauds After Zayn's Departure","datePublished":"2015-04-01T13:11:55.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:48:32.092Z","description":"The tourist destination had 150 boxes of tissues delievered","url":"https://time.com/3766825/zayn-one-direction-madame-tussauds/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Music","celebrity"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5f36e653c9e8ad12/69878629cd6848cccf09a6cd/tussauds-malik-tissue.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Justin Worland","jobTitle":"Senior Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/justin-worland/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5f36e653c9e8ad12/69878629cd6848cccf09a6cd/tussauds-malik-tissue.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Madame Tussauds Appoint A Tissue Attendant For One Direction Fans After Zayn Malik's Departure","caption":"Madame Tussauds Appoint A Tissue Attendant For One Direction Fans After Zayn Malik's Departure","creditText":"Alex B.
