Zayn Malik announces first-ever solo tour nearly a decade after One Direction split

Zayn is preparing to embark on his first-ever solo tour nearly a decade after he officially split from One Direction in 2015.

The former boy band star, 31, announced on Wednesday (September 18) that he would be bringing his 11-date Stairway to the Sky tour to the US and UK beginning this fall.

“Appreciate your patience, love, and support,” the “Pillowtalk” singer wrote on Instagram. “Can’t wait to enjoy great music together. This time I really mean soon see you in 35 days.”

Zayn teased the tour during a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon – his first TV appearance in eight years since he performed his 2016 song “Alienated” on the NBC late-night show.

The tour will be in support of his long-awaited fourth studio album, Room Under the Stairs, which he released earlier this year.

He previously described the record as an opportunity “for the listener to get more insight on me personally as a human being – my ambitions, my fears.”

Zayn will kick off his tour in the US on October 23 in San Francisco, California, before hitting Las Vegas, Nevada (October 25); Los Angeles, California (October 27); Washington DC (October 30); and New York City, New York (November 2).

Zayn first rose to fame as a solo contestant on The X Factor in 2010. Following his elimination, he was brought back and partnered with Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson to form One Direction.

The five-piece act went on to become a global sensation, releasing a string of Top 10 albums and embarking on several world tours.

In 2015, amid their world tour in Asia, Zayn announced his shock departure.

“My life with One Direction has been more than I could ever have imagined. But, after five years, I feel like it is now the right time for me to leave the band,” he said in a statement at the time, explaining: “I am leaving because I want to be a normal 22-year-old who is able to relax and have some private time out of the spotlight.”

The rest of the band went on permanent hiatus soon after in 2016.

I'm nervous for him.

I think it's going to be a huge flop.

He ain't attractive no more. Looks like a spare member of System of a Down.

The tour and album will flop. I feel bad. He is talented and needs good writers and sound producers. He's descended into dull miasmic mush.

I'll take a healthy looking Zayn ANY DAY, over the anorexic body dysmorphic mess he used to be.

He looked horrible and miserable, like he just stepped out of a concentration camp.

So I'm happy to see that he's gotten past that.

Zayn smokes a lot of strong weed so he gets the munchies and has really packed on the pounds. Plump face and his eyes look tiny. His neck tattoos also make his neck look fat.

by Anonymousreply 11September 19, 2024 5:36 PM

He announced the tour dates and they're nearly all in small 3k capacity places. Just 18 dates overall, UK and US. His stans were expecting stadiums. The only US cities he's playing are LA, NYC, San Francisco, Vegas and Washington DC.

I saw One Direction in concert because a friend invited me. I remember Zayn made zero effort to engage with the audience, while Harry and the other guys made an effort to put on a show. I preferred Zayn but I can see why Harry became the star. Anxiety is a bitch.

Harry adores the whole thing and seems to have zero anxiety. Love the way he just wanders around London without a bodyguard. I even saw him one day at the Men's Pond on Hampstead Heath. He swam out a long way but didn't hang around afterwards.

He's probably burning or burned through his One Direction money, so that's why he's decided to try to jumpstart his career.

Did anyone ever think that only Niall Horan would be the one who'd keep his looks along with Harry?

by Anonymousreply 43September 28, 2024 3:46 AM

Niall did not 'keep his looks'. He doubled in size and has a massive round fat face that swallows up his features. Pouches all round his eyes. Liam Payne looks a lot better than Niall does.

I'm rooting for him! Anxiety is debilitating, and it's a damn shame that it has crippled him so much. He has talent.

The extra weight looks fine on him, far better than his anorexic days. Still nowhere near as tubby as Niall, and he will always be the most beautiful of the 1D boys.

If Niall and Harry are the ones "who kept their looks" then what does that say about how badly the others have done?

I was rooting for Zayn and didn’t give two fucks about this group nor can I name any One Direction song. But it was nice to see the minority become the breakout star for once. Harry Styles is hella talented. Hopefully Zayn can craft his own lane but it’s probably too late.

Harry was the only member of 1D who had the "it" to become a star. That was instantly apparent.

That said, yeesh. Even for Brits Aging Badly, this bunch is setting records.

Harry has had at least two hair transplants.

It's crazy how gray Louis is at 32. Considering his mother died in her 40s, he's probably not long for this world.

And Zayn is big as a house.

Niall was cute and charming on The Voice and won both his seasons. Not sure why he hasn't glued his ass to one of those seats — he's not on the current season. Stop pretending to be a musician; get that US TV $$$ while you can.

[QUOTE] It's crazy how gray Louis is at 32. Considering his mother died in her 40s, he's probably not long for this world.

Agreed! He smokes at least 40 a day and also drinks vodka Red Bull every day, so his life expectancy is probably mid 40s given his family history. His bio father also developed serious cancer at 42. Louis only weighs about 120lbs so he's not going to be able to carry on like this much longer before his body gives up.

Zayn is worse than Shawn. He's 31 and has only ever managed one live performance where he sang six songs. Shawn did a world tour aged 21 before he spazzed out.
