ZAYN Malik has cancelled 22 UK and US tour dates after a hospital stay with a mystery illness.

The former One Direction star, 33, shared a fresh update revealing he is now back home and recovering well.

His biggest ever 31-date solo KONNAKOL Tour has been slashed to just nine shows as he focuses on regaining his strength.

Originally, Zayn was set to kick off in Manchester on May 12, then Glasgow, Birmingham, and London before heading overseas.

Now the tour will start in London with Manchester rescheduled for the following day.

On Instagram Stories, Zayn thanked fans for their support and prayers, saying, “I’ve felt it, and it’s meant the world.”

He added, “I’ve been at home recovering and I’m doing well and will be better and stronger than before.”

The singer explained he had to rethink his schedule to ensure he can still perform as many shows as possible.

Despite cancellations in Glasgow and Dublin, Zayn remains booked for dates across Mexico, South America, and the US, finishing in Miami this November.

This tour was a major milestone for Zayn after he previously pulled out of live shows due to “extreme anxiety.”

His health update comes amid past tensions with One Direction bandmate Louis Tomlinson, but Zayn stayed focused on his recovery and music.

Fans will be watching closely as Zayn takes time to rebuild his stamina for the road ahead.
