Zayn Malik Cancels U.S. Tour Dates After April Hospitalization


Zayn Malik has canceled all his planned stops in the United States for his upcoming KONNAKOL Tour.

The former One Direction singer announced the news on Friday, noting that he would be reducing the number of shows he’d be playing after he was hospitalized last month from an undisclosed medical condition.

“To my fans: Thank you so much for all the support and love you’ve shown me on the album release and more importantly your love, prayers, and well wishes for my health,” he wrote on his Instagram Story. “I’ve felt it, and it’s meant the world. I’ve been at home recovering and I’m doing well and will be better and stronger than before. I’ve had to take another look at my schedule for the months ahead and have to reduce the number of shows on the KONNAKOL Tour.”

Malik continued, “I want to make sure I still get out and see as many of you as I possibly can. I’m really looking forward to playing these shows for you, and I hope to see the rest of you around the world very soon. Big Love, Z.”

The “Pillowtalk” singer canceled a few of his planned April press appearances (including stints on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and The Tonight Show) due to an undisclosed medical condition. Last month, he shared a photo on Instagram of himself lying in a hospital bed, with a hospital gown on and tubes attached to his body.

“To my fans – Thank you to all of you for your love & support now & always- been a long week and am still unexpectedly recovering,” he captioned the post. “Heartbroken that I can’t see you all this week, I wouldn’t be in the place I am today without you guys and am so thankful for your understanding. Thank you to the incredible hospital staff of Drs, nurses, cardiologist, management, admin and everyone who has helped along the way and continue to. You are all legends! Big big love xx z.”

On the website for Malik’s KONNAKOL Tour, there are a number of international dates still set. The tour will kick off on May 23 in London. The singer will make subsequent stops in Mexico, Chile, Argentina and Brazil, before capping off with an Oct. 14 performance in Peru. All planned stops in the U.S. have been removed.

Elsewhere on his slate, Malik is expected to reunite onscreen with his former One Director bandmate Louis Tomlinson for a U.S. road trip documentary series for Netflix. A release date for the project has not been set, but it is expected to release in 2026.

The Hollywood Reporter reached out to Malik’s reps, but did not hear back by the time of publication.
