Zayn Malik shocked TV viewers with a surprise appearance on The Tonight Show as he made a major announcement.

The former One Direction star, 31, crashed Jimmy Fallon’s talk show for the second time in six months last night.

The host was ‘shocked’ as last night Zayn approached the host with a mug and a note.

‘Zayn! Wait Zayn?’ said Jimmy feigning surprise.

The singer then put on one of his new tunes, danced a little, handed Jimmy the note, and exited the stage.

Reading the note Jimmy said in a very poor English accent: ‘Hey Jimmy, great to see you mate. I’m going on me first-ever solo tour this autumn.

‘So maybe when you’re done picking apples with ya buds you can come check out my Stairway to the Sky tour across the US and UK.

‘I’m making an official announcement tomorrow morning, let me know what date you wanna come.’

Zayn previously pulled off a similar stunt when he appeared on the show in March to hand Jimmy a note announcing his then-new single What I Am.

Since leaving the boyband One Direction in 2015, the singer has released four solo albums titled: Mind of Mine (2016), Icarus Falls (2018), Nobody is Listening (2021), and Room Under the Stairs (2024).

His first album was a huge success and included tracks such as Pillowtalk, Like I Would, and Wrong featuring Kehlani.

Following the success of this debut album the artist was scheduled to perform at several promotional events.

However, he cancelled his gig at the Capital Summertime Ball. He apologised to fans and blamed his ‘anxiety’. He then cancelled other promotional appearances and performances as he continued to struggle with the ‘worst anxiety of his career.’

The post read: ‘To all those people who have been waiting to see me perform at the Capital Summertime Ball today. I flew into the UK last night to appear in my home country in front of my family, friends and, most importantly, my UK fans.

‘Unfortunately, anxiety, which has haunted me throughout the last few months around live performances has got the better of me… with the magnitude of the event, I have suffered the worst anxiety of my career.

‘I cannot apologize enough, but I want to be honest with everyone who has patiently waited to see me. I promise I will do my best to make this up to everybody I’ve let down today.

‘I know those who suffer from anxiety will understand, and I hope those who don’t can empathize with my situation.’

Since his initial success he has yet to announce a tour, so this brand new tour will be huge news for fans who have eagerly followed his solo career for the past nine years.

Following his television announcement fans took to social media to share their excitement.

‘THE WAIT IS OVER!!’ commented Milys_mind on the video from The Tonight Show.

‘I’m crying like after so many years, we’re finally gonna get a zayn tour,’ said AmeeraKane.

Omg I thought this day would never come,’ said Dianaerikapaz.

Further details about the tour dates and venues have yet to be released by the star but the singer has teased that there will be an announcement at some point today.
