Zayn Malik has shared a photo from his hospital bed after a ‘long week’ of health woes, which forced him to cancel a show.
Just days ago, the former One Direction star had to pull out of a Q&A at Circuit, Kingston, with hours’ notice, citing illness.
The Monday, April 13 show has since been rescheduled for devastated fans, who were looking forward to meeting him and hearing songs from his new record, KONNAKOL.
His message read at the time: ‘I’m really sorry, but unfortunately I am sick, and I won’t be able to make it to the UK this week as planned.
‘We’re already in the process of trying to reschedule the Banquet Q&A and will be sharing new dates soon.
‘Working on getting each of your info as well to send you something.’
Thanking fans for their ‘understanding and continued support’, Zayn signed off with ‘big love’, although annoyance followed from those who were excited about the event.
Many were also concerned, since the singer failed to share any further details on his sickness.
Now, the 33-year-old has given the world an update, posting a selfie of himself receiving treatment and expressing particular gratitude for the ‘cardiologists’ helping him.
He wrote on his Instagram Story tonight: ‘To my fans – Thank you to all of you for your love & support now & always – it’s been a long week and am still unexpectedly recovering.
‘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.’
Zayn added: ‘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’, he concluded.
While he didn’t divulge exact info about his condition, it is known that a cardiologist specialises in matters affecting the cardiovascular system, which includes the heart, veins, arteries, and capillaries.
Social media has since been flooded with well-wishes for the Dusk Till Dawn hitmaker.
‘Cardiologist??? Omg I hope he’s okay’, wrote @iamveronica777 on X.
‘We love you zayn. Speedy recovery x’, added @Mandy8688918081.
@28nicewaves urged him to ‘take all the time that is needed’, while @Stayystrongm said they were ‘so worried for him’.
