Zayn Malik cancels US tour dates following mystery illness

Zayn Malik has cancelled some tour dates

Zayn Malik has cancelled his US tour dates and some UK shows after suffering a mystery illness.

The former One Direction star was hospitalised in April with an unspecified illness, and Zayn has now taken to social media to announce the cancellation of his upcoming tour dates in the US.

Zayn, 33 - who shot to stardom in One Direction alongside Niall Horan, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson and the late Liam Payne - wrote on Instagram: "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. 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. 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 (sic)"

Zayn's post comes shortly after he revealed that he'd been admitted to hospital with a mystery illness.

In April, the chart-topping star - who has also enjoyed success as a solo artist - was forced to cancel some fan events linked to the release of his latest album, Konnakol.

Alongside a photo of himself sat in a hospital bed, Zayn wrote on Instagram Story: "To my fans – thank you to all of you for your love and support now and always - 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.

"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. (sic)"
