Zayn Malik postponed the US leg of his upcoming tour after Liam Payneโs death.
The 31-year-old โPillowtalkโ singer shared the news on his Instagram Stories Saturday, four days before the tour was set to begin in San Francisco on Oct. 23.
โGiven the heartbreaking loss experienced this week, Iโve made the decision to postpone the U.S. leg of theย Stairway to the Sky Tour,โ Malik wrote in a statement.
โThe dates are being rescheduled for January and Iโll post them as soon as itโs all set in the next few days,โ he said, adding, โYour tickets remain valid for the new dates. Love you all and thank you for understanding.โ
Malik announced his first-ever solo tour back in September, in support of his fourth studio album, โRoom Under the Stairs,โ which came out in May.
โSTAIRWAY TO THE SKY TOUR 2024. Appreciate your patience, love, and support. Canโt wait to enjoy great music together,โ he wrote on Instagram two months ago. โThis time I really mean soon ๐ see you in 35 daysโฆ.โ
The seven shows on the U.S. leg will now take place in early 2025, meaning Malikโs tour will begin with the European leg. His first show is in Edinburgh, Scotland on November 20.
Malik broke his silence on Payneโs death on Thursday. The late star tragically fell to his death from a hotel balcony in Argentina on Wednesday. He was 31.
โLiam, I have found myself talking out loud to you, hoping you can hear me, I canโt help but think selfishly that there were so many more conversations for us to have in our lives,โ Malik wrote, alongside a photo of himself and Payne appearing to cuddle while sleeping on a tour bus.
โI never got to thank you for supporting me through some of the most difficult times in my life. When I was missing home as a 17 yr old kid you would always be there with a positive outlook and reassuring smile and let you know. that you were my friend and I was loved,โ Malik went on.
He continued, โEven though you were younger than me you were always more sensible than me you were headstrong, opinionated, and gave no fโks about telling people when they were wrong. Even though we butted heads because of this a few times, I always secretly respected you for it.โ
Malik ended his statement by saying he will โcherishโ his memories with Payne and that heโs โbeyond devastatedโ over his former bandmateโs death. โI hope that wherever you are right now you are good and are at peace and you know how loved you are,โ he added.
The members of One Direction โ Malik, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan โ also put out a joint statement reacting to Payneโs death.
โIn time, and when everyone is able to, there will be more to say. But for now, we will take some time to grieve and process the loss of our brother, who we loved dearly,โ they said.
Payne rose to fame alongside Malik, Styles, Horan and Tomlinson after the group was formedย on โThe X Factorโย in 2010.ย
The group released four albums untilย Malik announced his departureย from the band in March 2015.ย They released one last record before their indefinite 2016 hiatus.
Payne and Malik had an up and down relationship over the years. Payne said in 2022 on Logan Paulโsย โImpaulsiveโ podcast that there were โmany reasonsโ why he dislikes Malik.
He ended up apologizing for the comments a month later.
โI was saying that there will always be things we disagree on but that I will always, always be on his side,โ Payneย shared via Xย in June 2022. โThatโs family. Zayn is my brother and I will stand by him forever.โ
