Zayn Malik pays sweet tribute to Liam Payne and thanks fans for ‘waiting for him’ as he returns to London for first sold out show
As a long-time admirer of One Direction and a keen observer of the lives of these young men who rose to fame seemingly overnight, I find myself deeply saddened by the recent turn of events. The untimely death of Liam Payne has left an indelible mark on the music industry and the hearts of millions of fans around the world.
On Tuesday night, Zayn Malik expressed gratitude towards his fans for their understanding while he put on his inaugural sold-out concert in London.
At the Eventim Apollo, the 31-year-old performer acknowledged his audience, saying, “I appreciate your patience. I realize it took some time, but we’ve made it to this moment together.
Kicking off his “Stairway To The Sky” tour, the scheduled performances follow a delay caused by Zayn Malik, who rescheduled the initial two dates due to the heartbreaking demise of Liam Payne.
In honor of his deceased bandmate, Zayn donned one of Liam’s diamond chain necklaces during their performance. Earlier, he had also been spotted wearing this same jewelry at Liam’s funeral a week prior.
Greeting the crowd on Tuesday, Zayn exclaimed: ‘Yooooo! What’s happening! What’s going on London.
It truly is a delightful experience to be present here; I must confess that’s not a usual way of expressing myself, but better late than never! Thank you for your patience while I arrived. Tonight, I hope you all will have an extraordinary evening, let loose, sing your hearts out, and feel free to scream with joy. Enjoy every moment!
If others ask you to be less vocal online, disregard their advice for now; we’re enjoying ourselves tonight. Let the good vibes continue!
‘Have a drink, have a laugh let’s enjoy ourselves yeah.’
As the show concluded, a poignant backdrop displayed: ‘Liam Payne 1993-2024. I love you, my brother,’ with a vibrant red heart. This touching tribute resonated deeply within me.
Towards the end of the performance, Zayn reminded the audience to consider others around them, since the enthusiastic fans upfront were being pushed by those in the rear.
He advised, if you’re at the rear, please avoid shoving as those upfront are starting to feel a bit crowded.
Everyone gathered is here for enjoyment, I’m sticking around. Please avoid causing harm to anyone. Let’s make this night enjoyable together.
The artist behind “Pillowtalk” is set to perform in Wolverhampton, Manchester, Leeds, and Newcastle before heading to the U.S. All of his current shows have already been sold out.
Zayn is embarking on his initial solo concert tour following a performance at the O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire nine years ago, which was his first show since then.
On Saturday, Zayn honored his fellow bandmate Liam by dedicating his performance to him, marking Liam’s first appearance on stage since his passing.
At the weekend, Zayn Malik kicked off his performance at Leeds 02 Academy, and during the show, he wore a necklace that once belonged to Liam. In a poignant instant, he gently caressed the pendant, gazing upward towards the heavens with visible emotion.
On October 16, Liam tragically passed away following a fall from a balcony on the third floor of a hotel in Argentina. His former bandmates from One Direction gathered publicly for the first time in nearly a decade to mourn him at his funeral, which took place on Wednesday.
As a lifestyle expert, I’m here to share some exciting news: Originally scheduled to kick off in San Francisco on October 23, my first-ever solo tour had the US dates pushed back to January. Additionally, an Edinburgh show initially planned for the same day as Liam’s funeral has now been rescheduled to December 8. Stay tuned for more updates!
The former group members, Harry Styles (age 30), Niall Horan (age 31), Louis Tomlinson (age 32), and Zayn individually attended the church for an emotional farewell ceremony.
Harry donned black attire and arrived at the funeral in a BMW, whereas Niall came accompanied by his girlfriend, Amelia Woolley. Not long after, Louis’ arrival was followed by Zayn Malik.
In August 2015, Zayn Malik was the one who decided to leave One Direction first, stating reasons related to stress, following his withdrawal from their world tour. The band later confirmed their separation in January 2016, a decision that left millions of fans worldwide heartbroken.
Last week he revealed that his gigs set to take place next week in Edinburgh, had been rescheduled due to ‘unforeseen circumstances’.
Through his tour management’s social media platforms, a poster was shared announcing new dates. The caption said, “Unfortunately, the Zayn Stairway To The Sky concert in Edinburgh originally planned for November 20 needs to be moved to December 8 due to some unexpected events.
The event initially scheduled for November 21 at the O2 Academy Edinburgh has been postponed to December 9. Your tickets for the previous date will still be valid for the new, rescheduled date.
Even though some fans were disheartened by the announcement, numerous individuals used social media as a platform to express their worries about Zayn’s well-being and offer supportive messages encouraging him to ‘focus on his mental health’. Given the delay in his work, it was presumed that he might still be grappling with the loss of Liam.
