Zayn Malik’s sister, Waliyha, has taken to social media to share a touching message in light of her brother’s recent decision to postpone some of his tour dates. This comes after the tragic passing of Liam Payne, Zayn’s close friend and former bandmate. Liam tragically lost his life on October 16 after a fall from a hotel balcony in Argentina.
In a heartfelt tribute, Waliyha posted a black and white photo showing Liam with a young Zayn, accompanied by a caption urging people to show support and understanding towards Zayn during this difficult time of mourning. Zayn himself announced the rescheduling of his tour dates, originally scheduled to kick off on November 20 and 21 in Edinburgh, Scotland, to now take place in December.
The ‘Dusk Till Dawn’ singer shared on Instagram that due to “unforeseen circumstances,” some of his tour appearances will be moved to December, with the Edinburgh concert on November 20 now planned for December 8, and the subsequent show on November 21 rescheduled to December 9. Zayn explained that the postponement was a result of the heartbreaking loss he experienced, leading to the decision to delay the US leg of his STAIRWAY TO THE SKY Tour, originally set to start on October 23 and conclude on November 3 in New York.
During this difficult time, Zayn has received overwhelming support from his fans, with ticket holders being assured that their tickets will remain valid for the rescheduled dates in January. Meanwhile, Liam Payne’s funeral arrangements are still pending as his body was recently returned to the UK after a three-week delay, with his father, Geoff, accompanying his son back home.
As the music industry mourns the loss of a talented artist and friend, fans and loved ones continue to show their support for both Zayn Malik and the memory of Liam Payne.
