Zayn Malik’s sister, Waliyha, took to social media to share a heartfelt message about her brother Zayn, who recently postponed several tour dates. The 26-year-old asked fans to be kind and show respect to Zayn, especially since he is going through a difficult time after the tragic death of his former One Direction bandmate, Liam Payne. Liam passed away on October 16 after a fatal fall from a hotel balcony in Argentina.
In her post, Waliyha shared a black and white photo of Liam with his arm around Zayn, along with a touching message reminding everyone that it has been a month since Liam’s passing. She emphasized the importance of supporting Zayn during this challenging period, urging fans to be understanding of the situation.
Zayn himself announced the need to reschedule his upcoming tour dates due to unforeseen circumstances. The 31-year-old singer was initially scheduled to kick off his tour in Edinburgh, Scotland on November 20 and 21. However, the shows have been postponed to December, with Zayn explaining the situation in an Instagram post to his 54 million followers.
The US leg of Zayn’s tour has also been delayed following Liam’s tragic death. The artist was deeply affected by the loss of his friend and decided to push back his tour dates to January. Zayn expressed his gratitude to his fans for their understanding and support during this difficult time.
As the investigation into Liam’s death continues, his family is still waiting for his body to be flown back to the UK. Liam’s father, Geoff, traveled to Argentina to accompany his son’s remains on the journey home, facing a heartbreaking three-week wait for the funeral arrangements to be made.
The postponement of Zayn’s tour dates serves as a reminder of the impact of unexpected events on artists and their fans. It is essential for supporters to show compassion and empathy towards their favorite musicians during times of grief and difficulty. Zayn’s decision to prioritize his well-being and mental health by rescheduling his tour is a commendable move that should be respected by all. Let us continue to show love and support to Zayn and his family as they navigate through this challenging period.
