The UK tour dates follow Malik postponing the US leg of his tour after the death of his former One Direction bandmate Liam Payne.

Payne passed away last month at the age of 31 after falling from a third-floor balcony at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Payne’s cause of death was due to multiple traumas and internal and external bleeding, and was later found to have multiple substances in his system.

Paying tribute to Payne in the days following his death, Malik shared a joint statement alongside surviving One Direction members Niall HoranLouis Tomlinson and Harry Styles, where they expressed their devastation, and that they would need time “to grieve and process the loss of our brother, who we loved dearly.”

A portion of Malik individual’s tribute reads: “Liam, I have found myself talking out loud to you, hoping you can hear me, I can’t help but think selfishly that there are so many more conversations for us to have in our lives.”

The singer played his first ever solo show in London in May. After launching his solo career in 2016, he cancelled what was due to be his debut appearance in June that year, citing “the worst anxiety of my career”.
