Here is what we have learned about the situation.
Zayn Malik canceled his Newcastle concert over health concerns
Zayn Malik canceled his Newcastle concert because he had lost his voice. He had confirmed this via Instagram stories.
“I’m so sorry to do this, but my voice just isn’t there at all tonight, and without it, there’s no show,” Malik wrote.”I’m truly sorry to let you down, especially at such short notice… l held onto hope until the very last moment.” (via People)
He then expressed his hope that he would recover and be back on stage tomorrow after resting.
Fans eagerly awaited Zayn Malik’s appearance on stage in Newcastle on December 3, 2024. However, he ultimately did not show up, and just moments before the curtain closed, an announcement stated that the show was not happening.
“The show will no longer go ahead tonight,” the venue informed attendees while also apologizing for the late announcement. (via Metro UK)
The venue also requested attendees contact their point of purchase if they wished to reschedule or get a refund. Attendees with parents or guardians were also told to wait in the auditorium until they were picked up.
Zayn Malik later returned to the stage at Apollo 02, Manchester. He again apologized to the fans for the Newcastle concert’s cancellation and thanked them for understanding and showing support.
The former One Direction member had earlier postponed and rescheduled the U.S. leg of his tour following the tragic demise of fellow former bandmate Liam Payne.
The U.S. leg will now commence on January 21, 2025, in Washington, D.C., and conclude on February 3, 2025, in San Francisco.
