Dozens of fans waited excitedly for one of Zayn Malik’s last performances on his Stairway to the Sky Tour.

It was only hours before the gig that Zayn posted on Instagram Stories to share the bad news, expressing his disappointment at letting fans down.

Two hours after that, Zyan Malik shared provided another update, apologizing once again and sharing the extent of his illness. “Mexico. I love you even though myself and many of my crew got severe food poisoning… It's no joke, still struggling. To my fans, I am so sorry. These shows have made me feel alive, happy, grateful and at home, and that's all because of you. These shows, your energy, your fan projects filled me with so much love and a feeling I can’t even describe. Big love,” he wrote.
Just a few days ago, on March 25, Zayn surprised fans at his Mexico City concert by performing One Direction’s 2014 hit Night Changes live for the first time in a decade. Overcome with emotion at the experience, he addressed the crowd, “I haven’t sung this song in 10 years. Thank you, that was amazing, I almost cried.”
Zayn Malik’s Stairway to the Sky Tour began in November 2024 and was originally delayed after the passing of his former One Direction bandmate, Liam Payne. His shows have been deeply personal, with crowds applauding his return to performing and heartfelt tributes to his music career.
