Zayn Malik had to cancel his last tour date in Mexico City due to severe food poisoning. The former One Direction member was scheduled to conclude his Stairway to the Sky Tour with a performance at Palacio de los Deportes in Mexico on Friday night.
However, he took to Instagram to announce the cancellation.
“I’m heartbroken to say that I won’t be able to perform tonight in Mexico City. I’ve been really sick since this morning and despite trying everything to push through, my body just isn’t allowing it. I’m so sorry to let you down,” the 32-year-old wrote on his Stories.
“The love and energy I always feel from my fans means the world to me, and it hurts deeply to miss this moment with you. Thank you for your understanding, and please know I’m sending all my love to each of you.”
The Pillowtalk singer later divulged more details about his illness, revealing that food poisoning was “no joke”.
“Mexico, I love you even though myself and many of my crew got severe food poisoning… it’s no joke – still struggling,” he penned.
Zayn Malik concluded his message by thanking his fans for their support throughout his tour.
“To my fans, I’m so sorry – these shows have made me feel alive, happy, grateful & at home and that’s all because of you,” he praised. “These shows, your energy, your fan projects… filled me with so much love and with a feeling I can’t even describe. Big love.”
The tour, Zayn Malik’s first solo venture across the U.K. and North America, started in Leeds, England on 23 November. It was in support of his fourth studio album, Room Under the Stairs.
