Zayn Malik was set to perform one of the final shows on his Stairway to the Sky Tour in Mexico City, but fans were left disappointed when the concert was unexpectedly canceled. Just hours before the performance, Zayn took to Instagram Stories to share the news, revealing that he had fallen ill with food poisoning.
In his heartfelt message, Zayn expressed his regret, saying, “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 love and energy I always feel from my fans mean 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 of my love to each of you.”
Hours later, Zayn updated his fans with a message about his condition. He wrote, “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.”
Despite the setback, Zayn‘s fans were thrilled just a few days prior when he took the stage at Mexico City’s Palacio de los Deportes. The performance included his nostalgic rendition of Night Changes, a song from his One Direction days that he hadn’t performed in a decade. He shared an emotional moment with the audience, saying, “I haven’t sung this song in 10 years. Thank you, that was amazing, I almost cried.” The fans’ overwhelming support made the experience unforgettable for him.
