Zayn Malik paused his performance at London’s Eventim Apollo on Tuesday night to urge fans to prioritize safety.
The 31-year-old singer, on his first solo tour, spoke directly to the audience after noticing crowd issues at the front of the venue.
“If you're at the back, try not to push because people at the front are getting a little bit squished," Malik said. "We're all here to have a good time, I'm not going anywhere. Just try not to hurt anybody.”
The UK leg of Malik’s Stairway to the Sky tour includes stops in Leeds, Manchester, Wolverhampton, and Newcastle, before wrapping up with rescheduled dates in Edinburgh, according to Daily Mail.
The tour has taken an emotional turn following the death of Malik’s former One Direction bandmate, Liam Payne, who tragically passed away in October after a fall from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires.
During a recent performance, Malik paid tribute to Payne with a touching backdrop that read, “Liam Payne 1993–2024. Love you, bro,” alongside a red heart.
He also wore a necklace in Payne’s honor, symbolizing their shared bond from their One Direction days.
Fans have rallied around Malik on social media, encouraging him to prioritize his mental health as he continues to navigate both his career and personal grief.
