Zayn Malik makes 'heartfelt' statement after cancelling Newcastle show

Zayn Malik is apologizing to his fans for canceling his Newcastle concert at the last minute.

For those unversed, the 31-year-old singer was scheduled to perform at the O2 City Hall on December 3 as part of his debut solo tour, Stairway to the Sky.

“I'm just going to apologise to everybody in Newcastle yesterday, Zayn told Daily Mail.

Revealing the reason behind the show cancellation, the crooner said, “I'm sorry I didn't make the show yesterday, my voice wasn't working at all.”

“I needed a day to kind of rest, I appreciate everyone showing love and still being here,” the Magic singer added.

Prior to this, the former One Direction member took to his Instagram Stories and penned: “I'm so sorry to do this but my voice just isn't there at all tonight and without it there's no show.”

“I'm truly sorry to let you down, especially at such short notice... I held onto hope until the very last moment. I'm hopeful with some rest tonight I'll be back on stage tomorrow,” he wrote. “My deepest apologies Newcastle. Love you all.”
