Zayn Malik recently reunited with Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horne at the funeral of his One Direction bandmate, Liam Payne. Malik’s recent concert in Leeds left many people emotional, not only because of his music. The singer paid an emotional tribute to Payne during the show. It was a pleasant and touching surprise for many people offline and online.
Malik’s Stairway to the Sky Tour began on 23 November. It was originally scheduled to debut earlier, but the singer announced he was moving the dates due to “unforeseen circumstances”; The US tour was postponed due to the unfortunate passing of the singer of Strip That Down. Although they have not given any specific reason behind postponing the Europe leg of the tour, it can be assumed that their Edinburgh concert was delayed because it clashed with Payne’s funeral.
In Leeds on Saturday, fans were treated to an emotional tribute to the late Liam Payne as the concert began. At the end of the show, the giant screen on stage lit up with the words, “Liam Payne 1993-2024 love you brother,” with a heart emoji at the end.
According to fans present in the stadium, Zain’s song Stardust with the message was playing from the speakers, after which many spectators joined in to pay their respects.
In the past, Malik and Payne have feuded, but later, the 31-year-old made it clear that he will “always stand by the Pillowtalk singer,” adding, “Zayn is my brother and I stand by him.” Will stay forever.”
