Perrie Edwards breaks down on stage

And, heartbreakingly, it was the song lyric, ‘no one can love you, the way I used to do, ‘ that caused her upset.

After the performance which saw Perrie, 22, break down in tears during new track The End, Jade Thirlwall shared a cute collage of snaps. “He’s pretty much been ignoring her. Unless you count him dissing her on social media”, the source told the publication.

While Malik might not have the support of his old One Direction band mates, especially since Louis Tomlinson sided with Calvin Harris in the Taylor Swift inspired feud, at least he has his family!

“Later – Little Mix have of course been celebrating four years of being a group – the LM girls told their Twitter followers, “#4YearsOfLittleMix wow what an incredible day we have had…

While Edwards and Malik are yet to officially confirm their separation, Edwards has responded to questions about the split.

The 22-year-old Geordie young woman was performing on the Today Show when she put her hand over her face to cry and her bandmates rushed in to give her a big hug.

“Black Magic” and “The End” will feature on Little Mix’s their third studio album Get Weird, which will be released worldwide on November 6.

Another felt the need to stick up for the newly-single star, against a typical tirade of negativity from nay-sayers.

Fans in the audience also offered words of support to the distraught singer, yelling out: “We love you Perrie”. “I think this is why this has happened”.

Recent news broke that Malik and Edwards had broken up and called off their engagement. He is quoted as saying “I knew One Direction wasn’t going to last and there was nobody else”.

‘Absolute blast in America.

“It’s just an emotional day!”
