Zayn Malik cancels second show in three months due to anxiety

Zayn Malik chose to cancel an upcoming gig in Dubai, which was scheduled for October, due to severe anxiety problems.

The heart-throb was meant to perform at the Autism Rocks Arena in October but he has admitted he does not feel “sufficiently confident”.

Concert organisers have said ticket holders will get a full refund for the cancelled show, the BBC reported.

“Unfortunately my anxiety that has haunted me throughout the last few months around live performances has gotten the better of me”, he posted on social media at the time.

“I hope Zayn is ok, anxiety is such a s*** thing and I hope he puts himself and his health first”, one user wrote. I am truly sorry to disappoint you.

While fans were disappointed, many -particularly those who could empathize – offered support and understanding.

“Dick Wolf is a legend”, Malik said in the statement, “and the opportunity to work with him and NBC to create a compelling drama series is awesome”.
