Zayn Malik won’t be traveling as much as he anticipated for his 2026 KONNAKOL Tour. The “Night Changes” artist was hospitalized in April 2026 for an unspecified illness, and weeks later, he had to cancel some of his tour dates.
“To my fans: Thank you so much for all the support and love you’ve shown me on the album release and, more importantly your love, prayers, and well wishes for my health,” Zayn wrote in a message on his Instagram Stories on May 1. “I’ve felt it, and it’s meant the world. I’ve been at home recovering, and I’m doing well and will be better and stronger than before. I’ve had to take another look at my schedule for the months ahead and have to reduce the number of shows on the KONNAKOL Tour.”
Zayn explained that he wanted to “make sure I still get out and see as many of you as I possibly can” and added, “I’m really looking forward to playing these shows for you, and I hope to see the rest of you around the world very soon. Big Love, Z.”
