Zayn Malik is focusing on his health after a recent hospitalization.
Days after the KONNAKOL singer, 33, shared a photo of himself in a hospital bed "unexpectedly recovering" from a mystery illness, Malik is reportedly taking a step back from scheduled events.
A source told People that the One Direction alum was putting a pause on making appearances and promoting his new album, including meet-and-greets with fans and a previously scheduled appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, to prioritize his health and reportedly receive treatment from the "No. 1 cardiologist in the world."
"He's still working through his health issues," the insider said. "He was supposed to appear on Fallon but isn't able to due to doctor's recommendations."
Paired with a snap of himself in a hospital gown with wires hooked to his chest, Malik shared an unexpected health update with fans on Friday (April 17), thanking them for their continuous love and support especially after a "long week" dealing with medical issues.
"Heartbroken that I can't see you all this week, I wouldn't be in the place I am today without you guys and am so thankful for your understanding," he said, going on to thank the "incredible" hospital staff for their care.
