The handsome hunk is seen wearing his merch while rocking a hair band. The former One Direction member sings a high note- something for which he is known for sending his fans into a tizzy. Though we all know a One Direction reunion is a distant dream Zayn singing to one of his old songs surely made it memorable for the Directioners.
 
The singer was recently dragged by his former bandmate Liam Payne when he sat for an interview with Logan Paul on the latter’s podcast. Liam while commenting on Zayn Malik asserted, "Listen, I don't agree with any of his actions. I can't commend some of the things that he's done. I can't be on his side for that. What I can say is I understand and your only hope is that at some point in their life, the person at the other end of the phone wants to receive the help that you're willing to give them.”  Liam also spoke of an alleged backstage altercation. "There was one moment where there was an argument backstage and one member, in particular, threw me up a wall. So, I said to him, 'If you don't remove those hands, there's a high likelihood you'll never use them again,'" he revealed.
