Zayn Malik asked fans to stop pushing and ensure everyone was safe during his performance at London’s Eventim Apollo on Tuesday.
Currently on his debut solo tour, the 31-year-old singer spoke to the audience when the back-row fans shoved the front-row fans.
Zayn Malik stated, “If you’re at the back, try not to push because people at the front are getting a little bit squished. We’re all here to have a good time, I’m not going anywhere. Just try not to hurt anybody.”

The Daily Mail reports that Malik’s Stairway to the Sky tour’s UK leg will conclude with rescheduled gigs in Edinburgh after stops in Leeds, Manchester, Wolverhampton, and Newcastle.
The tour also took on a solemn tone after Liam Payne, Malik’s former bandmate from One Direction, died tragically in October after falling from a Buenos Aires hotel balcony.
A compelling backdrop that read, “Liam Payne 1993–2024,” was displayed during a portion of Malik’s latest performance as an homage to Payne. “Love you, bro,” with a red heart.
Furthermore, Zayn Malik has been outspoken about his loss, delaying the U.S. portion of his tour and changing the UK dates to compensate.
