Zayn has confirmed to fans that he will soon be making his onstage debut

Zayn Malik crashes TV show to announce first solo tour

ZAYN MALIK has revealed plans for his first-ever solo tour, nearly ten years after his departure from One Direction. The announcement came during a surprise appearance on The Tonight Show by Jimmy Fallon, where he left the host and audience buzzing with anticipation.

During the episode aired on Tuesday (17), Zayn, 31, took to the stage unexpectedly. He presented Fallon with a note that read, "Hey Jimmy, great to see you, mate. I'm going on my first-ever solo tour this autumn! When you’re done picking apples with your friends, come check out my 'Stairway to the Sky Tour' across the US and UK. An official announcement will follow tomorrow."


This cheeky revelation left Fallon momentarily speechless and thrilled the audience.

Zayn’s tour marks a significant milestone in his solo career, especially following the release of his latest album, Room Under The Stairs, which debuted in May 2024.

The album features popular tracks like "What I Am" and "Love Like This," further establishing his presence as a solo artist.

Zayn had previously performed to a sold-out crowd in London earlier this year, which heightened expectations for the upcoming tour.

In recent years, Zayn has candidly discussed the challenges of performing, including his struggles with anxiety and mental health. He expressed the emotional toll of being a solo performer, noting that he often felt more vulnerable on stage. In a heartfelt op-ed, he shared his desire for transparency with fans, explaining why he chose to address his health openly rather than provide misleading statements.

Zayn has been actively engaging with fans on social media, sharing a teaser video that captures him in a picturesque meadow, hinting at new beginnings. "I know it took a while but we're here," he proclaims in the clip, resonating with many who have followed his journey since his One Direction days.

Meanwhile there are reports that One Direction may reunite. Since their indefinite hiatus in 2015, fans have eagerly awaited the band’s return. The group—Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, and Zayn Malik—was formed by Simon Cowell on The X Factor in 2010.

To mark their 10th anniversary in July 2020, they launched an interactive website featuring a timeline of the band’s journey, along with music videos, artwork, and behind-the-scenes content.

Later, Liam Payne expressed hope for a reunion. Niall Horan, in 2021, reflected on the intensity of fan attention during the band’s peak, saying he now understands it, though it was challenging at the time.

Why is Gen-Z laughing at ‘Little Britain’? A closer look at the show’s most offensive jokes

More than two decades after Little Britain first aired, a new audience is discovering the controversial sketch show but not on BBC or Netflix. Instead, Gen-Z has resurrected it on TikTok, where short clips featuring outrageous characters and catchphrases have racked up millions of views. The twist? Many of these viral clips are the very ones that got the show pulled from streaming platforms in 2020.

Created by Matt Lucas and David Walliams, Little Britain was a defining comedy of the 2000s. It won awards, ran across multiple seasons, and even spawned a spin-off, Come Fly With Me. But as societal standards around race, sexuality, and disability evolved, the show came under fire for jokes that many now see as not just outdated but outright offensive.

Hayden Christensen confirms return as Anakin Skywalker in 'Ahsoka' season 2

After much speculation, Hayden Christensen has confirmed he’s returning as Anakin Skywalker in the second season of Ahsoka. The actor made the announcement during the Star Wars Celebration event in Tokyo, sharing his enthusiasm about revisiting a version of Anakin that fans haven’t fully explored in live-action, the Clone Wars-era Jedi, before his fall to the dark side.

Christensen said that bringing this version of Anakin to life has long been something he and Star Wars creator George Lucas had hoped to explore on screen. The new season, which starts filming next week, will give fans a deeper look at that chapter of the character's life, though details about his exact role remain under wraps.

'Kesari Chapter 2' opens to mixed reviews as Akshay Kumar takes on colonial injustice in court

Released on April 18, Kesari Chapter 2 steps into theatres with a heavy subject on its shoulders: the Jallianwala Bagh massacre and the courtroom fight that followed. Headlined by Akshay Kumar, alongside R. Madhavan and Ananya Panday, the film has drawn mixed reactions from viewers, with some calling it powerful and others labelling it sluggish.

Directed by Karan Singh Tyagi and backed by Dharma Productions, the film moves away from the battlefield narrative of its 2019 predecessor. Instead, it follows the legal efforts of C. Sankaran Nair, played by Akshay Kumar, who challenged the British Empire after the 1919 tragedy. R. Madhavan plays opposing counsel Neville McKinley, while Ananya Panday surprises many with a restrained, serious performance as Dilreet Gill.
