Zayn Malik was a no-show at Capital Summertime Ball after he cancelled his set at the very last minute. The former member of One Direction cited "anxiety" as the reason why he pulled the plug on his scheduled performance in London.
"Unfortunately my anxiety that has haunted me throughout the last few months around live performances has gotten the better of me," he wrote to his fans. "With the magnitude of the event, I experienced the worst anxiety of my career."
"I cannot apologize enough but I want to be honest with everyone who has patiently waited to see me, I promise I will do my best to make this up to everybody I've let down today," he added. "I know those who suffer with anxiety will understand and I hope those who don't can empathize with my situation."

Before Malik issued a statement, Capital FM announced, "We're very sorry we've just been told that due to illness Zayn will not be performing at today's show. We know everyone's already had a great day and enjoyed the 19 other huge artists' performances but of course we're all gutted that Zayn's had to pull out tonight at the last minute. We're sure Zayn will let his fans know what's happened as soon as he can and we know everyone will join us in wishing him better."
