Zayn Malik has pulled the plug on his upcoming concert in United Arab Emirates. The former One Direction member was supposed to take the stage at Autism Rocks Arena in Dubai on October 7, but he has since scrapped the gig.

"I have been working over the last three months to overcome my extreme anxiety around major live solo performances I feel I am making progress but I have today acknowledged that I do not feel sufficiently confident to move forward with the planned show in Dubai in October," he said.

"I am assured that all tickets will be refunded," he added. "I am truly sorry to disappoint you. I hope to see you all soon. Thank you to all my fans who support me globally."
