Zayn Malik’s fans are so proud of him as he continues his ongoing Stairway to the Sky tour, despite the emotional toll after Liam Payne’s death.

The former One Direction singer kicked off the tour amid personal challenges, and on December 1, he shared highlights from his recent concert in Manchester, prompting fans to voice their support.

"PROUD OF YOU! You’re doing amazing [fire and red heart emoji]," one fan wrote.

"I’m so proud of you. Love you, boy," another commented.

"I love you and miss you a lot. I’m beyond proud of you, Zayn [red heart emoji]," a third fan added.

A fourth fan expressed, "My man is back, and I’m so proud of him."

The outpouring of love comes as Zayn, 31, embarked on his tour just three days after attending the funeral of his former One Direction bandmate.

Before the opening night of his solo tour at Leeds O2 Academy, Zayn had postponed the tour twice, first due to Liam’s tragic death and then again because of "unforeseen circumstances."

In the wake of Liam’s death, Zayn’s sister Waliyha urged fans to be kind and patient with him as he copes with the loss of his "brother."

Fans, deeply concerned about his mental health, rallied on social media, sending him well wishes.

Now, as Zayn delivers incredible performances, including one in Liam’s hometown of Wolverhampton, fans are proud to see him pushing forward despite personal loss.
