Zayn Malik, former One Direction vocalist and singing sensation behind the hit single ‘Pillow’ Talk was due to perform at London’s Capital Summertime Ball this weekend but cancelled his performance just 40 minutes before the event. The reason he stated was that he suffered from the worst of anxiety. He later posted a long apology and explanatory note to his fans: “I know those who suffer anxiety will understand and I hope those who don’t can empathies with my situation.” Apparently Zayn has been suffering from anxiety for the past few months.

Gigi Hadid, Zayn’s on-off 21-year old girlfriend, spoke in support of Zayn’s condition and Tweeted, “Z- I’ve seen the battles you go through and the way you fight to get to a place that allows you to get up there for your fans. We are all here to support you and make each experience easier. Your talent and good heart will never lead you wrong. Love you and so proud of you.” So yes, it does appear that they’re back together.

Zayn Malik is the latest in a string of celebrities who have gone public with emotional disorders leading to depression and anxiety. We don’t know exactly what has caused it but talking about it has certainly helped create awareness.
