Zayn Malik announced a UK tour while appearing on the US talk show The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon with a video being posted on social media on September 18.
The video shared to X, formerly Twitter, by the chat show showed Malik appearing from the side of the stage and playing some music on a laptop that was on Fallon’s desk before passing the presenter a note.
A white sheet of paper folded up was in Fallon’s hands as Malik exited the stage.
Fallon stopped the music and read the note out to the audience, saying: “Hey Jimmy, great to see you mate. I’m going on my first ever solo tour this autumn”.
