Zayn Malik has reportedly withdrawn from a scheduled appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon as he continues to recover from a recent hospitalisation and apparently seeks specialist medical care.

The 33-year-old singer had been due to appear on the programme hosted by Jimmy on Tuesday (21.04.26) to promote his forthcoming fifth studio album Konnakol.

But he "isn't able to due to doctor's recommendations", according to a source cited by People.

The same insider said: "He's still working through his health issues."

Zayn was reportedly planning to consult what was described as the "No. 1 cardiologist in the world", following an unexpected hospital stay last week.

A representative for the singer did not respond to a request for comment from Page Six.

Zayn addressed fans directly on social media following his hospitalisation.

He said online: "To my fans - thank you to all of you for your love and support now and always - been a long week and am still unexpectedly recovering."

He added: "Heartbroken that I can't see you all this week, I wouldn't be in the place I am today without you guys and am so thankful for your understanding."

Zayn also thanked hospital staff, including nurses and cardiologists, saying: "You are all legends. Big big love xx z."

The nature of the performer's condition remains unclear, as he has not disclosed further details about his hospital treatment.

The cancellation of the Jimmy Fallon television appearance follows a disrupted promotional schedule, which had also included a planned event at the Rough Trade Below store in New York City on Monday.

Zayn is expected to begin a tour in May at the AO Arena in Manchester, with dates scheduled through to November, concluding in Miami.

The singer has been promoting both the album and tour through social media in recent weeks.

Zayn has a daughter, Khai, five, with model Gigi Hadid and his most recent tour, the Stairway to the Sky shows, stretched from November 2024 to March 2025.

During that period, his former One Direction bandmate Liam Payne died at the age of 31.

Zayn temporarily paused the tour before returning to the stage, where he paid tribute to the singer.
