Zayn Malik has rescheduled his US tour for 2025 following the death of former One Direction bandmate Liam Payne. A post-mortem examination report said 31-year-old Payne died of multiple traumas and “internal and external haemorrhage” after falling from a third-floor balcony of the Casa Sur Hotel in the Argentine capital Buenos Aires. Police officers and the emergency services found the music star dead at the scene last week and his body was transferred to the judicial morgue.
Malik, who left One Direction in 2015 before the group went on indefinite hiatus in 2016, previously announced he was postponing the US leg of his Stairway To The Sky tour following the “heartbreaking loss” of Payne. The seven tour dates in Washington, New York, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and San Francisco have been rescheduled from January 21 until February 3 next year, Malik confirmed in a post shared on his Instagram story. It comes after Payne’s girlfriend Kate Cassidy announced that the couple had been planning to get married.
A week following the singer’s death, Cassidy said in a post on Instagram: “I don’t even know where to begin. My heart is shattered in ways I can’t put into words. “I wish you could see the huge impact you’ve had on the world, even as it feels so dark right now.
“You brought so much happiness and positivity to everyone – millions of fans, your family, friends, and especially me. “You are so incredibly loved. Zayn Malik, second right next to Payne, right,.
