Former One Direction star Zayn Malik’s sister shared a touching post about her brother and his former band mate Liam Payne after he postponed more tour dates

Waliyha, Zayn Malik ‘s sister, has shared a touching post about her brother after he rescheduled a string of tour dates.

The 26-year-old reminded people to be kind in the wake of Zayn’s recent loss of former One Direction bandmate Liam Payne who tragically passed away on October 16 after falling from the third floor balcony of his hotel in Argentina. Sharing a black and white photo of Liam with his arm around Zayn and his head rested on his shoulder she added a poignant message over the top.

Waliyha wrote: “Give respect to Zayn, you don’t know what he’s going through. Today is a month since his brother has been gone.” The post comes after Zayn announced he needed to reschedule a string of dates due to “unforeseen circumstances” with an Instagram post on Thursday.

The 31-year-old musician was set to kickstart his tour in Edinburgh, Scotland on November 20 and 21, but has since rescheduled the shows. Tickets for both concerts will now be postponed for a month from now in December, although the singer did not specify why exactly he needed to switch up the dates.

The Dusk Till Dawn hitmaker wrote to his 54 million followers: “Due to unforeseen circumstances, Zayn ‘Stairway To The Sky’ Edinburgh show originally scheduled for the 20th of November has been rescheduled for 8th of December. And the Edinburgh show for the 21st of November has been rescheduled to the 9th of December.”

This comes as Zayn previously had put off his US tour dues due to the devastating loss of his close friend and former bandmate. Since his untimely passing, there have been three people arrested in his death investigation.

Zayn was originally scheduled to to kick off his tour on October 23 at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco, California, with his final US show planned for November 3 at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York. Additionally, he was slated to begin the UK leg of his tour on November 20 at the O2 Academy in Edinburgh, concluding it on December 4 at Manchester’s O2 Apollo.

Announcing the original switch-up, Zayn took to Instagram and shared: “Given the heartbreaking loss experienced this week, I’ve made the decision to postpone the US leg of the STAIRWAY TO THE SKY Tour. The dates are being rescheduled for January and I’ll post them as soon as it’s all set in the next few days. Your tickets will remain valid for the new dates. Love you all and thank you for your understanding.”

Liam’s funeral is yet to take place after his body was repatriated into the UK following an agonising three week wait for him to be released back to his family after his untimely death. His father Geoff jetted to Argentina after news broke of him passing away and remained in the country until he could jet back to the UK on the same flight as his son’s body.
