Zayn Malik's solo tour is making headlines for both the heartfelt tribute to his late bandmate Liam Payne and his groundbreaking decision to assemble an all-female backing band. The former One Direction star's concerts are filled with emotional moments, as he performs a special rendition of 'Stardust' in memory of Payne. But it's his band of talented women that has truly captured the attention of fans worldwide.
Zayn Malik took a well-deserved break after his New York City concert. The former One Direction star, 32, was spotted enjoying a cigarette after his second show in Manhattan as part of his Stairway to the Sky tour. Dressed in a red plaid shirt and tan pants, Zayn was seen exiting an SUV following his performance at the Hammerstein Ballroom. This tour marks his first ever solo venture, supporting his album, Room Under the Stairs.
The concerts come on the heels of the tragic passing of his One Direction bandmate, Liam Payne. Throughout his U.S. tour, Zayn, who shares a four-year-old daughter, Khai, with his ex-partner Gigi Hadid, has been paying tribute to his late friend by performing a heartfelt rendition of his song, Stardust, at the end of each set. The song's chorus takes on a particularly poignant meaning in light of Payne's death: 'Feels like stardust / Fallin' all around us /Funny how it found us.' Beyond the emotional resonance of the tribute, Zayn's tour has garnered attention for another remarkable aspect: his entirely female backing band. This talented group of seven women has become something of a sensation, going viral on social media. They include guitarist Molly Miller, the drummer known as Baby Bulldog, singers Lisa Ramey, Tahira Clayton, and Rebecca Haviland, keyboard player Tina Hizon, and bassist Ryan Madora. Lisa recently shared pictures of the band on Instagram, captioned simply, 'The ladies say hello.' Zayn has also posted pictures of the group, starting with one taken in May before the tour began.Fans have been effusive in their praise for Zayn's decision to assemble an all-female band. Social media platforms are flooded with messages of support, with many expressing admiration for his choice and celebrating the women in his band. One fan commented, 'Zayn’s all girl band is the hottest thing he could’ve done.' Another wrote, 'Zayn really said 'NO MEN IN MY BAND' i feel u z, women are always better, i love u for that.' The sentiment of empowerment and acknowledgment of female talent is clear throughout the online discourse.In a recent statement, Zayn addressed the cancellation of a show in Newcastle, explaining that his voice had failed him. He offered his sincere apologies to the fans, expressing his regret for the last-minute cancellation. This incident further highlights Zayn's dedication to his fans and his commitment to delivering the best possible performance
