Greta CrossZayn Malik has canceled all of the dates on the upcoming leg of his U.S. tour.
The former One Direction star, in an Instagram Story on May 1, shared that due to ongoing health concerns, he is reducing the number of shows on his upcoming Konnakol Tour, including the cancellation of all of his shows scheduled in the United States.

"I’ve been at home recovering and I’m doing well and will be better and stronger than before," Malik said in the May 1 post. "I want to make sure I still get out and see as many of you as I possibly can. I’m really looking forward to playing these shows for you, and I hope to see the rest of you around the world very soon. Big Love, Z."
