The former One Direction singer revealed he will take to the stage for his debut solo performance at Shepherd’s Bush Empire in London on May 17 – nine years after he left the famous boy band.

Zayn revealed the exciting news ahead of the release of his fourth album, Room Under The Stairs, which will also be released on May 17.

The star revealed plans for a special ‘global exclusive live event’ to celebrate his upcoming LP.

After the world premiere of the documentary Road Back To The Mic, Zayn will perform a selection of songs from the new album.

The collection will be his first since 2021’s Nobody Is Listening, and he has suggested it will be his most personal yet.

He said: ‘This is my favorite album I’ve made so far, mainly because it comes from pure honesty and vulnerability.

“I wanted each song to feel like I was the only one sitting next to you, telling you how I feel, singing directly to you.

“It’s raw and stripped and the kind of music I always hoped to make.”

He admitted that his more introspective nature at the time contributed to the direction his music took, and it was important that it was released as a whole album rather than just individual songs.

He explained, “I think being in that moment, staying away from things and living with my own thoughts, inspired me to want to write something from that place.

“I have to release this as a whole, it’s something for myself, not even just for the world.”

Zayn co-produced the album with Dave Cobb – known for his work with Brandi Carlile, Jason Isbell and Chris Stapleton – and he is pleased with the results of their collaboration.

He added: “Working with Dave Cobb was a great experience. The way he has taken the music to the next level is second to none, and he has done a fantastic job helping me make this record.”

Fans went crazy over Zayn’s return to live shows, with many ‘congratulating’ the star, while others said they were ‘crying’ over the news.

They wrote: ‘I’m excited and extremely proud, this is literally the best year ever; Wow, I can’t believe it; OMGGGGG Crying; THIS IS HEAVEN, I SWEAR; ZAYN IS BACK!!”

‘Seeing you so happy and appearing on stage again made me prouder than I already am you deserve it; Congratulations Zayn; So proud of Zayn; It’s happening, it’s FINALLY happening;
