Former One Direction star Zayn Malik has thanked his fans for their support as he shared an image of himself in hospital.<\/p>\n

The solo artist is due to embark on a worldwide tour, which will see him perform at Dublin’s 3Arena on 14 May.<\/p>\n

He is also due to perform in New York City on Monday, according to his website.<\/p>\n

Malik, who quit One Direction in 2015, did not disclose what was wrong with him – but the photo on his Instagram stories showed him lying in a bed in a hospital gown, hooked up to various machines and monitors.<\/p>\n

He wrote: “To my fans. Thank you to all of you for your love and support now and always – been a long week and am still unexpectedly recovering.<\/p>\n

“Heartbroken that I can’t see you all this week, I wouldn’t be in the place I am today without you guys and am so thankful for your understanding.”<\/p>\n

He thanked all the “incredible hospital staff” who had looked after him, including doctors, nurses, and cardiologists.<\/p>\n

The singer added: “You are all legends! Big big love.”<\/p>\n

Malik’s message came on the same day that he released his fifth solo album, Konnakol.<\/p>\n
