Zayn Malik needs our support! First, Zayn shocked the world yesterday when he left One Directions’ On The Road Again tour to head home to England. A 1D rep confirmed Zayn was experiencing a severe amount of stress, and he needed to be home with his family for a couple of days. Now, there is concern that his break might actually be a longer, more permanent move, and One Direction fans are freaking out — naturally!
This all started when the internet blew up with rumors (and a picture allegedly showing) that Zayn cheated on his fiancé, Little Mix’s Perrie Edwards, while on tour. The rumors caused Zayn, who’s a famously private person — especially when it comes to his relationship with Perrie — to speak out on Twitter. “I love a girl named Perrie Edwards,” he exclaimed. The stress of the situation became too much, and Zayn left the tour.
This isn’t the first time Zayn has struggled with being in the public eye. “Zayn is a very artistic person,” a source told E! Online today. “He’s passionate and sensitive, and he can be quite shy. Being on tour can be hard. And being under the spotlight can be difficult. When you are on the road, it can be hard to turn it off. He is very close to his mom. It’s good that he is able to take a breather. Ultimately, he is a really lovely guy.”
So cheating rumors or not, it’s clear that something is very wrong in Zayn’s world, and we only want the best for him right now. The last thing we’d EVER want is for him to leave One Direction for good!
