Zayn Malik<\/span> has sent fans into a frenzy as he announced his first-ever solo gig on Instagram on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The former\u00a0One Direction<\/span>\u00a0singer revealed he will be taking to the stage for his debut solo performance at Shepherd’s Bush Empire in London on May 17 – nine years after he quit the famous boy band.<\/p>\n

Zayn\u00a0revealed the exciting news ahead of the release of his fourth album, Room Under The Stairs which will also be released on May 17.<\/span><\/p>\n

The star unveiled plans for a special ‘global exclusive live event’ to celebrate his upcoming LP.<\/p>\n

Zayn will perform a selection of songs from the new record after the world premiere of the Road Back To The Mic documentary.<\/p>\n

The collection will be his first since 2021’s Nobody Is Listening, and he has suggested it will be his most personal to date.<\/p>\n

He said: ‘This is my favorite album that I’ve made to date, mainly because it comes from a place of sheer honesty and vulnerability.<\/p>\n

‘I wanted each song to feel as if it was just me sitting beside you telling you how I feel, singing directly to you.<\/p>\n

‘It\u2019s raw and stripped back and the type of music I always hoped to make.’<\/p>\n

He admitted being more introspective at the time helped inspire the direction his music has taken, and it was important for it to be released as an entire album rather than just individual tracks.<\/p>\n

He explained: ‘I think just being where I was at that time, staying away from things and living with my own thoughts inspired me to want to write something from that place.<\/p>\n

‘I\u2019ve got to put this out as a whole body of work, it\u2019s something for myself, not even just for the world.’<\/p>\n

Zayn co-produced the album with Dave Cobb – known for his work with the likes of Brandi Carlile, Jason Isbell and Chris Stapleton – and he’s delighted with the results of their collaboration.<\/p>\n
