Zayn took to instagram stories and wrote: “I’m heartbroken to say that I won’t be able to perform tonight in Mexico City. I’ve been really sick since this morning and, despite trying everything to push through, my body just isn’t allowing it. I’m so sorry to let you down. The love and energy I always feel from my fans mean the world to me, and it hurts deeply to miss this moment with you. Thank you for your understanding, and please know I’m sending all of my love to each of you.”

A statement which he later followed with: “Mexico, I love you even though myself and many of my crew got severe food poisoning. It’s no joke – still struggling. I’m so sorry. These shows have made me feel alive, happy, grateful and at home and that’s all because of you. These shows, your energy, your fan projects … filled me with so much love and with a feeling I can’t even describe. Big Love.”

The boyband member previously postponed some of the US leg of his tour following the sudden death of fellow band member Liam Payne in October 2024. Zayn is known to be paying homage to Liam at the end of every single one of his shows, a memory to their time together in the world’s most famous boyband One Direction.

Earlier this month, the singer surprised his fans by singing a rendition of one of the band’s greatest hits ‘Night Changes’, his first time performing the tune in over a decade.

Zayn and his team have yet to reschedule the Mexico gig.

The teaser offered above is in the form of an instrumental with some toned-down bass riff and a fragment of vocals but with no discernible lyrics, leaving us all in wonder. Frontman Caleb Followill announced the new track towards the end of the set, and this will mark their first new music since their 2021 LP When You See Yourself.  The band who are currently on tour in Mexico, Columbia, and Brazil this March and tickets are available at Songkick.

Kings Of Leon is a band that was formed in Nashville, Tennessee, in 1999. The band comprises brothers Caleb, Nathan and Jared Followill and their cousin Matthew Followill. Their early music was a blend of Southern/Garage rock with blues influences but has since evolved to include a variety of genres, creating a more alternative rock-based sound. They achieved success with nine Top Forty Singles and won two Brit Awards in 2008, and all three of the band’s albums, at the time, reached the top five of the UK Album Charts. And their third album, Because of the Times, reached number one. The release of Only by the Night in September of 2008 garnered them chart success in the United States, and the singles Sex on Fire, Use Somebody, and Notion all peaked at number one on the Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart.

The new track Mustang will be released this Thursday. So if you are looking to use somebody to cheer you up, then tune in on Thursday to check out the new music. At this point, one can only speculate, but there is always they hope that a new album will follow along with, hopefully, a UK or European tour.
