Former one direction star, ZAYN MALIK , pulled out of a major music concert by claiming to be suffering the worst anxiety of his career. His last minute withdrawal meant that 80,000 people were left distraught by his concert flop.
The sudden withdrawal looks terrible on him, especially as this is the second time he has cancelled making his debut live performance as a solo artist in the U.K. He pulled out of a pre recording of the Graham Norton show in January, in a seeming act of unprofessional-ism that reflects badly on his image.
Considering his vast experience with one direction and the accompanying fame and money he has made, he should indeed be embarrassed to let down all those fans. Anxiety and show biz don’t go together.
In a tweeter message to his fans, ZAYN wrote: ” To all those who have been waiting to see me perform at the capital summertime ball today. I flew into the UK last night to appear in my home country in front of my family, friends, and most importantly, my U.K fans.
My anxiety that’s haunted me throughout the last few months has gotten the better of me, I have suffered the worst anxiety of my career. I cannot apologize enough”.
Some have applauded the former one direction star for being honest about his anxiety, but what he deserves is criticism, not praise. MALIK had no choice but to reveal the cause of his withdrawal, but the reality is stardom and anxiety are just not compatible.
If this guy, who chose the career path of an artist can’t deal with his anxiety, he should simply pack it up. It’s not good enough to arrange a concert, allow people to purchase tickets for the show, then come out with this crap! ZAYN Maliks concert flop was a terrible let down, if it happens again, he should just pack it in.
