Zayn Malik Rings in 10 Years of One Direction Exit With Night Changes Tribute in Mexico: ‘Almost Cried at One…’

by

Fans were thrilled when Zayn Malik unexpectedly performed “Night Changes,” a popular tune from his previous group One Direction, during his debut at a packed arena on March 25th as part of his Stairway to the Sky tour in Mexico. It was a special tribute for this occasion.

The curtains were drawn back to unveil Malik positioned centrally on the stage in front of a microphone that was already standing. The melody of Night Changes began to play, causing excitement among the fans. As soon as he uttered the initial lyric, the crowd erupted into cheers and thunderous applause.

The crowd enthusiastically joined in, harmonizing with the well-known One Direction track. Malik’s performance was particularly touching, as it coincided with the 10th anniversary of his departure from the band, which consisted of Harry Styles, Niall Horan, and the late Liam Payne.

Last year, he passed away at age 31 following a tragic fall from a hotel balcony in Argentina. The singer of Pillowtalk confessed to the audience that it was the first time he had sung that particular song in a decade. He shared his feelings were intensely emotional as he performed it.

Malik expressed his gratitude by saying, “That was absolutely astonishing! At one moment I felt close to tears. Incredible doesn’t even begin to describe it.” He made this statement in reference to something that recently occurred. Four months ago, they reunited at Payne’s funeral following his untimely passing, and a month has passed since then.

In a moving post, I, Malik, expressed my profound sorrow and paid tribute to a dear friend whom I’ve lost. This extraordinary individual, a talented singer, was more than just a colleague; he stood by me during some of my toughest moments in life. I can’t help but feel grateful for the time we shared together.

In his tribute, the musician expressed that when you departed, it felt like I lost a brother. There’s no way for me to put into words what I would give for one final hug and a proper goodbye, as well as to tell you how deeply I loved and respected you.

He vowed to cherish their memories deeply within him, eternally, making his tribute to One Direction even more meaningful, heartfelt, and therapeutic, not just for himself, but for fellow fans as well.
