Zayn Malik QUITS One Direction Tour

Zayn Malik has sensationally quit the One Direction tour due to stress.

The One Direction band member pulled out of a commercial recording in Hong Kong today so he could fly back to the UK to be with his family.

A spokesperson for the band said: "Zayn has been signed off with stress and is flying back to the UK to recuperate. The band wish him well and will continue with their performances in Manila and Jakarta."

While a source told The Sun: “Zayn finds it tougher than the rest of his band-mates dealing with fame. Having his every movement scrutinised causes great anxiety and the pictures which surfaced with the fan yesterday was the final straw.

 “He did nothing wrong but the amount of criticism he received was simply too much. He needs to get away."
