How Zayn Malik made his money
One Direction
Malik auditioned for The X Factor in 2010 at the age of 17. The judges grouped him with Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson to form One Direction, which finished third and then signed with Syco Records.
The band became one of the biggest acts of the decade. Its albums Up All Night (2011), Take Me Home (2012), Midnight Memories (2013) and Four (2014) charted around the world, and Pollstar calculated that its four tours grossed more than $628 million in total.
Malik left the group in March 2015. Its 2014 Where We Are tour alone grossed $282.2 million from more than 3.4 million fans, according to Pollstar.
Solo career
Malik signed with RCA Records in July 2015. His debut single “Pillowtalk” went to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in early 2016, and his first album, Mind of Mine, debuted at No. 1 on both the Billboard 200 and the UK Albums Chart.
His duet with Taylor Swift, “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever”, reached No. 2 in the US. He followed with Icarus Falls (2018) and Nobody Is Listening (2021), then moved to Mercury Records in 2023. His fourth album, Room Under the Stairs (2024), reached No. 3 in the UK.

On 1 May 2026, 23 dates were cancelled, including all 20 US shows and three dates in Dublin, Glasgow and Birmingham. Health was given as the reason for the Dublin cancellation.
The remaining shows went ahead, with dates at The O2 in London, Manchester, three venues in Mexico and four South American cities. The final show was scheduled for Lima on 14 October 2026.
