Any fans who were hoping to catch Zayn Malik perform songs from his debut solo album Mind Of Mine, will have to wait patiently for the foreseeable future.

The former One Direction star is apparently still battling with panic attacks and anxiety, preventing him from performing live. He cancelled - what was to be his debut show this summer - because he dreads the idea of touring and singing in front of crowds.

The Daily Star reports that a source close to the singer admitted that "Zayn is still really struggling with his anxiety."

“Even a one-off TV appearance is unlikely at the moment. Zayn has been working hard to get control of his fears and obviously wants to perform live. But at the same time he doesn’t want to let anyone down by announcing dates and then cancelling them.

“He’s feeling a lot of pressure to perform and feels much more comfortable in the studio.”
