Zayn Malik has paid tribute to his former One Direction bandmate Liam Payne at his show in Leeds on Saturday night, with a sign which read: “Love you bro”.<\/p>\n

The message<\/a>, which has been widely shared on social media, also had Payne’s name and the year he was born and died.<\/p>\n

Malik’s tour was meant to begin in Edinburgh earlier this week. However, he rescheduled two of his shows in the city, citing “unforeseen circumstances”.<\/p>\n

The singer also previously postponed his US tour, after what he called the “heartbreaking loss” of Payne.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Payne died, aged 31, after falling from the third floor of hotel balcony in Argentina last month.<\/p>\n

Family, friends and former bandmates remembered him at his funeral in Amersham in Buckinghamshire on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan and Malik were among the mourners<\/a>, alongside Payne’s girlfriend Kate Cassidy and his former partner Cheryl, with whom he shares a son.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

At the O2 Academy Leeds, Malik played a string of his hits including Pillowtalk and My Woman.<\/p>\n

Many had expected he might pay tribute to Payne during the show. In the end, he did so right at the end, with a message that was accompanied by a pink heart.<\/p>\n

It came after Malik announced last week that he was rescheduling two of his Edinburgh shows.<\/p>\n

In an Instagram story, he said that the show originally scheduled for 20 November at the O2 Academy Edinburgh venue had been rescheduled for 8 December.<\/p>\n

A further date on 21 November at the same venue has been moved to 9 December.<\/p>\n

“All tickets for the original show dates will be honoured on the rescheduled dates,” the post added.<\/p>\n

In October, he made the decision to postpone his US shows, telling fans: “Given the heartbreaking loss experienced this week, I’ve made the decision to postpone the US leg of the Stairway to the Sky Tour.”<\/p>\n

The US part of Malik’s tour was due to start in San Francisco, before visiting Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Washington DC and New York.<\/p>\n

He has told fans on X the dates would be rescheduled for January and the tickets will remain valid for the new dates.<\/p>\n

“Love you all and thank you for your understanding,” he added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Payne and Malik rose to global fame as part of the boyband One Direction – created on The X Factor TV show in 2010 – and sang together with bandmates Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, and Niall Horan.<\/p>\n

Malik left the group in 2015 to embark on a solo singing career, and the band later split in 2016.<\/p>\n

After Payne’s death, his One Direction bandmates posted a series of poignant and heartfelt tributes to their “brother”, who they remembered as “the most vital part” of the group.<\/p>\n

“I loved and respected you dearly. I will cherish all the memories I have with you in my heart forever, there is no words that justify or explain how I feel right now other than beyond devastated,” Malik wrote.<\/p>\n

“I hope that wherever you are right now you are good and are at peace and you know how loved you are.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
