Zayn Malik thrilled fans by announcing his first solo tour in almost 10 years since leaving One Direction. The *Dusk Till Dawn* singer made a surprise appearance on *The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon* on Tuesday, September 17, crashing the host’s monologue to reveal his upcoming *Stairway to the Sky* tour.
Without saying a word, the 31-year-old casually played his music on Fallon’s laptop, showed off some dance moves, and left a note for the host. Fallon read it aloud, revealing that Malik’s debut solo tour would kick off this autumn, covering the U.S. and U.K.
Fans were quick to notice that Malik was channeling his classic One Direction look, with many commenting on social media about how his appearance reminded them of his boy band days. The announcement sparked excitement online, with fans flooding the internet with comments like, “TOUR OMFG THIS IS NOT A DRILL.”
Malik’s wordless, vibe-heavy announcement mirrored his earlier move in March, when he revealed his fourth studio album *Room Under the Stairs* in a similar fashion.
