This is because Malik has returned to the United Kingdom to deal with stress. One Direction will however push through with their Manila and Jakarta shows without him.

"Zayn has been signed off with stress and is flying back to the UK to recuperate," Simon Jones, One Direction's publicist said Thursday. "The band wish him well and will continue with their performances in Manila and Jakarta."

The news came after photos of Malik with a girl that wasn't his fiancee emerged online and in UK tabloids.

On Wednesday, the singer took to his Twitter account to declare his love for his fiancee, Little Mix star Perrie Edwards.

"I'm 22 years old ... I love a girl named Perrie Edwards. And there's a lot of jealous [people] in this world I'm sorry for what it looks like x."

Malik reportedly hopes to return for One Direction's concert in South Africa on March 28.
