Despite dropping four studio albums as a solo artist since leaving One Direction in 2015, Zayn Malik has never actually been on tour, but that's all about to change!
That's right, get prepping for those ticket queues, because Zayn has gate crashed The Jimmy Fallon Show over in America to announce he's embarking on a tour across the US and UK, this Autumn!
Appearing next to Jimmy Fallon during the live show, Zayn plays a snippet of his music on his laptop, before handing the host a note which reads: 'Hey Jimmy, great to see you mate. I'm going on me first-ever solo tour this autumn so maybe when you're done picking apples with your buds, you can come check out my Stairway To The Sky Tour across the US and UK. I'm making an official announcement tomorrow morning, let me know what date you want tickets for'. (sic)
