Zayn Malik Announces His Solo Tour on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon

Malik revealed his exciting tour plans during a surprise appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

In a funny bit, Malik interrupted Fallon while he was talking. The singer came behind Fallon’s desk and started playing music from the host’s laptop, before handing him a note to read.

With that, Malik walked off the stage, leaving Fallon to share the contents of the message.

“Hey Jimmy, great to see you, mate,” Fallon read. “I’m going on my 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 U.S. and U.K.”

Tickets for The Stairway to the Sky Tour will be available for presale beginning Sept. 19. General on-sale will kick off Sept. 21.
