Zayn Malik took a jab at his former One Direction colleague Harry Styles during his performance in Las Vegas. The singer, who left the band in 2015, playfully teased Harry about the success of his recent tour ticket sales, delighting the audience.
Harry’s upcoming world tour, named Together, Together, witnessed a surge in ticket purchases during pre-sales this week, with some ticket packages exceeding £700, much to the dismay of certain fans. The ticket prices range between £44.10 and £466.25, with an additional handling fee per order of £2.95. In a gesture of goodwill, Harry announced that £1 from each ticket sale would be contributed to LIVE Trust to support grassroots music initiatives in the UK.
During his Las Vegas show at Dolby Live at Park MGM, Zayn playfully commented on the ticket prices, drawing a mix of gasps and applause from the crowd. He expressed gratitude to the audience and slyly remarked about the ticket costs before continuing his performance.
Zayn’s lighthearted dig at Harry comes amid reports of Harry’s upcoming appearance at the BRIT Awards. Additionally, Harry’s tour at Wembley Stadium has garnered significant attention, with him set to break records for the most nights performed by a solo artist at the venue.
The relationship dynamics within One Direction have been complex, with Zayn admitting to strained relationships with his former bandmates. While he has maintained contact with Liam, Louis, and Niall, tensions have been evident, particularly with Harry. Despite past disagreements, Zayn and Louis have since reconciled, highlighting a mature approach to resolving conflicts within the group.
As Zayn playfully pokes fun at Harry, the music industry eagerly anticipates the unfolding dynamics between former bandmates and their individual successes.
