Heart Breaking News: Liam Payne Father (Geoff Payne) put to rest at the age of 66.

The post comes after the singer 31, took to his Instagram on Thursday to reveal that his gigs set to take place next week in Edinburgh, had been rescheduled due to ‘unforeseen circumstances’.

Zayn had been due to kick off his first ever solo tour in San Francisco on October 23, but he also postponed those dates to January in the wake of the tragic death of his former One Direction bandmate Liam Payne

The Edinburgh dates would’ve therefore have been the first shows of the tour, but now they’ve been moved to December the tour will officially begin in Leeds on November 23.

Sharing a poster of the new dates through his tour management’s socials, an accompanying statement read: ‘Due to unforeseen circumstances Zayn Stairway To The Sky Edinburgh show original scheduled for November 20 has been rescheduled for December 8.

‘A further date on November 21 at the same O2 Academy Edinburgh venue has been moved to December 9. All tickets for the original show dates will be honoured on the rescheduled dates.

The UK leg will see him do gigs in Leeds, Manchester, London, Wolverhampton and Newcastle, before the rescheduled Edinburgh dates.

He will be performing hits from his new album, Room Under the Stairs, which he wrote over the past six years in rural Pennsylvania and released in May this year, where it debuted at number three on the UK Albums Chart.

A US music producer working with Zayn previously told the Daily Mail that the singer is ‘in absolute bits’ over Liam’s sudden passing.

They added that his loved ones ‘don’t want him to be alone’ at the moment, so are making sure he is ‘surrounded by his friends.’
