Zayn Malik’s family have shared an update after the singer was hospitalised with a mystery illness to ‘seek treatment from a top cardiologist’.
Last week, the former One Direction star, 33, shared a photo of himself in hospital and has pulled out of a host of events to promote his new album.
In the first update since he revealed he was in hospital, his cousin Sasha Malik has told his fans that the family ‘truly appreciate the love’.
Writing on her Instagram Story on Wednesday: ‘We’re so grateful for everyone who has reached out to send bouquets! Logistically, it just simply can’t work…
Offering another alternative to show support, she said: ‘But we appreciate you all so much please donate anything you’d like on Zayn’s behalf to The Palestine Project!’
The post included a statement by North West based florist, The Hidden Bouquet, which had been approved by the Malik family.
It read: ‘Due to the high volume of requests for Zayn Mailk and his family, we are unfortunately no longer able to take any further orders at this time.
‘We truly appreciate the love and support show. If you would still like to make a meaningful gesture, the Malik family would greatly appreciate donations being made to the Palestine Project via the link below.

Last week, Zayn revealed he is recovering from a mystery health scare after being forced to cancel his upcoming performance.
He was set to perform in Kingston, UK on April 13 for a special One Night Only show playing new tracks from his new album KONNAKOL, but he told fans he was ‘heartbroken’ that he had to cancel.
‘Heartbroken that I can’t see you all this week, I wouldn’t be in the place I am today without you guys and am so thankful for your understanding,’ he wrote on Instagram, whilst thanking hospital staff.
An insider has now reported that Zayn is seeking further medical treatment from the ‘No. 1 cardiologist in the world.’
The source told People.com that the star has had to cancel a scheduled appearance on The Tonight Show this week as he continues to recover.
‘He’s still working through his health issues. He was supposed to appear on Fallon but isn’t able to due to doctor’s recommendations,’ explained the source.
Zayn is preparing for his biggest solo tour ever with 31 dates worldwide.

The singer will headline arenas and stadiums across North America, South America, Mexico and the UK.
It’s a milestone step for Zayn, who cancelled previous live dates due to ‘extreme anxiety’.
The tour kicks off on 12th May 2026 at Manchester’s AO Arena, with Zayn making stops in Glasgow and Birmingham before rounding off his only European shows this year with a show at London’s The O2 on Saturday 23rd May ahead of the UK Spring Bank Holiday.
Zayn will also perform dates in Los Angeles, Mexico City, São Paulo, and more before concluding on Friday 20th November in Miami, FL at Kaseya Center.
The star has also been under scrutiny this week after it was reported he punched One Direction bandmate Louis Tomlinson, 34, while filming a Netflix documentary.
Zayn and Louis had signed a multi-million pound deal to travel the US where they would discuss their lives and reflect on memories from their days in the band.
But according to The Sun, the series has been scrapped after the pair got into a physical altercation – with Zayn allegedly punching Louis in the face, resulting in the singer suffering a concussion and requiring medical treatment.
The pair have reportedly not spoken since the incident occurred six months ago.
Louis appeared to confirm his ‘feud’ with Zayn as he unfollowed his former One Direction bandmate.
Following the ‘punching’ news, Louis unfollowed Zayn on Instagram, while Zayn still has Louis as one of the 17 people he follows.
