Zayn Malik, 31, made his return to the stage at Leeds O2 Academy as part of his Stairway To The Sky tour on Saturday.
During the emotional performance, he paid tribute to his former One Direction bandmate Liam Payne.
The concert came just days after Malik and other One Direction members were seen together for the first time in nine years at Payne’s funeral on Wednesday.
Payne had passed away on October 16 after an accident at a hotel in Argentina.
During the show, Malik told the audience, “It’s good to be back up North.”
He performed his hit song “Pillow Talk” live for the first time, telling fans: “This might be a pretty decent moment for you all, this is the first time I’ve ever sang this song live… this song is called ‘Pillow Talk.'”
After his performance, a backdrop appeared with the message “Liam Payne 1993-2024. Love you bro” alongside a red heart, honoring his former bandmate’s memory.
