Zayn Malik has announced a week-long residency in Las Vegas in January.<\/p>\n
The former One Direction singer has only toured solo once since leaving the band, on last year’s Stairway to the Sky shows.<\/p>\n
Posting on Instagram, the artist announced he would be performing at the Dolby Live venue at the Park MGM Hotel. <\/p>\n
Other artists, including Adele, Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga have all done residencies in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Although Zayn’s residency is shorter, fans have been posting online suggesting that it is a sign of a bigger comeback.<\/p>\n
Zayn originally from Bradford, England, caused another stir with the fanbase recently when he was spotted in the US with former band mate Louis Tomlinson.<\/p>\n
Fans launched into a frenzy of speculation, predicting a collab or new music from the pair.<\/p>\n
It is believed to be the only time the two had been spotted together in public in a casual setting since One Direction’s hiatus in 2015. <\/p>\n
The only other occasion was at former bandmate Liam Payne’s funeral last year.<\/p>\n
This week, Zayn, 32, also released a new song – Break Free<\/a> – to tie in with the release of video game Borderlands 4.<\/p>\n A self-proclaimed lifelong gamer, Zayn told US entertainment magazine Variety <\/a>when he’s not working or with his daughter his “usual place is in front of the console, gaming with my friends back home in the UK”. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n The residency announcement took some fans by surprise, as Zayn has been open about his struggles with live performances in the past.<\/p>\n
