On April 17, the same day his album KONNAKOL was released, Malik revealed he was recovering from an undisclosed illness.

He shared a photo from a hospital bed on Instagram, expressing his heartbreak over not being able to see fans that week.

He also thanked the "incredible hospital staff of Drs, nurses, cardiologist, management, admin, and everyone who has helped along the way and continue to."

However, he didn't disclose any diagnosis or reason for his hospitalization.

The Pillow Talk singer was originally set to bring his shows to North America from June to November.

However, a source told People that he is currently seeking treatment from the "No. 1 cardiologist in the world."

This has led him to step back from promoting his album, including canceling meet-and-greets and a planned late-night appearance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.
