Zayn Malik and his family have issued a statement requesting fans to make donations to The Palestine Project instead of sending flowers, as the former One Direction star remains hospitalised with a mystery illness.
In an Instagram story, his cousin Sasha Malik expressed gratitude for the support but noted that logistical issues prevented accepting bouquets. A statement from florist The Hidden Bouquet, approved by the family, urged fans to donate the cost of a bouquet to The Palestine Project, a fundraiser supporting Islamic Relief in providing aid to Palestine amid the ongoing conflict.
The fundraiser originally aimed to raise £27,000 and has surpassed that goal with over 800 donations. Some donors left messages wishing Zayn a speedy recovery.
Zayn was forced to pull out of promotional events for his new album earlier this month and posted a photo from hospital. While details of his illness remain sparse, a source told PEOPLE he is seeing a top cardiologist.
Fans hope he will recover in time for his upcoming world tour, scheduled to begin in May 2026 in Manchester, with dates across the UK, US, and other countries, concluding in Miami in November.
