The floppy-haired heartthrob left the stage before the end of the gig in Perth, Australia and fans have been sending messages of support
Zayn Malik has whipped Directioners into a frenzy after leaving the stage before the end of a gig in Perth, Australia.
The floppy-haired One Direction heartthrob failed to finish the entire set, according to fans in the audience on Twitter.
Reps for the star said it was "nothing serious" and it was hoped he would be well enough for their next show.
One fan said: "he went off stage. N didnt come back. Niall announced that he's ill."
Another said: "Zayn is ill but still managed to perform many songs before he had to leave the stage. #GetWellSoonZayn"
Another fan added: @zaynmalik He disappeared at the concert and then niall said he wouldn't be back bc he's #ill"
The hashtag #GetWellSoonZayn has been trending ever since.
A rep for the star said: "Zayn was taken ill during the show but it's nothing serious.
"He wasn't feeling that great beforehand but he tried to get through the performance as well as he could.
"Everyone is hoping he’ll be well enough for their next gig."
It comes after fans were distraught on Thursday after hearing that Zayn and fellow Story of my Life hitmaker Louis Tomlinson were stuck on Hamilton Island as terrifying Cyclone Marcia headed their way.

It's thought the boybanders managed to safely board a flight to mainland Australia in the early afternoon, after spending the night riding out the storm.
@zaynmalik My heart beats starts accelerating when I heard you are ill, wish I could somehow take care of you! :(
