“To my fans – Thank you to all of you for your love & support now & always- been a long week and am still unexpectedly recovering,” he captioned the photo. “Heartbroken that I can’t see you all this week, I wouldn’t be in the place I am today without you guys and am so thankful for your understanding.

On Monday, People reported that Malik had pulled out of upcoming promotional appearances surrounding his new album, Konnakol, as he continues to recover.

Earlier this month, he was booked as a guest on Tuesday’s edition of The Tonight Show. But updated listings for Tuesday’s episode show that he’s no longer scheduled to appear.

Tuesday’s guests were originally planned to include Malik as the night’s musical guest, along with Nikki Glaser and Ella Stiller. The updated listing now features Glaser, Stiller, Jesse Tyler Ferguson and comedian Isabel Hagen as the night’s scheduled guests.

Sources also suggested to People that Malik will be pulling out of other planned promotional appearances, including fan meet-and-greets. 

It’s still unclear what Malik is being treated for but People cited a source saying the former One Direction singer is seeking medical treatment from the “No. 1 cardiologist in the world.” 

The Hollywood Reporter has reached out to a rep for Malik for comment.
