Zayn Malik cried during his last ever performance with One Direction and could not manage to bring a single smile on his face during the entire performance, various new reports say. The 22-year-old, who has now quit One Direction, gave his last ever performance as a band member in Honk Kong during the band's “On The Road Again” tour. In the video, which can be seen below, Zayn looked emotional and had tears in his eyes during the last performance with his band mates.

The video clip see Zayn singing the One Direction song "Through The Dark." The lyrics of the song are quite emotional too. “But don't burn out even if you scream and shout/It'll come back to you and I'll be here for you,” crooned Zayn on stage. It is not sure if Zayn was crying because he was singing an emotional song or was it because he was aware of the fact that this would be his last performance with his bandmates. Zayn “struggled to smile even once,” said the reviewer who went to see the concert, according to South China Morning Post.

The singer was due to perform with his group in Jakarta, Indonesia, next but he went to Britain mid-way owing to “stress.” What followed next was the announcement of Zayn's exit from the band. “I’d like to apologise to the fans if I’ve let anyone down, but I have to do what feels right in my heart,” the singer said in a statement. He also added that he is leaving because he wants to be like a “normal 22-year-old who is able to relax and have some private time out of the spotlight.”

Zayn's other bandmates performed without him in Jakarta and missed him. Harry Styles could not control his tears while Louis Tomlinson was seen putting his arm around an imaginary Zayn during the concert. The four-members said that they are “really sad to see Zayn go,” but at the same time they also understood and “respect his decision.” Harry, Louis, Liam Payne and Niall Horan said in a statement that they had the best five years together and will “always be friends.”
