Former One Direction star Zayn Malik has cancelled another concert because of anxiety about performing solo.
Malik had been due to play at the Autism Rocks event in Dubai on October 7 but said he was not confident enough to take to the stage.
"I have been working over the last three months to overcome my extreme anxiety around major live solo performances," he said in a message to fans.
"I feel I am making progress but I have today acknowledged that I do not feel sufficiently confident to move forward with the planned show in Dubai in October. I am assured that all tickets will be refunded."
Malik concluded by saying he was "truly sorry" to disappoint fans and hoped to see them on tour soon.
The 23-year-old released his acclaimed debut solo album, Mind of Mine, in March.
In June, he pulled out of his scheduled appearance at the Capital Summertime Ball in London, citing anxiety as the reason.
Having suffered from stress during One Direction's 2015 world tour, Malik left the boyband in March of that year, saying that he wanted to be "a normal 22-year-old who is able to relax and have some private time out of the spotlight".
