Zayn Malik wipes his Instagram to tease music comeback

Zayn Malik sent fans into meltdown as he wiped his Instagram to tease an eight second video for his new music on Tuesday. 

The singer, 30, hinted his return to the scene, two years on from his last release.

Zayn has signed a new record deal with Mercury Records and a single is going to be released ‘very soon’ as a pre-save link for his new music appeared on his page. 

The video showed the 1D hitmaker sitting on a motorbike revving the engine before he slammed the visor on his helmet down. 

Fans took to the comment section to share their excitement. One wrote: ‘New music from Zayn oh my god’.

Another added: ‘It’s happening’, while a third follower typed: ‘I can’t breathe’ . 

The new music will be a big departure from his previous hits Pillowtalk and I Don’t Wanna Live Forever, according to sources. 

Zayn was previously signed to RCA Records but is now with Mercury Records, who also have Post Malone and Republic in their roster. 

Label president Tyler Arnold told Billboard: ‘As soon as ZAYN and I met, I knew we had to work together.

‘I was blown away by the new music, but just as impressed by his vision, drive and spirit. 

‘We’re honoured he and his team have joined us at Mercury Records. We’ve got an incredible opportunity to tell the next chapter of his story together.’

It comes as Selena Gomez went on an unfriending spree on Instagram this weekend.

Among those that didn’t make the cut is her rumoured boyfriend Zayn which may be a signal that their reported romance has come to an end.

‘It seemed like they were comfortable together and it was clear that it was a date.’
