ZAYN has treated fans to a surprise expansion of his fifth album KONNAKOL, dropping a deluxe edition that adds three brand-new songs to the project just weeks after its original release.
The extended drop includes Daydreamin’, Bad for You and Raise the Dead – giving listeners a deeper dive into the world he’s been building across the KONNAKOL era.
The bonus material marks the first new music since the album’s launch last month.
ZAYN is also offering fans the chance to get their hands on a limited-edition 7-inch vinyl of the single Die For Me.
The deluxe edition arrives the day before ZAYN kicks off The KONNAKOL Tour on May 23 in London, marking his first major run in years. The tour will stretch across the UK before heading overseas to Mexico City, São Paulo, Buenos Aires and beyond.
ZAYN was forced to rethink the schedule for the tour after he was hospitalised.
Sharing an update on Instagram, he said: “To my fans: Thank you so much for all the support and love you’ve shown me on the album release and more importantly your love, prayers, and well wishes for my health. I’ve felt it, and it’s meant the world. I’ve been at home recovering and I’m doing well and will be better and stronger than before.”
The 33-year-old singer explained that his health concerns meant he had no choice but to reduce the number of shows in the coming months.
He said: “I’ve had to take another look at my schedule for the months ahead and have to reduce the number of shows on the KONNAKOL Tour. I want to make sure I still get out and see as many of you as I possibly can. I’m really looking forward to playing these shows for you, and I hope to see the rest of you around the world very soon. Big Love, Z.”
The announcement followed an earlier scare when the singer revealed he had been admitted to hospital with an unspecified condition, prompting him to cancel a number of fan events tied to the release of KONNAKOL.
Posting a photo from his hospital bed at the time, he told fans: “To my fans – thank you to all of you for your love and support now and always – been a long week and am still unexpectedly recovering.
“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.”
He also praised the medical team who cared for him during his stay.
Zayn said: “Thank you to the incredible hospital staff of Drs, nurses, cardiologist, management, admin and everyone who has helped along the way and continue to. You are all legends! Big big love xx z.”
