Zayn Malik Reminisces About Rescuing Harry Styles From A 'Dangerous' Mishap At One Direction Concert
Zyan Malik shares a gripping anecdote from their One Direction days, recalling how he rescued Harry Styles from a pyrotechnic mishap during a concert.
Zyan Malik, during his Thursday appearance on Hot Ones, recalled an incident involving his former bandmate, Harry Styles, and how he saved the Watermelon Sugar singer from running into the flames.
“There’s actually footage of it, and it's actually amazing because it makes me look great,” Malik quipped before launching into the story of the 2013 incident.

“On stage, Harry was right next to the pyro, and the pyro was about to go off because they were on timers. He had a towel over his head, and he had his head over the pyro and he didn't see that the pyro was there. So you see me run from one side of the stage and just push him out of the way, and the pyro kind of explodes in front of his face. That was really dangerous,” Malik proudly recounted his heroic feat.
Providing more One Direction crumbs for the ever-starving Directoners, Zyan Malik also recalled how the cult favorite band had a go-to song in case of any technical emergencies. 
“The whole rig would just go off sometimes in our early gigs. We would have a power outage, and there was no microphones, so we would just put our microphones down, and we would just burst into the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air acapella and just do the whole performance of that until the microphones were working again,” the Pillowtalk singer fondly reminisced. “I hope it entertained people. Funny times.”
Zayn recently announced his fourth solo album, titled Room Under the Stairs, which will be released on May 17. And, amid the announcement of his comeback, we thought it would be nice to have a quick glance at the solo endeavors of other 1D members since the band's disbandment. Keep scrolling!
