ZAYN Malik has broken his silence after leaving fans devastated by cancelling a sell-out gig just minutes before he was due to take to the stage. The Former One Direction star was due to perform at a packed-out O2 City Hall in Newcastle on Tuesday night. Fans were eagerly waiting for the Stairway to the Sky set to get underway when it was announced on the tannoy the show had been cancelled. A spokesperson speaking from the stage said the show would not be going ahead. They said: "We apologise for the late notice. It was his fervent hope that he would be able to continue with the show. This is no longer possible. "Please contact your point of purchase for details of reschedules and refunds. If you have parents or guardians collecting you please stay within the auditorium and wait to be collected." Taking to Instagram, the 31-year-old singer wrote an explanation on his stories: He wrote: "I'm so sorry to do this but my voice just isn't there at all tonight and without it, there's no show. "I'm truly sorry to let you down, especially at such short notice...I held onto hope until the very last moment. "I'm hopeful with some rest tonight I'll be back on stage tomorrow. "My deepest apologies Newcastle love you all xx." Devastated fans were seen streaming out of the O2 City Hall in floods of tears. Courtni Clarke, 19, had queued for 36 hours to make sure she got to the front of the standing section to get as close as possible to her favourite singer. But, despite the tears on her face, the bar worker from Leeds says that she is only concerned about Zayn's health . She said: "I hope he's ok. One of the security guards told us they don't even know if he made it here. "It's a disappointment but also a worry. I'm a very, very big fan of Zayn. We got no information of what happened." Clarke and other fans spoke about how they paid £150 for tickets plus additional costs for travel to get to the venue. She called the last-minute cancellation a "deep wound" after seeing the other members of One Direction singing on their solo tours and now no longer being able to see Liam sing live. Kitty Heidt, 20, a law student at Durham University arrived at 7pm to get into the venue. "We were very excited to get in," she said. "If he didn't show up, they should have told us. We waited an hour inside anything before it was cancelled." "It's a waste of time. I'm upset and disappointed," another fan said. Others defended the singer saying, "A lot of fans care more about them seeing him than his well being. "I'm happy to miss it as long as he's okay." Zayn is set to wrap up his tour in Edinburgh in just a few days. The US leg of the tour was postponed after the death of Zayn's former bandmate Liam Payne and he has paid tribute to him at shows in Manchester and Leeds. Liam tragically died on October 16 after falling from a balcony at his hotel in Argentina.SAN FRANCISCO — Jonathan Kuminga had 34 points and made the go-ahead free throw in the Golden State Warriors' 109-105 win over the Phoenix Suns on Saturday.

Royce O’Neale also left the game in the second quarter with a left ankle sprain. Warriors guard Brandin Podziemski (lower abdominal strain) did not play in the second half.

Travis Head will play in the Boxing Day Test, proving his fitness in a Christmas morning fitness test at the MCG. Australia’s most important player ran some sprints on the ground and then batted in the nets during an optional training session on Wednesday, a day out from the fourth Test against India. The home side was sweating on Head’s availability because of a quad strain, with the star left-hander hurt on the last day of the third Test at the Gabba. That result left the series tied at one-all. “Travis is good to go, he’ll play. He ticked off some final things today and yesterday, but no stress, no worries about injury for Trav,” Australia captain Pat Cummins said after training. “He’ll go into the game fully fit. I don’t think you’ll see too much management of him throughout the game ... maybe around fielding if he’s a bit uncomfortable.” Had Head been sidelined, it would have been a gigantic blow to Australia’s hopes of regaining the Border-Gavaskar trophy. The 30-year-old has been in rare form, smashing centuries in Adelaide and Brisbane to certify himself as India’s most in-demand wicket. Head has made 409 runs at an average of 81.80 across the first three Tests of the series, dominating India even as the rest of Australia’s batters have faced significant issues against Jasprit Bumrah. It would be a massive risk to take a proppy player into a crucial Test, with the series squared at 1-1 with two matches to come. The temperature is expected to soar to 40C on day one, possibly factoring into the team winning the toss batting first. “Traditionally it’s been bowl first (at the MCG) but with the heat around ... it looks similar but probably a little bit better than what it has in previous years so decisions for the captains to make at the toss,” Australia coach Andrew McDonald said on Tuesday. “I think this wicket might offer the batters a little bit more in terms of the surface as the game draws on.” Sam Konstas has been confirmed to debut, ensuring he will become the fourth-youngest Australian Test player. Head’s fitness means there will be two changes. Victoria seamer Scott Boland will also come in for the injured Josh Hazlewood. Boland returns to his home ground and the venue of his famous Test debut when he tore through England with 6-7. “If we didn’t pick Scotty here – and I know I’m not allowed to declare the team because that’s Pat’s job – but I don’t think I’m coming to the ground Boxing Day if Scotty’s not in the 11,” McDonald had joked.
