Zayn Malik enjoyed some down time after his concert in New York City. The former One Direction star, 32, was seen puffing on a cigarette after the second of his two shows in Manhattan on his Stairway to the Sky tour. Zayn wore a red plaid shirt and tan pants for his smoke break as he was seen exiting an SUV after his show at the Hammerstein Ballroom.

The tour is his first ever solo tour and it supports his album Room Under the Stairs. The concerts come after the tragic death of his One Direction bandmate Liam Payne. As he tours the United States, the star, who shares a four-year-old named Khai with his ex Gigi Hadid, has been paying tribute to his late friend at the end of his set during his song Stardust.

Zayn Malik enjoyed some down time after his concert in New York City. The chorus of the song is especially poignant in light of Payne's death. 'Feels like stardust / Fallin' all around us /Funny how it found us,' the lyrics go in part. Zayn's tour has become notable for another reason as well. His entire backing band is made up of women.

His band has become celebrities recently after going viral on social media. The star employed seven women to accompany him on tour: guitarist Molly Miller, the drummer who goes by Baby Bulldog, singers Lisa Ramey, Tahira Clayton and Rebecca Haviland, keyboard player Tina Hizon and bassist Ryan Madora.
