Zayn Malik 'angry and upset' after Today Show drugs question

One Direction star Zayn Malik has spoken of his "anger" after his non-appearance at a recent interview was linked to drugs.

The singer sat out of an interview on the Today Show on Monday (November 17) as the band promoted new album 'FOUR'.

Host Matt Lauer took heed from social media gossip and asked the four singers if Malik's no-show was linked to "substance abuse", with Niall Horan visibly taken aback by the question.

Speaking to The Sun, Malik responded with anger and disappointment at the questioning, stating that he is ill.

He said: "I’m really angry and upset by what was said on The Today Show. I was really ill at the weekend, that’s why I couldn’t fly to America.

"As soon as I’m feeling better I’m going to join the guys and carry on with the promotion for the album."
