Craig David has "huge respect" for Zayn for admitting to suffering from anxiety

Hitmaker Craig David has revealed that he has a massive amount of respect for Zayn Malik, who recently axed his performance at the Summertime Ball after announcing that crippling anxiety had prevented him from taking the stage. 

He was asked about Zayn Malik's recent confession about suffering the worst anxiety of his career and told Grazia that it must have taken a lot of guts to announce that to the world, so he admires the young star:

"I think it was a huge, bold move for him to be able to express himself in that way, because that’s a very personal thing and it’s a real thing for people to go through. So for him to actually say that openly to everybody, I’ve got huge respect for him."

"Especially coming from a huge band. You are a solo artist now and going it alone, it’s a huge thing to take on your shoulders so I’ve got huge respect for him. I hope he overcomes it and finds a way that he can go out and do his performances without it keeping on haunting him."
