Craig David on Zayn Malik: 'He's just a human trying to show what he's capable of'

Singer Craig David has explained that it's important as an artist to try to shake off the fear of failure because it will hold you back from the things you can achieve.

As previously reported, the 'Seven Days' hitmaker confessed that he admired Zayn Malik for telling the world about his struggles with anxiety: "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."

During the same interview with Grazia, Craig David then opened up about failure and revealed that Malik shouldn't be afraid of it:

"People can see that you are a human being and I think once you get back down to taking away all the smoke and mirrors, it’s a human being who is in front of everybody, trying to show what he is capable of. You’re thinking ‘I woke up this morning. I’m alive. I’m glad that I can make music. I’m just going to deliver it.’"

"There are always going to be opinions of anything that you do and hopefully there’s more positives in your life than there are negatives and you shun off the negative because you haven’t got time for it and you keep on walking forward."
