Our (not long at all) national nightmare is over!
Zayn Malik is back appearing with One Direction -- and Twitter couldn't be more thrilled, with #ZaynisBack trending all last night (Nov. 18). It was a really hard 36 hours, apparently.
After missing the band's Today show appearance Monday morning, the band reported he was ill and back in the U.K. Host Matt Lauer asked them if he wassuffering from substance abuse problems, which they vigorously denied. Malik later said the question left him "angry and upset."
Happily, he's now feeling better and joined the guys on stage for their Tuesday night show in Orlando.
No surprise -- the crowd couldn't contain their joy:
Fans will next be able to see the band all together this Sunday at the American Music Awards.
