One Direction's first performance after Zayn Malik quit the band saw emotional Harry Styles cry uncontrollably on stage, Louis Tomlinson held his hand up as if holding an imaginary Zayn.
The boys lost one-fifth of their band and a week after Zayn quit, Louis Tomlinson, Harry Styles, Liam Payne and Niall Horan managed to look normal during their Cape Town concert.
One Direction is getting back into the swing of things as they are set to perform in Dubai, on Saturday night (April 4).
Organised by Done Events, the concert is a sold out. Previously talking to Emirates 247, Thomas Ovesen, COO, Done Events said, "I know fans will be devastated not to see Zayn perform but the show will go on and this is going to be a spectacular event.
"In the past week the rest of the band members performed as a four-piece and they will entertain fans here as well and there will be no changes in the show."
