Zayn Malik fans have launched a huge #FREEZAYN online campaign.
The pop icon's 2018 album 'Icarus Falls' marked his maturation, a broad, wide-ranging 27 track affair.
Since then new material has been thin on the ground, leading to speculation from his huge army of fans.
Last night – February 11th – speculation began mounting that Zayn was unhappy with his label, causing a whirlwind on social media.

Zayn Malik himself seemed to pick up on this, posting:
Yo! thank you so much for letting me know about this.
I do not have any new collaborations coming so please just keep checking here for any news. You know you will always be the first to know. Spread the word … big love— zayn (@zaynmalik) February 12, 2020
But perhaps Zayn Malik has other matters to attend to – he seems to be back together with Gigi Hadid.
