Adele turns advisor for Zayn Malik

Former One Direction star Zayn Malik is reportedly set to seek advice from Adele, in the his bid to overcome crippling anxiety issues.

Malik has been dogged by the problem throughout his career, and his team has reached out to Adele's manager Jonathan Dickins for advice, reported Daily Mirror.

"Zayn's management are doing everything they can to help him because its having a major impact on his career. I believe she been in touch with Adele's manager Johnathan Dickins about it because Adele got a lot of help with panic attacks and stage fright - and look at her now," a source said..

Superstar Adele, who headlines Glastonbury Festival next weekend, overcame her own panic attacks and anxiety issues after struggling to perform to large crowds earlier in her career.

Last weekend Malik, 23, pulled out of a major concert at Wembley Stadium at the eleventh hour - admitting he has been struggling with mental health issues for some time.

In a statement released an hour after he was due on stage, the star admitted being ''haunted by anxiety" and told fans: "Unfortunately my anxiety that has haunted me throughout the last few months around live performances has gotten the better of me.

"With the magnitude of the event, I have suffered the worst anxiety of my career. I cannot apologise enough but I want to be honest with everyone who has patiently waited to see me, I promise I will do my best to make this up to everybody I've let down today."
