One Direction is back to full strength again as missing band member Zayn Malik rejoins the group after the singer was forced to miss a number of gigs in America last week due to one of his aunts passing away.

Malik touched down on American soil today just in time to join the other lads for tonight’s gig in Durham, North Connecticut.

He took to Twitter to reveal:

Back in the US can’t wait to see the boys hopefully they haven’t missed me too much aha ! x x

Niall Horan seemed particularly elated and replied to his pal saying:

@zaynmalik malik is back! Can’t wait t see ya man! Missed ya big time all week! Billlllyyyy

The group will be coming to the end of their US tour soon with only three dates left . They will take to the stage tonight in Durham, NC, tomorrow in Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena and on March 9th in New York City’s Radio City Music Hall.
