‘Blondie is back’: Fans gush over Zayn Malik’s new bleach-blonde hair

Fans have taken to social media to gush over Zayn Malik’s new bleach-blonde hair.

The Pillow Talk singer showed off his brand new look on his Instagram account on Monday morning.

Posing shirtless in the selfie, the former One Direction star wrote: “Sun is shining, the weather is good.”

The singer had previously been sporting his natural dark brown locks following a completely shaved look last year.

One fan simply hailed the former One Direction member a “model", while another wrote: “I love your new hair style. You still look perfect.”

Meanwhile one fan said: “Have you ever seen anyone more beautiful?”

The news comes after Malik released his song for fans to access for free after it was leaked online.

Publishing a free download link for fans, he wrote: “This was not a song I intended to put out, but due to unprofessionalism has been leaked by someone.

“And my fans mean more to me than a stupid leak, so here it is free for you to enjoy, before my music drops //inzayn.com/#music :) love z.”

The former One Direction star announced on Twitter he was putting the Zayn x August Alsina - Don't Matter (Remix) out for free on Sunday morning.

Within an hour Don't Matter was the site's top trending hashtag worldwide.

The singer's website, where the track was available, appeared to crash as hordes of fans rushed to get a first listen.
