London, June 19 (IANS): Singer Zayn Malik will reportedly seek advice from singer Adele in his bid to overcome anxiety issues.

Adele had earlier said she had suffered from anxiety issues early on in her career. And so, the former One Direction star's management is said to have turned to her.

Several sources claim that Malik has been dogged by the problem throughout his career and say his team have reached out to Adele’s manager Jonathan Dickins for advice, reports mirror.co.uk.

The “Someone like you” hitmaker overcame her own panic attacks and anxiety issues after struggling to perform to large crowds earlier in her career.

In an earlier interview, Adele had said: “I have anxiety attacks, constant panicking on stage, my heart feels like it’s going to explode because I never feel like I’m going to deliver, ever. I will not do festivals. The thought of an audience that big frightens the life out of me."

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