Zayn Malik Thanks the One Direction Boys in a Heartfelt Acceptance Speech

Zayn Malik attended the Asian Awards in London on Friday night with his mother, where he showed off his shocking new shaved head. Zayn also took the stage to accept the award for outstanding achievement in music, and he gave a supersweet acceptance speech to accompany his win. "Tonight's about thanks," he said, and after he thanked God and his mom and dad, he continued, "I'd also like to take this moment to thank four of the best guys I've ever met. Everything I've done with them will stay with me for the rest of my life." It's been almost a month since Zayn announced his departure from One Direction, effectively causing a full-scale Internet meltdown. He has since spoken out about his reasons for leaving, but this is one of the first times he's publicly addressed the boys since he left. We're just glad they seem to be on good terms, in spite of all the controversy. Watch the video, above!
