They claim that he’s "challenging to work with, declining many promotional opportunities and not touring behind his last album.” He did have a change of heart, however, since he’s been preparing to tour and promote his newest untitled album. But that wasn’t enough for him and his management company, and they still decided to drop him.

It’s been a tough year for the "Pillowtalk" singer, since he also went through a rough breakup with longtime girlfriend Gigi Hadid in March and has undergone several physical transformations since their split. Is this professional breakup too much for Zayn to rebound from, or will his latest album help get him back into a positive spotlight?
