This boy bander is pissed!

One Direction's Zayn Malik is fuming mad over Matt Lauer's suggestion that drug abuse was the reason he missed a promotional appearance on The Today Show with the rest of bandmates, and he wants to make it clear he was simply under the weather!

"I'm really angry and upset by what was said on The Today Show. I was really ill at the weekend. That's why I couldn't fly to America," he vented to The Sun.

"Zayn was taken ill after recording the Band Aid single at the weekend and was unfortunately not well enough to fly to the USA yesterday. He will join the band for promotion for the new album as soon as he possibly can," a rep for the group said at the time.

We don't blame him for being outraged!
