One Direction's Belfast Gig Cancelled As Liam Payne Unable To Perform Of Sickness!
Thousands of One Direction fans were heartbroken after the Belfast's SSE Arena gig was cancelled at the last minute. Liam Payne is taken as ill and unable to perform for the said show.
The said show earned £1.6million worth of tickets as Belfast Telegraph reported 30,000 fans bought tickets just to see the boy band perform, reported by Daily Mail.
Moreso, during the safety reminders, a statement was flashed saying the young pop singer had been sick and unable to perform.
None from Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne spoke to their audience personally instead they left a statement and a representative to read it. Aiken PR said: "The show tonight has been cancelled as Liam has taken ill, and whilst not serious, he is unable to perform tonight," according to Irish Times.
"A further statement will be made in the morning (Wednesday). The band apologise to the fans and wish Liam better," the representative added cited by Irish Times.
Jamie Lawson, according to Mirror, had already performed before the said announcement was read and made the One Direction supporters devastated and tweeted about what happen.
Harry, Louis and Niall sent their apologies using their respective Twitter account just after the gig was officially canceled.
"Deepest apologies to everyone at the show tonight in Belfast. Very disappointed, but unfortunately these things happen. We're very sorry. H," sent by Harry Styles who first posted his sentiments regarding the canceled show.
Additionally, Louis also sent his apologies through his Twitter account cited by Daily Mail and said: "We're so so sorry for what happened tonight, it was out of our control ! Lots of love to Liam and thank you for being so understanding!"
Niall was the last to tweet and said: "So sorry we have had to cancel tonight guys. Unfortunately these things happen... Thank you to all who came down tonight!"
Meanwhile, the young four-piece boy band's fans left heartbroken. Some are thinking that this gig cancellation will be followed by Liam's leaving the group as this was the same picture displayed when Zayn Malik left the band.
