Last night One Direction were due to perform in Belfast as part of their world tour.
And the band – especially Niall – seemed excited about the show.
Belfast ... What's goin on ?????
However, just 30 minutes before they were due on stage, a message flashed up on the screens to tell the audience that Liam Payne had been taken ill and One Direction wouldn't be performing.
The message read: "The show tonight has been cancelled as Liam has been taken ill, and whilst not serious, he is unable to perform tonight. Please hold on to your tickets. A further statement will be made in the morning. The band apologise to the fans and wish Liam better."
A member of staff at the arena then appeared onstage to tell fans to exit the venue slowly – but some members of the audience still thought: "It's only a joke."
"It's only a joke" says one fan as One Direction gig is cancelled. Sadly it was true.
However, once it began to sink in that the gig was off, fans were pretty gutted.
Shortly after the announcement was made, Harry, Niall, and Louis took to Twitter to apologise to fans.
Deepest apologies to everyone at the show tonight in Belfast. Very disappointed, but unfortunately these things happen. We're very sorry. H
So sorry we have had to cancel tonight guys. Unfortunately these things happen... Thank you to all who came down tonight !
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 !
But it didn't stop the inevitable "Are they splitting up?" comments.
Maybe one direction are splitting up early
@bet365 Can i get a price on One direction splitting up in next few days ?
I stg if one direction are actually splitting up for real, I don't even know what I'm gonna do
Other fans were quick to shut down the rumours.
one direction is not splitting up they're literally heading in a new direction as evident from 'home' iM SCREAMING
one direction is not splitting tomorrow.. shut up
This morning, One Direction released the music video for their latest single, "Perfect".
Hours later, Liam Payne took to Twitter to apologise to fans, and assured them he is now feeling "much better."
I'm so sorry to everybody I disappointed last night. I'm feeling better now. I really hope everyone can make the rescheduled date on Friday.
As I said I'm feeling much better now and I really can't wait to perform and make it up to everyone later
