Liam Payne has announced the postponement of his South American tour after being rushed to hospital.
Sharing a video to announce the news, the former One Direction star revealed he had been hospitalised with a kidney infection.
The dad-of-one told his followers: “This really is the last news I want to be telling you but basically I’ve been a little bit unwell recently.”
“I ended up in hospital with a bad kidney infection,” Liam continued. “We started rehearsals and I’ve been advised that now is really not the right time to be travelling on the road while I recover from this.”
“I’ve got the best people around me at home trying to help me recover as we speak, but yeah we’re gonna have to reschedule the tour.”
Liam captioned the post: “It’s with a heavy heart I have to tell you that we have no other choice but to postpone my upcoming tour of South America.”
“Over the past week I’ve been in hospital with a serious kidney infection, it’s something I wouldn’t wish on anyone, and doctors orders are that I now need to rest and recover.”
