Liam Payne’s mum has shared how ‘worried sick’ she feels about her son after he was taken to hospital in Italy.
On Tuesday evening, it was reported that the former One Direction singer had been hospitalised while on holiday to celebrate his one-year anniversary with his girlfriend Kate Cassidy.
His hospitalisation came weeks after he informed fans in a heartfelt video that he’d been forced to postpone his solo tour, after receiving treatment for a kidney infection in hospital.
Following the latest health update, the 30-year-old’s mother, Karen Payne, spoke about how concerned she felt for her son’s wellbeing, emphasising how ‘helpless’ she felt.
‘We are all worried sick about it but we just have to get on. It’s horrible – him being all the way over there,’ she said, MailOnline reported.
‘He’s in Milan and it sounds like he’ll be there for a week. I feel helpless.’
She continued: ‘All we can really do is sit it out here and hope for the best. There is nothing we can do. We feel helpless.’
Karen added that it was ‘such a horrible situation’, and they ‘just hope he’s in the best place possible’.
A source previously claimed that Liam was ‘in a bad way’ when he was admitted to hospital.
‘Liam is in a bad way but he’s in the best place he can be and finally doctors will be able to get to the bottom of what is going on,’ they told The Sun.
‘Naturally he is gutted that his and Kate’s trip to Lake Como has been ruined but at least she was there to help him when he fell ill.
‘Doctors have warned him not to expect to be signed off to go home for at least another six days.’
According to the source, the doctors want to ‘do every test possible to understand the issue’.
The publication claimed that Liam was transported to A&E in an ambulance before being taken to a hospital ward for emergency treatment, where he is expected to stay for a few days.
On August 25, the musician shared in an update on Instagram: ‘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.’
He continued: ‘I was beyond excited to come play for you guys. To all of you who have bought tickets: I’m so sorry. We’re working to re-schedule the tour as soon as we possibly can, but for now we will be refunding the tickets – so please look out for updates from your point of purchase.
‘Thanks as always for the love and support, and look forward to seeing you soon.’
