Singer Liam Payne has cancelled his upcoming South American tour after being hospitalised with a 'serious kidney infection'.
The former One Direction member took to social media to send an apology to his overseas fans, and explain the reasons why he won't be travelling to perform this year.
The Mirror reports that Liam took to Instagram and looked downtrodden in a video on the platform, as he explained why his tour would now be cancelled.
The star said: "Hey guys, this really is the last piece of news I wanted to tell you. Basically, I've been a little bit unwell recently, and I ended up in hospital with a bad kidney infection.
"We started rehearsals and I've just been advised that now isn't really the right time to be out on the road while trying to recover from this.
"I have the best people around me at home trying to help me recover as we speak, but yeah, we're going to have to reschedule the tour.
"Please look out for ways to refund your tickets. Looking forward to seeing you guys soon, hopefully we'll put on an even bigger and better show.
"Thank you, and I'm sorry."
He also wrote in the caption: "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.
"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
