One Direction have cancelled their Belfast concert tonight, after reports Liam has taken ill.
In a statement on their website, Aiken Promotions say: 'The show tonight has been cancelled as Liam has 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.'
It seems fans had been waiting in the arena for the lads to take to the stage and are now on their way home.
