Former One Direction singer, Louis Tomlinson shared an emotional tribute to his late mother this week.

On the one year anniversary of his mother’s death, Louis posted: “Love you. Always x” on his Twitter.

Fans flooded Louis’ Twitter account with support on what was sure to be an extremely difficult day for the 25-year-old.

Louis struggled with tears during his performance but was overwhelmed with the support he received from fans online. Following his performance he tweeted his thanks:

“Feeling so much love around me and my family. Mum would have been so [bleep]ing proud ( sorry for swearing mum ) love you !”

“That was harder than I ever imagined. I want to thank everyone around me and all of the amazing fans out there that made that so special!”
