Louis Tomlinson's mum's last words to One Direction fans
Johannah sadly passed away last week
Louis Tomlinson's mum Johannah Deakin sadly passed away last week following her battle with leukaemia but the mum of seven left a touching message to her son's loyal fans.
Johannah bravely asked her husband Dan to share the emotional message before she passed away.
Sticking to his word, Dan took to Johannah's Twitter page and wrote, 'Hi, it's Dan. Johannah asked me to send this afterwards'.
'She wanted to thank you all, and to let you know that you have been amazing right from the start. You changed Louis' life, but also her life. Your support now is as strong if not stronger than ever'.
'So from Johannah one last time, thank you for everything'.
The emotional message comes just a day after Louis spoke out on social media. Taking to Instagram to share a picture of himself on stage, the 24-year-old thanked fans for their support throughout the tough time.
He simply wrote, 'Thank you for the incredible support' with a smiley face emoji.
The One Direction singer was branded 'brave' after he stuck to his mother’s wishes and performed his debut solo track 'Just Hold On' on The X Factor last weekend.
Louis received a standing ovation from the arena crown and struggled to hold back the tears after Simon Cowell's speech. He said, “Louis, what you've just done and the bravery that took, I just respect you so much as an artist and as a person.
"Your mum was so looking forward to tonight and I know she is watching down on you now. She was so proud of you."

The other One Direction boys including Harry Styles, Liam Payne and Niall Horan were all backstage at The X Factor to support their friend and fellow bandmate, with viewers at home praising the 24-year-old for his bravery.
After his performance, his track 'Just Hold On' has stormed up the music charts and is battling with X Factor winner Matt Terry's debut track 'When Christmas Comes Around' for the number one spot.
