Music Reacts to One Direction's Louis Tomlinson’s Mother's Death
This is honestly too sad.
Former One Direction star Louis Tomlinson's beloved mother Johannah passed away two days ago after a long battle with leukemia. She was 42 years old.
Johannah was very much loved by the 1D fanbase due to her close relationship with Louis. She used to share childhood stories and photos of him all the time on social media. And talking "social", the pic above is, as of this post, the last Louis has shared on Instagram. The post - added by Louis in late November - was a throwback to this February, when mother and son attended the Brit Awards together. The caption read: "My mother looking gorgeous before the Brits earlier this year . I love you and miss you so much!". The "miss you" parts clearly indicated he hadn't been home in a long while because of his solo music recording duties. But evidently, as reports indicate, Louis was with her mother during her very last days.

Johannah's whole family released a joint official statement earlier today:
"It is with immeasurable sadness that Johannah Deakin’s family said goodbye to Johannah in the early hours of Wednesday 7th December 2016. Earlier this year Johannah was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of leukaemia that required immediate and continuous treatment. Johannah was first and foremost a truly amazing mother to seven children – Louis (24), Lottie (18), Félicité (16), and two sets of twins, Phoebe and Daisy (12) and Ernest and Doris (2) – whose individual talents and success are testament to the principles and beliefs she instilled in them. She was also an incredibly proud grandmother to Freddie. Incredibly selfless, she would always look to put other people before herself. She desired nothing more than for everyone around her to be happy and loving. She worked tirelessly on numerous charity campaigns, creating memories for many individuals and their families. It wasn’t uncommon for Johannah to hear through the media of an individual in need of assistance, and she would immediately make it her objective to get that person what they often desperately needed, and rarely without success."
