I really hope everyone can make the rescheduled date on Friday," he wrote, adding, Thank you so much for all the trends and lovely messages you guys did for me it really shows how amazing u guys actually are.

Quick clarification: No, the world is not coming to an end, but a One Direction concert has been canceled.
The wildly popular boyband, which includes Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson, called off their show in Belfast today moments before the young heartthrobs were expected to take the stage because Payne fell ill.
"Unfortunately, the show tonight has been canceled as Liam has been taken ill, and while it is not serious, he is unable to perform tonight," the announcer tells a packed crowd as the audience erupts in horror in a fan recorded video from the event.
Harry Styles also expressed his disappointment and tweeted an apology on the social media site.
"Deepest apologies to everyone at the show tonight in Belfast," he wrote. "Very disappointed, but unfortunately these things happen. We're very sorry."
Likewise, Tomlinson tweeted, "We're so so sorry for what happened tonight, it was out of our control ! Lots of love to Liam and thank you for being so understanding !"
While the band has yet to release an official statement, #GetWellSoonLiam quickly began trending worldwide with many loyal Directioners expressing their deepest concerns.
No further information has been released about Payne's condition, and it's currently unclear if 1-D plans to reschedule the gig.
The X-Factor formed boybanders are scheduled to perform Wednesday and Thursday in Belfast followed by a show on Sunday in Newcastle upon Tyne.
In the meantime, here's a look the fans who are crying over the news:
Fans who are being rude about Liam not being strong like the other boys and canceling a show please leave #GetWellSoonLiam
