Lenny Henry paid a special tribute to Louis Tomlinson who cancelled his Comic Relief 2019 performance in wake of his sister’s death.
The One Direction star’s sister Félicité died aged 18 after a suspected heart attack, and was found in her fourth-floor apartment in Earls Court, London.
Louis cancelled his performance on Comic Relief 2019 in wake of the tragic news, with charity creator Lenny Henry addressing his absence on the show.
Speaking on the show, Lenny said: ‘Now tonight we were due to be joined by a special member of the Comic Relief family. Louis Tomlinson wanted to be on this stage to help us, but the sudden and tragic loss of his sister Félicité obviously means he can’t be here.
‘The love and best wishes from all of us at Comic Relief go out to Louis and his family at this terrible time.’
Felicite’s boyfriend, Luke Storey, has since posted a heartbreaking tribute, writing how he believed it should have been him.
Louis also lost his mother Johannah back in December 2016 following a battle with leukemia, with the singer recently releasing new song Two Of Us in her honour.
You can catch Comic Relief on BBC One.
