Liam Payne was rushed to hospital in Italy

Renowned singer Liam Payne, former member of the boy group One Direction, has been rushed to hospital after he fell ill on a recent trip to Lake Como in Italy with his girlfriend Katie Cassidy.

Recently, the artist had to cancel his first solo tour that would take place in South America due to a health complication, a serious kidney infection that kept him hospitalized for a week, as he revealed to his fans.

“For the past week I was in the hospital with a serious kidney infection, something I wouldn’t wish on anyone, and the doctors’ orders are that I now need to rest and recover“, Payne said.

According to the well-known British media ‘The Sun‘, the artist was celebrating his first anniversary with Cassidy when he was suddenly taken by ambulance to the emergency room of a hospital to receive treatment, where he would remain for a few days.

“Liam is in poor health, but he is in the best place he can be and finally the doctors will be able to get to the bottom of the reason of his illness.

Naturally, he’s devastated that his and Kate’s trip to Lake Como for their special date had been ruined, but at least she was there to help him when he got sick.

Doctors warned him not to wait to be discharged home for at least another six days so he would be under observation for a long time.

They want to do all the tests possible to fully understand the problem in his health, but now they suspect that there has been an underlying problem for some time that has been getting worse“, a source close to the newspaper revealed.
