Liam Payne Reveals The Real Reason One Direction's 2015 Belfast Concert Was Cancelled

There has only been one time when One Direction cancelled a concert, and that was in 2015 in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

At the time, it was reported that Liam Payne had been “taken ill” or had food poisoning, but in reality, he was struggling with a deep depression over breaking up with former girlfriend Sophia Smith.

“I let it get to me that day. I wasn’t in a good place,” he revealed in a new interview. “And unfortunately I was going through a rough time and I let it get to me a little bit too much. That was it.”

Liam also addressed the band’s break at the moment, opening up about how they all needed it.

“Even though I know fans are not mad about it, we needed it,” he says. “We needed a little bit of time away from each other. We needed a realisation point to find the love for it again, rather than it just becoming a job. I’m a totally different person now to how I used to be about it.”
