Eamonn Holmes ATTACKED by One Direction fans after he slams band for cancelling gig

EAMONN HOLMES has been slammed by One Direction fans after he criticised the boys for pulling out of their Belfast gig at the last minute.

 

The four piece were due to take to the stage at the SSE Arena last night, but were forced to cancel 30 minutes after showtime when Liam Payne was suddenly taken ill.

Despite having an arena full of excited fans though, 1D revealed the devastating news via a large screen at the front of the stage and failed to make an appearance, which angered Eamonn.

 

The TV presenter took to Twitter to post: "I don't care who was sick in #OneDirection. Rest of them should have had the decency & maturity to appear on stage and explain."

However, as per usual, Directioners have been quick to 'protect' their boys and took to the social networking site to have their say on the matter.

I don't care who was sick in #OneDirection Direction. Rest of them should have had the decency & maturity to appear on stage and explain.

Another added: "They will do a refund will you shut up. You can buy more tickets. There is just one Liam Payne" while one said: "Who tf are you? just stay in your lane nobody asked you anything and nobody cares what u think."
A different person shared: "No loyalty?! This is their first missed show in 5 years you ass" as another concerned person added: "They're human beings too you know? Are yall really that insensitive? (sic)"

They may have left thousands of fans disappointed, but Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan made sure to take to their individual Twitter profiles to apologise last night.
A representative for the band also posted: "Unfortunately One Direction have had to cancel tonight's concert in Belfast.
"Liam has been taken suddenly ill, and the concert will sadly not be taking place.
"Fans have been asked to hold on to their tickets and there will be a further statement tomorrow. The band apologise to their fans and wish Liam well as soon as possible."

Eamonn thinks the boys should have broken the news personally
