Liam Payne Is ‘Out of the Hospital’ After ‘Serious Kidney Infection,’ Girlfriend Kate Cassidy Says
Liam Payne is out of the hospital and on the mend, his girlfriend, Kate Cassidy shared on Tuesday (Sept. 19).
“So I’ve gotten a lot of questions about Liam, asking about how he’s doing,” the influencer — with whom Payne made their red-carpet debut in December — said in a TikTok video in which she’s prepping to head out for London Fashion Week. “I just want to let everybody know that he’s doing so much better. He’s out of the hospital and he’s in good hands.”
Billboard has reached out to Payne’s rep for comment.
The former One Direction singer revealed in an Aug. 25 message posted to his social media accounts that he had been hospitalized with a “serious kidney infection” and was postponing his South African tour dates. “Over the past week I’ve been in hospital with a serious kidney infection, it’s something I wouldn’t wish on anyone, and doctors orders are that I now need to rest and recover,” he noted in the caption accompanying his video.
The 30-year-old also shared in the video message that he had started feeling unwell before being hospitalized. “I’ve just been advised that now is really not the right time to be out on the road trying to recover from this,” he said. “I have the best people around me trying to help me to recover as I speak.”
Payne has been open about his journey to better health in recent months. In May, he revealed that he had reached an important milestone: 100 days of sobriety. “Things are really, really good. I’m sober now over 100 days. I feel amazing,” the musician shared on IFL TV at the time. “I feel really, really good, and support from the fans and everything has been really, really good. So, I’m super happy.”
