Louis Tomlinson has broken his silence for the first time since the death of his sister Félicité.

The popstar’s 18-year-old sister Félicité passed away on 13 March after a suspected heart attack.

Louis, 27, has not spoken about her death; however, he today tweeted to thank fans for their support.

He wrote: ‘Just wanted to thank everyone for their lovely words over the past couple of weeks. Back in the studio today to vocal something I wrote a few months ago. Sending you all loads of love.’


Fans replied to tell the singer they were proud of him, as well as sharing their excitement for his new music.



Louis has understandably been laying low following his sister’s unexpected passing, which came just over two years after the death of Louis’s mum Johannah.

The mother-of-seven was just 43 when she died on 7 December 2016, after a battle with a ‘very aggressive form of leukaemia’.

Just a week before Félicité’s death, Louis made his comeback, releasing the song Two Of Us, which reflected on the death of his mum.

He sings on the track: ‘You’ll never know how much I miss you, the day that they took you, I wish it was me instead.’

The former boybander admitted he was worried about playing Two Of Us for his younger sisters, telling Newsbeat: ‘I’m not at the stage in my grief where I’m going to open the first verse and burst into tears.

‘It was something I needed to get off my chest. I used to lean on my mum for a lot of things – anytime I needed advice on something she would be the first call I made.

‘There is a lot of fight in life and I just get on with it. I’m quite a positive person but there’s no two ways about it – it’s sad what happened to me.’

Louis was due to perform Two Of Us on Comic Relief on 15 March, but understandably pulled out of the performance.

The singer confirmed, however, he will be performing at Hits Live in the West Midlands on 4 May.

Meanwhile, his sister Lottie spent the weekend at Coachella with her boyfriend Sam Prince.

Félicité is survived by her siblings Louis, Daisy, Phoebe, Lottie, Ernest and Doris, her father Mark and her stepdad Dan.
