Louis Tomlinson fans raise THOUSANDS for charity in Félicité’s honour after sudden death
LOUIS Tomlinson’s loyal fans have rallied together to show their support to the former One Direction star following the shock death of his 18-year-old sister Félicité earlier this week.
The 27-year-old star’s followers have raised thousands of pounds for charity in Félicité’s honour, with 1D Fans Give hosting annual charitable drives to mark each of the members birthdays.
The fans are raising money for Stand Up To Cancer, with Louis tragically losing his mother Johannah to leukaemia in December 2016.
Sharing a sweet photo of Louis with Félicité, known as Fizzy, to the Just Giving page, the account wrote: “We were shocked and saddened to hear the news of Fizzy’s passing.
“As fans, it’s hard to know what to do in times like these. If you would like to make a donation and leave some kind words for Louis and his family, that is a way we can show our support while giving the family the privacy they need.
“We love you, Louis, and our hearts are with you.”
And fans have donated in their hundreds, so far raising over $6,000 [£4,500] for the cause.
One generous donor wrote: “In memory of Fizzy, rest in peace beautiful and kind angel. My thoughts are with the family, stay strong!”
Another shared: “Donating in memory of Jay and Félicité.
“Donating in honour of the incredible Tomlinson family and in recognition of their strength and bravery in such awful circumstances. Sending Louis all my love.”
A third said: “For Fizzy. For her family, friends, and all those who loved her.
“May these messages reach you and bring you some comfort. May you have the space and time to grieve this unimaginable loss. All the love.”
A fourth poignantly shared: “I am physically sick with grief for Louis and his beautiful family.
“I am in so much pain so I can’t fathom how they are doing.
“Although I know this family is so strong, I want to help in any way I can.”
Louis was left “devastated and distraught” after Félicité was found dead in her London home following a suspected heart attack on Wednesday afternoon.

She collapsed at her fourth floor studio apartment in Earl’s Court, West London, with emergency services pronouncing her dead at the scene.
Louis understandably cancelled all work commitments in light of the heartbreaking news, including his planned performance of new single Two Of Us – which is a tribute to his late mother – on last night’s Comic Relief.
He is instead focusing on his family, with the star also big brother to 20-year-old Lottie, 14-year-old twins Daisy and Phoebe, and five-year-old twins Doris and Ernest.
