Niall isn’t the only former 1D member who spoke out during this devastating time. Zayn Malik, 23, also tweeted his thoughts, although he and Louis have had a tumultuous. “@Louis_Tomlinson love you bro! All of your family is in my prayers,” Zayn wrote in a tweet on Dec. 9, adding, “proud of your strength and know your mum is too x.” We’re glad to see the 1D guys rallying around Louis while he is going through a difficult time.
