Niall and Liam Attacked by fans in NY
On May 27th, when the boys were set to perform Niall and Liam left their hotel to find 60 screaming girls in a mob rushing towards them. Their hair got pulled, shirts got ripped, Liam got knocked down and Niall got hit in the face multiple times.
" It was crazy.As they left the hotel on 54th this sea of girls engulfed them. The security was desperately trying to keep them safe but they were completely surrounded."
Since this incident happened they will each now have security guards to help them get passed any over excited fans. Niall later even commented on twitter " This is a complete joke"
The boys are fine now, but as of any fans that might see a glimpse of them, try not to knock them down.
Getting ready for their North American Tour Starting May 24th!
May 13th-May 20th
One Direction Works with Rays of Sunshine
Seven year old Hope Cole has always dreamed of meeting One Direction and the Rays of Sunshine foundation helped that wish come true.Hope was diagnosed in 2008 with cancer and now has a brain tumor.
She is profoundly deaf in her right ear and has to wear a hearing aid, but that hasn't brought her down. Her mom Amanda explains “Hope was so excited to meet the band and couldn't believe that it was actually happening. She got to spend around five minutes with each member, asking them questions and having her photograph taken. Her favorite was defiantly Liam."
Hope went through 18 months of chemotherapy after doctors thought it was to dangerous to remove the tumor. Only a tiny bit remained, but last October they had found that it grew again.
She has now completed another round of chemotherapy and although most of it is gone, they still found a small amount left.
“Hope has remained so courageous throughout, even though she knows what is going on,” Amanda said.
