Tragic Details About Louis Tomlinson

From the loss of loved ones, to his strained relationship with his father, to the conspiracy theory that his son isn't real, the tragic real-life story of Louis Tomlinson should come with a complimentary box of Kleenex. Fans of Louis Tomlinson are probably well aware of the deep bond he had with his late mother, Johannah Deakin. Tragically, Deakin's time on Earth was cut short after she passed away from leukemia in December 2016 at the age of 43. Tomlinson first got the call about his mom's terminal diagnosis while attending a friend's wedding, a moment he described as "super-traumatic." He spoke about his mother during an interview on SiriusXM a month after her passing, saying, "It's not something that I feel 100 percent comfortable talking too much about, but just quickly, when I first found out the news I kind of did want to throw the towel in. But it was my mum who said to me that I've just got to keep going. She told me very sternly that she wanted me to." Deakin died less than a year after the birth of Tomlinson's son, Freddie. The proud mom was also survived by Tomlinson's six siblings, including her then 2-year-old twins, Ernest and Doris.
