Niall Horan Admits He's Still Suffering With Knee During One Direction Performances: 'No Jumping For A While'

One Direction's tour dates may involve a lot of physical activity, as the boys tend to run up and down that stage several times a night, but it looks like Niall Horan won't be taking part in too many of the band's dance routines, as he took to Twitter to admit that his knee is still rather painful.

The 1D hunk has an old football injury, that saw him forced to wear crutches last year and we wouldn't be surprised if the blonde ends up using them again soon, as he was spotted limping outside his Amsterdam hotel yesterday.

The Irish male went outside to meet a crowd of Directioners, according to Unreality TV, but after chatting with them for a while, he was then seen limping away in pain.

Niall told a fan last night that the knee injury is making it hard to perform on a nightly basis, on his Take Me Home tour.

The Twitter user asked: “@NiallOfficial how are you niall? and you knee? he is good? you can jump?” (sic), to which the 1D babe replied : “no jumping for a while for me! Hard to perform!”

Another fan messaged the star saying: “I hope @NiallOfficial ‘s knees will be alright soon! Tonight was the best night of my life!!! #WETURNEDZIGGOORANGE”

Horan responded: “i hope so too honey! painful but its cool”

He also apologised to waiting fans yesterday adding: “Sorry I didn’t stay long outside hotel! This hopping around business is not fun hahaha! Love you all”

Niall admitted last year that his knee would eventually require surgery. However, surgery would mean him being off his feet until he heals and that isn’t an option while he is on a world tour.

Unfortunately, that could mean that he’s in pain from now until his final show in November.

Horan tweeted last year saying: “Ya know that way I always had a bad knee, added to it playing ball the other day!," following hilarious rumours that suggested that the singer had been involved in a 'squirrel attack.'

Niall continued, “It’s messed up now. Operation time. I’m on crutches hahahahaha! Funny as hell.”

“My original injury was about 2 years ago, jet got worse, then I was playing football and did ligaments!”

“Yeh [I will have surgery] whenever I have time, coz i need about 2.5 months for rehab for it! He added: “It won’t be until end of world tour I’d imagine.”

Poor Niall!
