The Irish News reports that children are “crying in the street”.
Eamonn Holmes, meanwhile, is having none of it.
Further details on Payne’s condition are expected in the morning, although The Sun’s Dan Wootton is reporting tonight that he is not in hospital.
The band is scheduled to perform in Belfast tomorrow and Thursday night, but Aiken Promotions have yet to confirm whether these dates will go ahead as planned.
We’re keeping our fingers crossed for the teens of Belfast.
