Niall to get his knee sorted

One Direction star and Mullingar native, Niall Horan, is facing a trip to hospital for knee surgery in the near future.The X Factor graduated hinted last week that he was having knee trouble, while the 1D boys promoted their new single, 'Live While We're Young'.Yesterday morning, Niall tweeted: "Ya know the way I always had a bad knee, added to it playin ball the other day! Its messed up now! Operation time [SIC].""I'm on crutches hahahahhaa! Funny as hell [SIC]".As he'll face some three months of recovery, the operation is likely to happen after One Direction's world tour, so 1D fans in Niall's native county can look forward to seeing more of him for the foreseeable future.
