Fans are seriously wishing the best for Cher Lloyd. On Wednesday, May 6, the songstress took to Twitter and explained why she had been absent on social media, by revealing to fans that her dad has been hospitalized and is “seriously unwell.”
“Hi everyone, I’m sorry I’ve been quiet on here — I find it difficult to share my personal life at the best of times, but I feel I need to let you know what’s going on,” the 26-year-old wrote in a heartfelt post. “My dad has been seriously unwell and is in hospital. This has been really difficult on us and my head’s all over the place. I wish I could see him, and I wish I could be with my family to support them, especially mum. We can’t be with dad but I’m so grateful to the doctors and nurses for looking after him. This is such a scary time for everyone, I hope you are keeping safe.”
She continued, “While I take a bit of time to focus on my family over this difficult period, my team will be taking over key posts for me so we can keep you updated on all things ‘Lost.'”
Naturally, the former The X Factor contestant’s 6.9 million followers were quick to send positive messages to her and her family.
“I’m so sorry that you and your family are going through this. I’m keeping you all in my thoughts and sending so much love. Love you so much,” one fan wrote. Another added, “Keeping you, dad and the rest of your family in my thoughts. We love you!”
