"Snapshots of Niall Horan on crutches surfaced yesterday, which caused major concern among Directioners and regular people alike\u2014and for good reason. If Niall can't walk, how can he dance (or attempt to dance, since everyone knows One Direction's moves aren't as smooth as their voices) when they embark on their world tour in a few months?!\n\nEveryone flipped out (because duh!), so Niall took to Twitter today to let fans know he's a-OK. In his words, but with slightly different punctuation because he doesn't have a copyeditor looking over his shoulder like we do: \"I know most of you have seen those pics today! Yes I've had major knee surgery\u2014a much larger surgery than first anticipated.\" He added that the procedure was \"a complete success,\" especially \"considering the scale of it.\" Um, ouch?\n\nIt's impossible to predict how soon he'll be back on his feet again, since we don't know what kind of surgery he had and also because we're not licensed doctors, but here's to hoping he'll have the speediest of recoveries.\n\nHis knee's on the mend, but at least his Twitter-happy fingers are just fine?\n\nhttps://twitter.com/NiallOfficial/statuses/424134136555921408\n\nhttps://twitter.com/NiallOfficial/statuses/424134382174343168\n\nhttps://twitter.com/NiallOfficial/statuses/424134560155443200"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
