Liam Payne celebrated his 30th birthday in a low-key bash surrounded by his closest friends and family. According to the Mail Online, the One Direction star enjoyed a clay pigeon shooting class with his girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, 24, at luxury members' club Honesberie in Warwickshire on Tuesday.
In the evening, they were joined by Liam's friends and family, while ending the celebration with a firework display. A source told The Sun: "Despite it being a landmark birthday, Liam hadn't actually planned anything before being taken ill. "He's still very much recovering and is gutted he won't be on the road in a few days time as planned, but his friends and family made sure the day was as special as possible. "To be honest, now he's been sober for over six months, Liam was never going to be partying into the early hours." Kate shared a sweet tribute to her beau for his birthday on Tuesday, posting a series of snaps from their romance.
She captioned the post: "30 never looked so good. Happy birthday love." Kate shared photos of the couple posing for selfies on holiday and enjoying a trip to Disney World.
Liam's low-key birthday celebrations come days after he announced he was cancelling his upcoming tour due to a "serious kidney infection," which led to him being hospitalised.
