In the car in LA and I just dropped... I'm pretty sure, again, my memory isn't good at these moments in time, but I think I just dropped Freddie off at school with my son and we were just about to pull back up home.
Yeah, I think that's how it went down.
It was actually... I found out through Niall.
He told me and then...
I, yeah, I think you said, Niall said something like, on the lines of, have you seen the news?
And I knew as soon as you said that, I kind of knew what it might have meant.
I had the same feeling that I had of Felicity, you know, and I think anyone has this when they're around someone who's struggling, you know,
