In a heart-warming (and, we’ll be honest, tear-jerking) music video for his new song ‘Two of Us’, the former-One Direction member took 83-year-old Richard out on the town to tick off some of his bucket list items.
“A month or so ago I met an amazing man called Richard,” the singer said on social media. “He had a few things he wanted to do so I thought I’d help him out.”
“Richard is a classic example of a fearless man who in light of tragedy still pushes himself to live with as much laughter and happiness as possible. I hope you enjoy watching this video as much as I did making it.”
Richard lost his wife Pat to Alzheimer’s and his mother Johannah to leukaemia – both in the same year in 2016. But three years later, after getting through the heartache, Richard wanted to live his best life and fulfill some life-long dreams.
Together, Louis and Richard ride in a helicopter, hit the race track, visit a tattoo parlour, ride a massive roller coaster and sing to a packed arena.
At the end of the clip, Louis encourages his fans to donate to the Alzheimer Society, Cancer Research UK, and Bluebell Wood Children’s Hospice.
