Louis released a song earlier this month which was inspired by the grief he felt over his mum's death. It includes the lyrics: "I'll be living one life for the two of us."
"It was something I needed to get off my chest," the 27-year-old told Radio 1 Newsbeat at the time.
"I used to lean on my mum for a lot of things - anytime I needed advice on something she would be the first call I made."

The Doncaster native said playing the song to his sisters for the first time was "tough" because he "didn't want them to get caught up in the sadness".
But, he said, "as their big brother if I can sing those words it'll hopefully help them too".
