Louis Tomlinson fans left with brutal injuries after freak hail stone at concert
Fans at a Louis Tomlinson Colorado concert were forced to run for cover after a freak hailstorm left music goers with broken bones.
Seven people were rushed to hospital and up to 90 people were injured at Louis Tomlinson's concert as they waited for the former One Direction star to appear on stage last night at the Red Rocks Park & Amphitheatre.

One fan showed a shocking video of the crowd running for cover, tweeting: "Tonight was the scariest night of my life. It started pelting people with hail at Red Rocks and my sister and I luckily found shelter under a sign.
