A month after releasing his single 'Two Of Us', singer Louis Tomlinson has dropped the incredibly emotional video for the song. In the video, Louis meets Richard, an 83-year-old who lost his wife to Alzheimer's Disease two years ago.

Richard's wife passed away in the same month the former One Direction singer lost his mum Johannah Deakin. And the pair bonded throughout the video, as Richard was keen to complete some of his bucket list items, including flying a helicopter, riding a rollercoaster and driving racing cars.

During the video the pair chat about their losses with Louis telling how his mum passed away following a battle with leukemia at the age of just 43, as Richard told of losing his wife Pat.

"I'm sorry to hear about your mum at such an early age though Louis," Richard told the singer, with Louis replying, "She was 43, young yeah and we're a big family so it hit us hard."

Louis fans have been quick to leave supportive messages, with one saying, 'The only MV that made me cry. Louis ur so kind and sweet. Ur mom will be so proud of u. And I'm so proud to be your fans 😇', and other saying, 'Literally cried until the end. 😭'. [sic]

'Two Of Us' is the first song to be released from Louis in months, after his successful stint as a judge on last year's The X Factor. It is believed that Louis' new track is about losing his mum with heartbreaking lyrics such as, "You'll never know how much I miss you, the day that they took you, I wish it was me instead."
