Niall Horan Says His Knees Are 'F***ed' and His Hips Are Failing, Fears Hip Replacement

He links the deterioration to a family history of joint replacements.

Overview

  • In a candid interview on The Zach Sang Show, the 32-year-old said his knees are "f***ed" and his hips are "going," adding he fears needing a hip replacement.
  • He cited heredity, noting his father, 66, recently had a knee replaced, underwent a hip operation 18 months ago, and is preparing for another hip surgery.
  • He added that an uncle has had both knees replaced, which he says backs up his view that joint trouble runs in the family.
  • Horan has long dealt with knee problems, including reconstructive surgery in 2014 and injections in his other knee in 2023 after a torn tendon.
  • He is promoting his album Dinner Party, due June 5, and a six-date UK arena tour in September, and says a track titled End of an Era pays tribute to the late Liam Payne.
