One Direction Tours, Songs and News Update 2014: Mute Girl Reportedly Uses Voice After Kiss from Harry Styles
Can Harry Styles perform miracles? A kiss from the One Direction singer apparently gives a mute teenage girl back her voice.
Metro recently reported that Laura Yeates, from Dagenham, east London, had not been able to speak for six months, losing her voice because of laryngitis and pharyngitis. After four hospital visits and sessions with speech therapists disappointingly failed to cure her muteness, her mother Carly took her took her to see the British boyband at Wembley Stadium, where Styles helped the 15-year-old 1D fan get her voice back.
"On the day of the concert I was slightly upset because I would not be able to enjoy the atmosphere as much as the rest of the crowd," Laura said. "But we got so close to the stage and as Harry came over, he chucked water over us. I tried to scream, just to make him notice me, and when he blew a kiss in my direction, a scream came out.
"I said to my mom, 'Mom listen,' and as I tried to carry on screaming, my voice was coming back more and more," she said before adding, "no psychiatrist, no speech and language, no doctor or nurse could bring my voice back, but One Direction could."
Laura's mom was beyond happy and emotional about her daughter finally getting her voice back.
"I was gobsmacked, I cried," she said. "Then she called her father and he cried." Ever since the miraculous incident, Mrs. Yeates has undoubtedly become a proud fan of the "Midnight Memories" hitmaker. "I wasn't a big fan but I am now," she said. "She went in not talking and she came out talking, and she hasn't stopped."
Meanwhile, Harry Styles sparked speculations of branching out for his solo career when he reportedly set up a company called HAS Publishing Ltd with the band's accountant Alan McEvoy, both of them as directors. However, a 1D representative addressed the rumors to Mirror Online: "Harry has no current plans to release any solo material -- his focus is on writing and recording the new One Direction album, and then the world tour which continues in 2015
"The band is currently recording their fourth album. Their finances are of course private, but each of them are setting up their own companies as they all write separately for One Direction as well as together."
