"Happy birthday Mum. I love you x," he wrote. 

Deakin died last December after being diagnosed with an aggressive form of leukemia earlier in the year.

In January, the 25-year-old performer opened up about his mother's death in an interview with The Insider's Michael Yo, revealing that she had encouraged him not to give up.

"It's not something that I feel 100 percent comfortable talking too much about, but just quickly, when I first found out about the news I kind of did want to throw the towel in," he said at the time.
