Former One Direction members pay tribute to late bandmate Liam Payne

On October 18, 2024, Naill Horan took to Instagram to pen his feelings regarding Liam’s death, writing, “I’m absolutely devastated about the passing of my amazing friend, Liam. It just doesn’t feel real. Liam had an energy for life and a passion for work that was infectious. He was the brightest in every room and always made everyone feel -nappy and secure. All the laughs we had over the years, sometimes about the simplest of things, keep coming to mind through the sadness.”

Singer Zayn Malik also made a post celebrating the life and legacy of his friend, “Liam, I have found myself talking out loud to you, hoping you can hear me, I can’t help but think selfishly that there were so many more conversations for us to have in our lives. I never got to thank you for supporting me through some of the most difficult times in my life.
