As a longtime fan of One Direction, I was deeply saddened to hear about the untimely passing of Liam Payne. His talent and charisma brought joy to countless fans around the world, myself included.
Rita Ora is honoring her friend Liam Payne‘s legacy.
On November 10th at the MTV European Music Awards, the 33-year-old performer paid tribute to the singer who passed away at 31 on October 16th, after a tragic fall from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Liam Payne was one of the most compassionate individuals I’ve encountered, and we were brainstorming various ways to pay tribute to him. I believe sometimes expressing our feelings can be a powerful form of honor,” the singer of “Your Song” expressed, fighting back tears. “He possessed an enormous heart and was always eager to lend a helping hand in any capacity.
Rita, who teamed up with Liam for the duet “For You” from the movie “50 Shades Freed,” found herself deeply moved as she recalled his radiance.
She went on, her voice trembling with emotion. ‘Wherever he went, he filled the space with happiness.’ She paused, ‘Liam made an indelible impact on the world we know. So, for a brief moment, let’s honor our dear friend Liam by recalling his memories.’
Rita’s tribute rolled into a video montage of the “Strip That Down” singer which was set to the One Direction song “Night Changes.”
Prior to the awards ceremony, Rita honored her friend with a tribute on social media.
Rita expressed her deep sorrow in an Instagram post dated Oct. 16, accompanied by pictures of herself and Liam. She spoke of his gentle spirit, which she would never forget. She cherished working with him immensely, finding him a delight both on and off stage. The heartbreaking news left her heartbroken. Her affectionate thoughts and prayers go out to his family and close ones. With the song ‘For You,’ a new layer of meaning has emerged for her.
On the subsequent day, Rita hurriedly exited the stage while attempting to debut her performance at a concert held in Osaka, Japan.
As the band started playing their tune, Rita addressed the audience, “I’m struggling to hit the right notes at the moment,” before exiting the stage, allowing the band to continue with the music while a picture of her and Liam displayed on the stage’s screen.
In 2018, the “Party” singer gushed about working on the debut with Liam.
Rita said at that moment, ‘I indeed found an excellent companion throughout the experience.’ She finds him genuinely kind and enjoyable to collaborate with.
Liam sustained fatal injuries and severe bleeding, inside and out, following his fall from the Casa Sur Palermo Hotel’s balcony in Buenos Aires. On November 7th, it was confirmed by Argentina’s Prosecutor’s office, led by prosecutor Andrés Esteban Madrea, that Liam’s death was not suicide as he had lost consciousness before the fall.
The toxicology examination determined that traces of alcohol, cocaine, and an prescribed antidepressant were found within Liam’s system.
In the midst of the ongoing probe regarding Liam’s unfortunate demise, officials have taken action against three individuals believed to be linked with the event.

Niall expressed gratitude for having the chance to see him recently, but little did he know that saying goodbye and hugging him that night would be a permanent farewell. It’s devastating.

It’s hard not to reflect on all the unshared conversations we could have had, Zayn wrote on Instagram. “I wish I could express my gratitude for standing by me during some of the toughest moments in my life. When I felt homesick as a 17-year-old boy, you always managed to offer a hopeful perspective and a comforting smile, reminding me that I had a friend who cared and loved me.
Despite being younger than I am, you’ve always shown more wisdom than me, exhibiting courage, firmness in your convictions, and a willingness to correct others when necessary. There were instances where our perspectives clashed due to this, but I must admit that I admired you for it quietly.
Zayn also called Liam “the most qualified” musician in the band “in every sense.”
As a devoted sibling, I can’t find the right words to express what I’ve lost when you departed from us. If only I could embrace you one last time, bid farewell in a way that feels fitting, and tell you how deeply I loved and admired you. My heart yearns for that moment.
