Harry Styles is now sharing his own tribute to his former One Direction band member Liam Payne after his tragic death.
Shortly after the group broke their silence on Thursday, the singer took to Instagram to express on his personal page how he is “truly devastated” about the loss of his dear friend. Along with a picture of Liam on stage, Harry wrote:
“I am truly devastated by Liam’s passing. His greatest joy was making other people happy, and it was an honour to be alongside him as he did it. Liam lived wide open, with his heart on his sleeve, he had an energy for life that was infectious. He was warm, supportive, and incredibly loving. The years we spent together will forever remain among the most cherished years of my life. I will miss him always, my lovely friend. My heart breaks for Karen, Geoff, Nicole, and Ruth, his son Bear, and all those around the world who knew and loved him, as I did.”
