Niall Horan has expressed his heartbreak over the passing of his former One Direction bandmate, Liam Payne. In an emotional Instagram post, the Irish singer described Liam as an “amazing friend” and “brother,” sharing his disbelief over the sudden tragedy. On Friday morning, Horan wrote, “I’m absolutely devastated about the passing of my amazing friend, Liam.” He revealed that Liam died after falling from the balcony of his hotel in Argentina, where he had travelled to attend one of Horan's concerts.

Reflecting on their time together in One Direction, Horan recalled, “Liam had an energy for life and a passion for work that was infectious.” He remembered Liam as “the brightest in every room” who always made others feel happy and secure. Horan reminisced about the countless laughs they shared, saying, “All the laughs we had over the years, sometimes about the simplest of things, keep coming to mind through the sadness.” He felt fortunate to have seen Liam shortly before his passing, emphasizing how he didn't realize that their goodbye would be final.

In closing, Horan sent his love and condolences to Liam's family, including his son, Bear. “It’s heartbreaking. Thank you for everything, Payno. Love you, brother,” he concluded, signing off as “Nialler.”
