Liam's "devastated" former One Direction bandmates lead star tributes to the "warm, supportive and incredibly loving" singer
REST IN PEACE

HARRY STYLES

“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, Nicola and Ruth, his son Bear, and all those around the world who knew and loved him, as I did.”

ZAYN MALIK

“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. When I was missing home as a 17-year-old kid, you would always be there with a positive outlook and reassuring smile and let me know you were my friend and I was loved. Even though you were younger than me, you were always more sensible than me, you were headstrong, opinionated and gave no f**ks about telling people they were wrong. Even though we butted heads because of this a few times [laughing emoji] I always secretly respected you for it. When it came to the music Liam, you were the most qualified in every sense.

“I knew nothing in comparison. I was a novice child with no experience and you were already a professional. I was always happy to know, no matter what happened on stage we could always rely on you to know which way to steer the ship next. I lost a brother when you left us and can’t explain to you what I’d give to just give you a hug one last time and say goodbye to you properly and tell you that I loved and respected you dearly.
