The air was cold, a sharp contrast to the humid 28 degree heat of Buenos Aires, where, just weeks before, I had seen his father, Geoff, grieving at the site of the singer's tragic fall.

In Argentina, I witnessed Geoff arrive in a haze of grief, determined and unrelenting.
He entered the hotel where Liam had drawn his last breath, driven by a father's instinct to protect and hold on to his child, even in death.
In the heat and under the weight of tragedy, he had refused to leave, clinging to the memory of his son.
