Harry Styles Posted An Emotional Statement About Liam Payne’s Death

Liam and Harry, along with Zayn Malik, Niall Horan, and Louis Tomlinson, shot to worldwide fame in 2010 as part of British boy band One Direction, who competed on the X Factor.
The group parted ways in 2016, with each member embarking on solo careers.
“We’re completely devastated by the news of Liam’s passing. In time, and when everyone is able to, there will be more to say,” the statement read. “But for now, we will take some time to grieve and process the loss of our brother, who we loved dearly.”
“The memories we shared with him will be treasured forever,” the statement continued. “For now, our thoughts are with his family, his friends, and the fans who loved him alongside us. We will miss him terribly.”
“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,” he wrote.
“The years we spent together will forever remain among the most cherished years of my life. I will miss him always, my lovely friend,” he said.
“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,” Harry said.
Harry’s message comes shortly after his mom, Anne Twist, addressed Liam’s death with an emotional three-word statement.
“Just a boy,” she wrote on Instagram alongside a broken heart emoji.
