Harry, Zayn, Niall & Louis of One Direction release joint statement paying tribute to Liam Payne:
“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. 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. For now, our thoughts are with his family, his friends, and the fans who loved him alongside us. We will miss him terribly. We love you Liam.”
a member of one of your favorite childhood bands dying is such a deeply shocking and unsettling feeling. i don’t even know how to begin to process this
at the end of the day i don’t justify his actions at all but he was a person who was a huge part of our childhood our favorite band growing up . he is a father he’s a son . he at least deserves our respect on that end.
i think this really affects everyone because at the end of the day a lot of us supported one direction at both same and different of points of our lives. so to see someone pass so young literally some of our ages. it’s really like a punch to the chest seeing this.
