by

As a devoted fan who has grown up with the magic of One Direction, I can’t help but feel the profound sorrow that grips us all following the untimely demise of Liam Payne. Having watched his journey from a boy band member to a solo artist, I was captivated by his vibrant energy and indomitable spirit.

At a recent concert in New York City, Shawn Mendes honored the late One Direction member Liam Payne. During the show on October 18th, he spoke about his encounters with the British singer and shared his sadness over his demise. He told the audience that Payne’s passing had left a deep sense of pain, and the news was heart-wrenching. In tribute, Mendes dedicated a new song called “Heart of Gold” to Liam Payne.

On the 16th of October, last Wednesday, Payne met his end following a fall from a balcony at a hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina. At the time of his passing, he was 31 years of age.

Mendes revealed that he got to interact with Payne on several occasions and was deeply moved by Payne’s compassionate and gentle personality. He expressed his grief over the demise of an individual who had left a profound imprint on countless lives. Mendes was grieving for the Teardrops singer, whose lively energy and spirit were simply extraordinary. It was disheartening for him to accept that he would no longer encounter someone as special as Liam again.

He told his audience, “It felt completely devastating. I got to meet him a couple of times, and he was a beautiful soul and his eyes gleamed — it was a beauty, shining into his eyes.”

The artist behind “Stitches” shared more insights on coping with grief, emphasizing not only the sadness for the departed but also the happiness derived from their constructive legacy. He expressed his feelings and sympathies towards Payne’s family, particularly his young son Bear, who is seven years old.

As an ardent admirer, I felt compelled to express, “The globe yearns for you, dear brother, and we’re collectively sending our hopes to your child and your household. I long for your presence. Tonight, this song goes out to you, Liam, from each one of us.” Mendes honored the occasion by performing Heart of Gold, a tune from his upcoming self-titled album, Shawn, which is set to grace our ears shortly.

The tragic news of Payne’s passing has deeply affected his fans, friends, and family members, including his ex-bandmates from One Direction. In a shared statement, Louis Tomlinson, Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, and Niall Horan expressed their sorrow over the loss of their ‘brother’. They all recalled fond memories they shared together while expressing sympathy to Payne’s loved ones, friends, and supporters as they mourned his death.
