Liam Payne Honored With Heartfelt BRIT Awards Tribute: ‘He Achieved So Much in the Short Time That He Was on This Earth’


Liam Payne, the late One Direction member who died last year, was honored with an emotional tribute at the 2025 Brit Awards in London.

Towards the end of the ceremony on Saturday night, host Jack Whitehall told the crowd it was time to honor “a very special person who meant so much to so many of the people in this room and to millions of you around the world.” “He achieved so much in the short time that he was on this earth, and was not only a supremely gifted musician, but an incredibly kind soul who touched the lives of everyone he came into contact with. Ezequiel Pereyra and Braian Paiz — the two men accused of selling Payne drugs — remain behind bars as they await trial, per a Feb. 19 report from Rolling Stone.
