Louis Tomlinson Pays Tribute to ‘Brother’ Liam Payne: ‘Struggling’ With ‘Saying Goodbye’

Louis Tomlinson shared a touching statement honoring Liam Payne, a day after the former One Direction member died after a fall in Buenos Aires.

“Liam was an incredible songwriter with a great sense of melody, we often spoke of getting back in the studio together to try and recreate the writing chemistry we had built up in the band,” he added. The tribute from Tomlinson came just minutes after he and his 1D bandmates Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, and Niall Horan, issued a joint statement, saying they are “completely devastated” by the news of Payne’s death. The new statements from 1D and Payne come several hours after the prosecutor’s office in Argentina shared a post-autopsy report revealing that the former One Direction member died of multiple traumas, internal and external bleeding, and a cranial injury as a result of his fall.
