Louis Tomlinson Reacts to ‘Brother’ Liam Payne’s Death in New Statement

‘ Liam was in my opinion the most vital part of One Direction,’ Louis wrote in an emotional statement about Liam.

While sharing an Instagram photo of them together, the former One Direction member called the late 31-year-old English vocalist a “brother” and credited him for “shaping” the band. Louis added that Liam “was an incredible song writer with a great sense of melody” and noted that they “often spoke of getting back in the studio together to try and recreate the writing chemistry [they] had built up in the band.” “I’m so grateful that we got even closer since the band, speaking on the phone for hours, reminiscing about all the thousands of amazing memories we had together is a luxury I thought I’d have with you for life,” Louis added.
