Nicole Scherzinger Pays Tribute to Liam Payne: ‘I Will Forever Cherish and Treasure the Time We Shared’


Nicole Scherzinger paid tribute to Liam Payne in a touching message to the singer whose career she helped launch on 'The X-Factor' in 2010.

In 2022, a previously unseen clip from 1D’s formation on X-Factor revealed that it was Scherzinger who was instrumental in putting solo singers Payne, Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson together as a group. On Wednesday, Buenos Aires police raided the luxury hotel where Payne was staying when he died, reportedly taking away a number of items, including hard drives and CCTV footage. Scherzinger is the latest star to post a tribute to Payne, following on the heels of statements from his former 1D bandmates, 5 Seconds of Summer’s Ashton Irwin, Justin Bieber and the singer’s girlfriend of two years, Kate Cassidy, among many others.
