Tomorrow is Liam Payne’s burial, and it is anticipated that all four of his former bandmates from One Direction will attend.
The 31-year-old former member of One Direction passed away from head injuries he sustained after falling from the balcony of his third-floor hotel suite in Buenos Aires, Argentina, a little more than a month ago.
Two weeks ago, when the Argentinean authorities conducted a thorough investigation into his death, his distraught father Geoff returned his son’s remains to Britain.
In order to renew his visa to reside in the United States and see his old bandmate Niall Horan perform.
Payne traveled to Argentina in September with his close friend Rogelio “Roger” Nores, who some have referred to as his manager.
Tomorrow, only his closest friends and relatives will be present for his private burial in the Home Counties, where he will be put to rest. A wake will follow.
To say their final goodbyes, former members of One Direction Harry Styles, 30, Horan, 31, Zayn Malik, 31, and Louis Tomlinson, 32, are anticipated to attend.
Following Payne’s untimely death, Tomlinson, Malik, Horan, and Styles issued a joint statement in which they expressed their “complete devastation.”
“There will be more to say when everyone is able to,” they stated.
But for the time being, we will take some time to mourn and come to terms with the death of our beloved brother.
We shall always cherish the moments we had with him. We are now thinking about his family, friends, and the people that shared our love for him.
He will be sorely missed. Liam, Louis, Zayn, Niall, and Harry all adore you. Styles, Malik, and Tomlinson all went on to share their own tributes.
Styles expressed his sadness on Instagram, writing that he will “miss him forever.” Making other people happy was his greatest delight, and it was an honor to be with him while he did it.
“Liam had an infectious enthusiasm for life and lived life to the fullest, with his heart on his sleeve.” He was kind, encouraging, and deeply affectionate.
Our time together will always rank among my favorite memories of my life. My dear buddy, I shall always miss him.
“I am deeply saddened for Karen, Geoff, Nicola and Ruth, his son Bear, and everyone else who knew and loved him as much as I did.”
Tomlinson was’really struggling with the concept of saying goodbye’, he revealed in a separate heartfelt tribute.
On his Instagram page, he shared a photo of the two of them performing, with Payne tenderly placing his arm over Tomlinson’s shoulder.
If Payne’s kid Bear “ever needs me,” Tomlinson added, he would be an uncle and “tell him stories of how amazing his dad was.”
“Talking on the phone for hours and remembering all the thousands of incredible moments we shared together is a luxury I thought I’d have with you for life,” he said. “I’m so grateful that we got even closer since the band.”
It was not meant to be, even though I would have liked to take the stage with you one again. “I wish I had the opportunity to say goodbye and express my love for you again.”
“I love you, Payno, my brother, my boy, and one of my best friends.” Rest well, X’. According to Malik, he had been speaking out to Payne in the hopes that he may be heard.
He claimed he had “lost a brother when you left us” in his own heartbreaking homage. He added, “And I can’t express to you how much.
I would love to simply give you a final hug, say goodbye in a proper manner, and let you know that you are loved and respected.”
“I will always treasure the memories I have of you in my heart.” Other than being completely saddened, there are no words that can adequately describe or justify how I feel right now.
Wherever you are right now, I hope you’re doing well, at peace, and aware of how much you’re loved. I adore you, buddy.
