During his tour, Zayn Malik dedicated a part of his performance to his bandmate Liam Payne, who passed away recently in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The tribute took place in Liam's hometown, adding a personal touch to the emotional moment.
Zayn, who found fame as one fifth of the chart-mauling group One Direction in 2010 alongside Liam, Niall Horan, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson, made the decision to quit in 2015. At the time, Malik, 31, spoke about his mental health and desires to live as normally as possible – despite his global fame.
At the end of Zayn's concerts, he shares a tribute to Liam during his 2024 track, Stardust. However, his sold-out concert in Liam's hometown of Wolverhampton had much more emotion to it. A screen read: "Liam Payne 1993 – 2024. Love you bro," alongside a pink heart. A third typed: "I cried as soon as he said it. So lovely to hear the devotion." "The way he spoke... You know he is still talking out loud to him," wrote another. Meanwhile a fifth commented: "Sounds like a touching tribute, gotta respect the brotherhood." Following Liam's devastating death, Zayn shared a rare social media post admitting he "never got to thank" his "brother" for supporting him during difficult times.
