October 19th 2024.
My dear brother Liam Payne, a young and talented star who captured the hearts of millions, has passed away at the age of 31. My heart is shattered and I am struggling to understand where he has gone. I know that many of you are also grieving his loss and my heart goes out to each and every one of you.
As one of his two older sisters, I have always been proud of Liam and his achievements. I have shared my love and admiration for him publicly, but I have never really opened up about what it's like to be his sister. Liam was not just a brother to me, he was also my best friend. His infectious laughter and spot-on impressions always had me in stitches. He loved making people laugh and see how much joy he could bring into their lives.
I still remember when Liam's journey to stardom began in 2010, after he auditioned for The X Factor and was selected to be a part of One Direction alongside his bandmates Louis, Zayn, Niall, and Harry. I couldn't believe how quickly his life changed and how he became a household name. But to me, he was still just Liam, the little brother who moved out at 17 to chase his dreams.
I remember how I finally passed my driving test during The X Factor live show weeks because I couldn't stand the thought of not being able to drive to him whenever I wanted. I would often go to his hotel after work just to spend some time with him. And let me tell you, Liam loved Wagamama so much that he would have it morning, noon, and night if he could!
I cherished the moments when I would pick him up after work, especially after concerts. He would play me new songs and we would have our own mini 1D concert. Liam loved being a part of One Direction, he loved his brothers, and we would talk about it for hours. He would play me songs that were never released and we would sing along together.
Liam and I had a special bond. He knew he could call me anytime and I would drop everything to be there for him. I would always drive him home if he needed to come back and just be with family. He would always tell me he loved me at the end of our phone calls. It was clear that music ran through his veins and he was destined for stardom from a young age.
I remember writing notes on my phone to remind myself of things to tell him when I saw him next. I loved seeing him grow and become one of music's biggest stars. I would drive to see him every weekend during The X Factor live shows, just to support him and be there for him.
Liam, my brain is still trying to catch up with what has happened. I am struggling to understand where you have gone. I wish I could just drive to your house and find you sitting there, writing a song or working on your art. I miss your kindness and your infectious smile. I am proud to call you my brother.
I know that you faced many challenges and struggles in the last few years, but you never let them stop you from pursuing your dreams and making people happy with your music. You always wanted to be loved and accepted, and I hope that you can see the outpouring of love that you never received during your time with us.
Thank you for changing my life, Liam. Thank you for the incredible memories. Thank you for being the best brother and friend I could have ever asked for. I promise to take care of Bear and make sure that he knows how incredible his dad was and how much he was idolized.
To all of Liam's fans, thank you for your love and support. I know that he would have been overwhelmed by all the love and messages you have sent. Let's continue to honor his legacy and keep his music alive. Liam, you will always hold a special place in my heart. Rest easy, my dear brother. I will love you forever.
