Liam Payne’s sister, Nicola Payne, shared a deeply emotional tribute following her brother’s tragic death. She recalled the heartbreaking moment she learned of his passing, saying, “When I saw the news pop up on my phone that you had left us, I went cold.” Nicola expressed her disbelief, spending days hoping the news was a mistake. She described Liam as an “angel” who lived for making people happy, praising his kindness and dedication to bringing joy to everyone he encountered.
Nicola also reflected on Liam’s passion for excellence, noting that he lived by the motto, “why bother doing something unless you are brilliant at it.” She added that her family always knew how kind-hearted and talented he was, even if the world sometimes misunderstood him based on fleeting judgments. Nicola assured that Liam’s son, Bear, would grow up knowing how much his father loved him.
Her tribute follows that of Danielle Peazer, Liam’s ex-girlfriend, who shared her own heartfelt message. Peazer revealed that Liam had reached out to her just weeks before his passing, expressing his happiness for the life she had built with her partner, Sonny Jay, and their daughter, Mia. Both tributes highlight the profound impact Liam had on those closest to him.
Liam’s death, caused by multiple traumas after falling from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, has led to an outpouring of grief from fans, family, and friends. Nicola’s touching words are a testament to her brother’s lasting legacy and the love he spread throughout his life.
