I miss you Liam, I thought I accepted for a while as I watched the others releasing albums and songs but something feels off and now I’m back to avoid anything 1D related it hurts so much physically I can’t explain it, I’ve deleted TikTok and Twitter cuz I can’t handle another sad edit of you, I hate my phone cuz somehow it finds a way to remind me that you’re gone no matter how hard I try to avoid it, I don’t know how long this will last but hopefully not to long, I want to be happy again without without something feeling missing, I though people were over exaggerating when they say a piece of their heart is gone but turns out it’s true and I don’t know how to fill it, the best I can do is fill my head with noise never leaving a second to think, always engaged with something I’m buried in books and hobbies as a mere escape but each time I put my head on my pillow it all comes back, I can’t handle the 16th of every month, I can’t handle the fact that it’ll be two years this October, I can’t handle the fact that you’re gone.

Happy valentines Liam 🤍 I somehow miss you more every single day, remembering you’re gone never gets easier either 💔 love you 🤍

Payno it’s been 10 months without you now and it still hurts that you’re gone. I have loved one direction since I was 4 years old and now I’m 19 and still loving one direction to this day the day I found out you passed I was babysitting my niece that just turned 4 in April I saw a notification come up from Twitter and it said Liam Payne died and I was like hold up what I immediately looked up your name on google and there was news articles after articles talking about it and my immediately sent me a text with a photo In love memory Liam Payne 1993-2024 and said omg Brynley and I immediately was like omg it’s really I thought it was a sick joke but it wasn’t I didn’t cry at first it was just pure shock until later that night I broke down badly I still cry over you and I’m still grieving I go outside a lot and talk to you hoping you can hear me I vent to you a lot and I always tell you how much I love you and would’ve tried helping if I was there on that day I look up at the sky and smile knowing your up there in peace and not dealing with bullying and all the hate that you got I love you so much Payno you are very loved and just know I think about you on the day to day basis I look at photos of you and smile cause it brings me peace knowing we have memories of you I wish I could’ve saved you like you saved me always remember Liam you are very loved by me, other fans, the boys, bear, Cheryl, your family and friends. Whenever it rains I always think your having water fights with us like you did with Louis on stage and that always brings a smile onto my face. I love you so much never forget that Leroy🕊️♥️

Hi Liam I’ve been missing you a bit extra these days, you’ve been showing up everywhere even in my dreams which are the closest I’ll ever get to meeting you…

# data[].attributes.body
My Liam, how are you? I think I'm fine, I guess, you know. If there's one thing I deeply regret, it's not having become a fan and shown all my love when you were still here. I never told you that I learned your name complete with the other boys' when I was in the cnco fandom. I never told you that I wondered who the boy who sang first on WMYB was. I never told you that I saw your collaboration with J Balvin on a music channel in Argentina. I never told you that I remember your promotion of LP1 and Strip than down. I never told you that you saved me in the moments when I needed to clear my mind. I never told you how beautiful you were. I never told you that I was on your side when those accusations from that liar Maya Henry came out. I never told you how much I loved you and how important you were to me. I'm sorry for leaving you alone and not supporting you, but I promise that I will carry you in my heart and keep the good memories you left me. I love you my angel 🤍

# data[].attributes.body
Liam, joy personified.

It has been six months. I can't believe I'm even typing those words. Six long months without your smile and your infectious laugh. All this time without the funny little Snapchat and adventures you took us on.

Everyday I wake up and in the hazy between fully away and sleep I still see you. I still see your smile and your generous heart.

Until the day comes when I can see you face to face, I'll be here sharing your stories, remembering your legacy. Loving you with my entire heart.

Lima beans you are incredibly missed. ❤️

# data[].attributes.body
Oh Payno, my sunshine boy. I’m sorry the world wasn’t kinder to you, you deserved happiness and love. We’ll keep your memory alive <3 even though it should be you

# data[].attributes.body
Hi Lima Bean,

It's been a while since we last saw you. It's never the same.

I really don't know what to say but I guess grief does get easier. I'm forever grateful for you. And I promise I'll try my very best to live up to your legacy by checking on our fanmily and the boys.

I love you always Liam James Payne, forever in my heart.

# data[].attributes.body
**Dear Liam,**

I’ve been sitting here for a while, trying to figure out how to start this letter. It’s funny how words can feel so small when you’re trying to say something big, isn’t it? I guess I’ll just start by saying thank you—thank you for everything you’ve given us, everything you’ve shared, and everything you probably didn’t even realize you were leaving behind.

I remember the first time I heard your voice. It was back in the One Direction days, when the world seemed to spin a little faster every time one of your songs came on the radio. You had this way of singing that felt so honest—like you were letting us in on a secret, even in the middle of all that chaos. “What Makes You Beautiful” was everywhere, and I’d catch myself humming it without even realizing. But it wasn’t just the catchy tunes; it was you, your energy, the way you’d smile in those early interviews like you couldn’t quite believe this was your life. I think that’s what drew so many of us to you—how real you seemed, even when the spotlight tried to turn you into something larger than life.

When the band took its break, I’ll admit I was nervous. Not just because I’d miss the music, but because I wondered what it’d be like for you. You’d been part of something so massive, and I couldn’t imagine how it felt to step out of that and find your own path. But then you did. “Strip That Down” came out, and I remember thinking, Okay, he’s got this. You found your sound, your stride, and it was so clear you were pouring yourself into it. I loved watching you grow—seeing you experiment, take risks, and figure out who Liam Payne was outside of the five-piece puzzle we’d all gotten used to.

I hope you knew how much that meant to us. Not just the music, but the way you’d talk about your life, your son, your struggles. You didn’t have to let us in like that, but you did. I think that’s what made you special—you weren’t afraid to be human. When you’d post about Bear or share little snippets of your day, it felt like a reminder that behind the fame, you were just a guy trying to figure it all out, like the rest of us. And when things got tough—because I know they did—I hope you felt the love we were all sending your way, even if it was quiet sometimes.

I wish I could’ve told you this sooner, but life has a way of sneaking up on you, doesn’t it? I wish I could’ve said how your music got me through some rough days—how “Bedroom Floor” made me dance when I didn’t feel like moving, or how “For You” with Rita Ora felt like a little escape when I needed one. I wish I could’ve thanked you for the late-night X Factor auditions, the goofy moments on stage, the way you’d laugh and make everyone else laugh too. Those things stick with a person, you know? They become part of the soundtrack to our lives.

Since you’ve been gone, the world feels a little quieter. It’s strange to think you’re not out there somewhere, working on a new track or posting one of those funny updates that’d light up my phone. But I keep coming back to this idea that what you left behind isn’t gone—it’s still here, in the songs, in the memories, in the way you touched so many people without even trying. I read somewhere that you were always the responsible one in the band, the one who’d keep things steady. I think you did that for us too, in your own way.

I hope you’re at peace now, Liam. I hope wherever you are, you can feel the love that’s still pouring out for you. I hope you know that you weren’t just a voice on a track or a face on a poster—you were someone who made people feel seen, feel heard, feel a little less alone. I’ll keep playing your music, telling my friends about that time you made me smile, and holding onto the pieces of you that you shared with us.

So, thank you, Liam. For the melodies, the moments, and the man you were. You’ll always be a part of the story—for me, for so many of us. Rest easy, mate. You’ve earned it.

With all my love,

A Fan Who’ll Never Forget

Dear Liam,

I miss you more everyday. I stay up at night thinking of you, wanting to talk to you or just hold you tight and never let you go. You were so loved and appreciated in the band, as a solo artist and even now. Thank you for saving lives, helping others, writing beautiful music that gets us through the day or laughing & jumping around in our rooms. I will always carry you in my heart, make you proud until we meet again so we can hug tightly. Love you ❤️

Dear Liam…

It’s been nearly five months. I still don’t quite understand it all. I’m trying my best to get through each day, but it’s hard sometimes. I still ache and yearn for you. I wish you could come back.

Love you, miss you, to infinity sunshine

Es extraño, amar tanto a alguien que no es ni de tu familia, que jamás viste. Qué jamás conociste...

Hoy agradezco por tantas canciones que lograron salvarme. Por cada letra que sentí tan personal. Gracias a las personas que conocí en esta época tan hermosa de mi vida. Gracias por los conciertos, los vídeos, las entrevistas, el 1D day, que realmente alegraban mi día.

Gracias por demostrarme que los sueños se cumplen, gracias por hacerme sentir amada y querida por alguien. Aún a una semana después de tu partida no logro creer que ya no estás, que mi sueño de conocerte jamás se va a cumplir, que mi sueño de volver a verlos juntos no se va a cumplir ya nunca.

Gracias por las huellas que dejaste en cada uno de nuestros corazones, porque somos miles de fans que te aman tanto como yo.

Tu partida no deja la enseñanza de que vivimos batallas que no conocemos, que no sabemos las palabras de odio cuánto daño pueden generar en nosotros. Que la vida se puede esfumar en un segundo y no sabemos cuando va a pasar. Porque para morir solo se necesita estar vivos.

En verdad, de todo corazón deseo que tú estés mucho mejor allá que acá. Que te estés dando cuenta de todas las personas que te aman al rededor del mundo. Que dejaste un legado en esta industria y que además dejaste a alguien que va a crear du propio camino con las enseñanzas que tu le dejaste y ese es tu hijo, Bear.

En verdad te amo Liam y deseó que ese ángel en el que te convertiste también nos ayude a todas y todos a seguir sin ti.

Te amo Liam❤️

Dear Liam, It's been almost 2 months without you. It's hard to believe it's been that long. we are figuring out what happened because you were set up. There are so many coverups happening, it's crazy. I wish you were here to see zayn on tour, but he's bringing you everywhere on tour with him. We love you so so so so much Liam, and we miss you so much. Rest easy payno.

Dear Liam,

It still doesn't feel real that you're not here anymore, when the news broke I was in shock and just broke down crying. I've been crying on and off since I found out, as it's just devastating. Thoughts are with your family, friends, Harry, Niall, Louis and Zayn and all us fans whose hearts are broken. You will be missed and were very loved, very sorry that you didn't receive the help you needed, I hope you are at peace now. RIP Liam Payne.

All my love,

Sophie H (Directioner since 2010) ❤️ xx

Dear Payno,

It's been days since the news broke out and I still don't know how to believe that you're not here anymore. I hate that the world is so full of hatred and you're not here to make it a little more bearable. I hope that wherever you are, you are at peace and know how much everyone loves you. This world never deserved your kindness and love but I find myself very lucky that I get to know you. People say that you're just a celebrity but to me you are the light in the dark, the brave one, who smiles and laughs through life despite whatever life throws at you. I'm so sorry that I never got to tell you how much I love you but I guess I would never be able to, words will never be enough to describe how much you meant to me. I wish I could've met you and hug you but maybe not in this universe. I'm so sorry that I failed you, that I didn't stand up for you, that I didn't fight for you. Your smile will forever be imprinted in my heart reminding me to be brave through all the challenges of life. I love you Liam, I wish I could've told you this personally. You changed my life.❤️

# data[].attributes.body
Dear Liam,

My anchor and my heart. My savior and my soul.

I cant begin to explain how much I am in debt to you for saving my life on multiple occasions. When I was at my lowest your voice and love reached beyond the screen. Somehow you grabbed onto me and lifted me out of the darkness. I always thought I would have a chance in my lifetime to thank you for everything you have done for me. I thought I had a lifetime to give you all the love you deserve. I'm aching, like a part of my heart left with you. But you are not gone. I would actually like to think that you left us with the best parts of you. Your music, your writing, your quarantine videos and, of course, your love for your fans and family.

Liam, I consider you my family and a vital person in my heart and life. Thank you for always being there. Thank you for loving us. Thank you for showing us the best parts of you.

I'll count the days until I finally see you.

Rest easy my love.

I love you,

Sarah

Liam

It’s been a week now that you’re gone 💔

Still feels unreal to think… impossible 🥺😣

Words still miss me but I know one thing. We’ll love you forever and always ♥️

I know you finally found peace up there in heaven and that’s what comfort me in a way.

But it’s not enough, you should’ve found peace on heart alive!!

This pain

This emptiness

This sadness

…

you were such a nice guy with a big heart… why?

At least memories are always there and you’ll always live through them

You’ll always be here in my mind and heart ♥️

I love you ♥️

Rest in peace 🕊️

Liam,

I hope you know how loved and adored you are. 🩷 The outpouring of love I’ve seen for you from so many people across time and space is heartwarming, but also gut wrenching at the same time. Everyone came together and it was beautiful, though I wish it could have been under better circumstances. I wish you could have witnessed the love your family, friends, and fans have for you, but I know you feel it.

Today marks one week since you left us and I still can’t believe you’re gone. One moment I feel okay and the next it feels like I’m experiencing everything that has happened over the last week all over again and all at once. I don’t know if anything will ever truly be normal again.

I want to thank you for taking me and my best friend Jen along for a wild ride these last twelve years. I was so against One Direction when you guys first formed the band and there was no logical reason for that. I didn’t except to fall in love with your music and all of your personalities in 2012. If only I could go back to that time now. I’m so glad I was we able to see you perform four times, including once on the floor where I got to experience an infamous Lilo water fight. 😆

Your virtual concerts were flawless and I was so certain you would be releasing your new music soon because I know you put your heart and soul into it.

Thank you for sharing your world with us and thank you for showing us how to be good human beings. You truly were too good for this world. 🫶🏻

Now, you’ll be in every sunrise and sunset that I see. You’ll be in the clouds and in the rain. You’ll be in the wind and in the stars.

Miss you Big Payno!! Sleep well and see you later. You can rest now. 🤍🕊️

Love,

April

Dear Liam,

I still can't believe you are gone. I miss you very much and so does everyone else. When I first saw something about your passing I dismissed it because there was no way it was true. The whole world was shook by your death, even people who weren't fans. You left an impact down here and you will always be remembered. Rest in peace Liam.🕊

# data[].attributes.body
Dear Liam,

Today it is one week since you left us to go to heaven. The fans still have a lot of questions about what happened to you the last few hours. We miss you and I hope that you’re smiling from above when you see that we are remembering you and singing your songs. The fandom is heartbroken that we lost you. It will never be the same again. Your brothers posted on social media and made sure that fans can grieve. Louis made sure to look after your beautiful boy Bear. Do you look after Johanna and Fizzy for us and for Louis? Payno we miss you so much but it is not the end we will see your face again. Thank you for everything and making my childhood the best. We love you 🥹❤️

Never in my life did I think I would be writing this. I honestly have no idea what to say. I woke up angry that someone had eaten my pancake so I didn't go online that morning. Later in the day, I heard someone say that Liam had died. I didn't believe them, I thought it was just a really cruel joke. And then I heard another person talk about it and naturally I dismissed it because there was no way that my lima bean was gone. Liam, thank you for every time you made me smile. Thank you for giving us your beautiful smile. Thank you for making me laugh. Thank you for letting us hear your beautiful voice sing. Thank you for being you. Thank you for staying so fucking strong. Thank you for your compassion, your care, and your support. Thank you for getting us through quarantine. Thank you for speaking the truth. You were screaming for help but the people who needed to hear you didn't. You shouldn't have had to die for people to love you, for people to hear you and for people to understand you. You stayed strong for us for so long and I am truly heartbroken that we failed you. I keep hoping that this is all just a terrible nightmare and I will wake up gasping and shaking in a pool of my tears because anything would be better than this. I'm sorry that you couldn't get the help you needed. In another universe, you get to live a long, happy and healthy life where you are free from all the evil in this one. You were fighting so fucking hard. Shame on anyone who ever called you an attention seeker. You were just trying to find a flicker of hope in a world that wasn't kind to you. My heart shatters every time I think about how you died alone, so far from your loved ones and you weren't even aware of what you were doing. It was just you and the demons you were battling. It feels so incredibly wrong to talk about you in past tense. You are still with me in every sense. I will never stop loving you. You were too young. You still had your whole life ahead of you. I keep thinking about the album you wrote that you were so excited to share with us. And the song you wrote for the boys. I want to go back to 2010 and tell the innocent 16 year old boy to go home. No one deserves the abuse you and the boys went through. I owe my life to you and I wish that yours didn't have to end like this. You deserved to go in peace after living a long and fulfilling life. You deserved to go on your own terms. You deserved to get a chance to say goodbye, to be heard, and to be understood. I hope that it was quick and painless. I hope that you are no longer suffering. Every time I look up at the night sky, I will search for you among the stars. I hope that we can give you the justice and peace that you deserve. Fly high my lima bean, you will not be forgotten 🕊️💔

The entertainment industry, acclaimed for its glamour and stardom, is equally infamous for the enormous pressure it exerts on the mental health of artists. Resultant issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, substance misuse and even suicide are alarmingly high. According to research, performers are 2-3 times more likely to suffer from these issues compared to the general population.

In recent news of Liam Payne's tragic death as many others, the entertainment industry needs to be held accountable and be responsible to the welfare of their artists. We seek to implore lawmakers to create legislation safeguarding the mental health of artists within the industry.

Such a law would necessitate regular mental health check-ups, adequate rest periods, and the presence of mental health professionals on-set, including any ongoing support during their career. It will ensure a healthier, safer, and more conducive working environment for artists to cultivate their talents reducing psychological distress. This would also include early interventions to protect and minimise before it's too late. Furthermore, the increasing rate of musicians who die before the age of 35, is concerning. We need to act now!

The artist's role is invaluable not just in the world of entertainment but also in society. Let us ensure their protection and wellbeing. Your signature could be a lifeline for these talented individuals, contributing to a larger movement of mental health awareness and care in industries worldwide. Please, sign the petition.

Thank you for being one fifth of my childhood.

As I try to keep on living...

Today I went to work in the office. It was strange, no one is still on that Wednesday evening. Everybody actually went out on the weekend. People laughed, joked, lived with their loved ones. I am still on that Wednesday evening, hoping I'm gonna wake up and realise it was all a big mistake and it actually didn't happen.

I am still angry with how the world treated you. I am still struggling with the perspective that I won't ever see you again. But I tried to do better today. Couldn't went out to lunch time with my work friends, just stayed at the office and had my lunch on my own because what do you mean they are all laughing and having fun and I'm supposed to do too? I can't. It is still painful. So I stayed at the office.

I didn't laugh or joked with anything or anyone at the office for the first time in the almost three years I've been working there. People found it strange but didn't say shit about it and I'm thankful for that because I would've lost my cool if anyone said anything.

A girl that works with me said that it looked like my inner child was suffering. I'm always being kinda childish at work, I do like to joke around and laugh at anything but as I didn't today, she felt it. And when she told me that just as I was leaving to go pick up my son on school and go home, I felt it too. And I told her it was not only my inner child that was suffering, but my teenager and adult self too. Because all of those versions or me are mourning and I'm not ashamed of that.

I hope you are cool wherever you are, and staying in a state of peace you never got while alive. I hope you laughed today wherever you are, because your laugh was such a good sound to hear and as I go back to your videos to hear your laugh, I hope there are people being graced to hear your laugh and see your smile. I hope you found peace Liam, you deserved to.

I missed you today. Hope to see you again soon ❤️‍🩹

Liam…

Thanks. Thank you for everything Liam. You've marked my life, my soul and my heart for life. I wish I could have told you all this, met you... but even more I wish I could have seen you live. You allowed me to live, to not give up in the most difficult moments. I wish I could have had an impact, helped you like you did to me and so many others... I can't believe you're gone... that I won't see your stories, your tweets, hear your laugh, and your voice again... I hope that from up there you can see all the unconditional love we have for you and always will. You're engraved in me forever, I'll never forget you. I loved you, I love you and I will love you forever.

Rest in peace, lots of love

Hey Liam,

This is the third try to write something to you, I’ve been talking to you a lot the last few days but I didn’t know what to write down. I guess I still don’t know. It’s still so devastating that you’re gone, I still can’t believe it; but I do hope that you have peace now.

That’s my biggest hope, that you’re okay and I also hope you know, that you are so, so loved. I love you, even though I hadn’t been your fan for long, it was long enough to see your kind soul, how brave you were, how big your heart was and to know that you deserved better than what was done to you.

RIP

Dear Liam,

My angel.

It’s so hard to pour my heart right now. I still can’t believe the fact that u are not here. It feels like a some sort of weird joke. I was devastated by the news and i still can’t cope with it properly. You were one of my favorite people in this world. You still are. I first loved you as a 12 year old girl and i still love you as a 24 year old one. You made me laugh, made me feel like someone really care about me. I was a depressed and a lonely kid while growing up and you were the one make me feel happy when i was at my lowest. Your videos, songs and voice kept me strong. You were my comfort person even though you didn’t know who i am. You were like an angel, a sweet soul from heaven. I know you are in a good place now, i know you are watching us and hearing our hearts. I am so proud of you. I love you and always will.

Dear Liam,

I’m trying to process the news of your passing. I feel like I just got punched in the gut. I was at a restaurant when I heard the news. At first I found it hard to believe. I thought it was some cruel joke, a hoax, impossible to believe.

Now, as reality sets in, it’s hitting me harder than ever, and the sadness and grief are feeling real.

I was utterly obsessed with your music as a teenager. One Direction was more than just a band- you were my passion, my escape, my everything. I spent countless hours listening to your songs. I also fangirled with my friends and dreamt of concerts. Your songs captured my emotions, validated my feelings, and helped me to navigate my adolescence.

Songs like “Little Things”, “Act My Age” and albums like “Take Me Home” and “Made in the AM” were my anthems, my joy and my comfort. I cherished every moment and memory associated with your music.

I was lucky enough to attend two of your concerts, and those nights are forever etched into my memory. The excitement, the energy, and the sense of community- it was unforgettable. Seeing you perform live was a dream come true. I felt so alive.

Your impact on my life was immense, Liam. You helped to shape my teenage years. Your legacy will be etched in my heart forever.

I’m grateful for the memories, the concerts, and the laughter your music brought me.

Even though you’re gone now, your music remains, a timeless reminder of the happiness and joy you brought to my life. I will continue to hold on to those memories, cherish your songs, and celebrate the wonderful person you were.

Thank you for sharing your talent, your passion, and your energy with the world. It’s not goodbye, it’s see you later.

Love,

Sarah

Liam, my heart shattered when you left, and it still feels unreal.

Thank you for everything ❤️ you brought so much light into so many lives through your talent and spirit 🩷✨️

I’m sorry the world failed you, and you didn't feel the love you deserved.

I hope you can see now how much love everyone is showing.

I pray you’ve found peace in a better place. 🕊🤍

Rest easy, Payno. You’ll always be in our hearts ❤️❤️❤️

My precious Liam,

you were more than just a name, more than just a face on a screen or a voice on the radio. To so many, you were a light in the darkest of times, a hope when everything seemed to fall apart. You saved me, you saved countless others, just by being who you were—genuine, kind, and so deeply connected to the people who needed you most. Your smile was the most precious and beautiful thing to me, a light that could brighten even the darkest days.

As I think about my One Direction memories, I realize how much the band saved me. The music, the laughter, and the moments we shared as fans created a sense of belonging that I’ll always cherish. Thank you to all the boys for everything you brought into our lives. But now, it feels empty without you, Liam. One Direction will always be special, but it’s hard to imagine it without your voice, your spirit, and your presence. You were such an integral part of that journey, and your absence leaves a void that can never be filled.

Though we never met, it always felt like I knew you. You spoke to my heart in ways no one else could. Your words, your music, and your presence gave me strength when I had none. In moments of despair, it was your voice that brought me comfort. You showed me how to hold on when everything felt like it was slipping away. I wanted so badly to meet you one day, to tell you how much you meant to me, how your existence gave mine meaning. But now, all I can do is hold onto the memories you gave us—the songs, the laughter, the moments where it felt like you were speaking directly to me.

You didn’t deserve the challenges and hardships you faced. Despite everything, you remained incredibly strong, always there for those you loved, spreading kindness and support. It’s heartbreaking to think about how often you were misunderstood.But now, I find solace in knowing you’re in a better place—free from the hate, the struggles, and all the pain that weighed you down. You are finally at peace, away from the burdens this world placed upon you.

Fly high, angel. Rest in peace and take the well-deserved rest you always needed. Sleep well, knowing that you will forever be cherished, loved, and remembered by all the lives you touched. Your smile will always be a part of my heart, and I miss you so much. Thank you for everything, Liam. You’ll always hold a special place in my heart, and I’ll never stop cherishing the person you were.

Rest in peace, Liam Payne. You are loved, and you will never be forgotten.

Love Sonu xx

Liam, you were such a sweet sweet angel. Your kindness and your smile and the way your eyes would light up whenever someone compliments you will live in my heart forever. You didn't deserve all the hate and you were completely misunderstood. I just wish you knew how loved, appreciated, and treasured you are by billions of people. I am so sorry because no one protected you or looked after you when you needed it the most. I hope you've finally found peace that you were looking for all these years. We love you so much, Liam. You were such a huge part of our lives and I feel like my heart will always have this scar whenever I remember you, I wish I could go back in time and tell you how much you matter to me.. to us. Sleep tight, Li! All the love❤️‍🩹

Liam, it hurts me so much that you are not here, you mean so much to me and the fact that you are gone leaves me with a huge void, I will miss you so much, but I will remember you as the great person you were. You saved me in a way that only you, me and the boys know, I will have you in my memory forever. It is still difficult for me to assimilate that you will not be here the day I achieve important things to thank you for everything you and the boys have done for my life, I just hope that you can find the peace you need and I trust that we will meet and find each other one day, I love you forever.🤍

To Liams family, I am so so sorry for your loss. Your son had the purest soul, kindest heart and most beautiful smile. He cared infinitely for us and I only hope he knows how much we care and love him. I have kept your family and him in my prayers.

To Liam, love, you didn't deserve the treatment you received from the world in return for your love. You had the such a bright soul and so many of us loved you for it. You were the light in our darkest times, you saved us time and time again. Your lyrics connected us to you in ways many do not understand. We are shattered to know we will never see your smile again, never hear your voice, never see your beautiful smile, never get to thank you for the impact you've had on our lives. I only wish you know how much we all love and miss you. I hope you are in peace, you deserve it. I honestly don't have words to describe how I felt when I found out you had left us, however I know that I will love and miss you more than anything. We love you. We miss you. This is not the end, I'll see your face again. Rest easy payno❤️‍🩹

Dear Liam,

I can’t find the right words to say, but here we go.

The world is not kind. You’ve gone way too soon, but I hope with all my heart that you are better now, and found peace and all of the things you longed for.

You are saving me right now, everyday, as I’m trying to hold on myself. I feel I’m less alone.

Thank you for being you, and with all that you left for us, I feel you’re still there somehow.

It’s not a goodbye. We will all meet again.

Love you L xxx

I am so sorry Liam.

You deserved so much better from the world. I am so sorry that life wasn’t easy for you. May you rest in peace and realise just how loved you really were, and still are, how many lives you’ve changed and affected, how many people’s hearts you have touched, and how much we will miss you.

Thank you for everything.

Thank you for all the laughs and all the memories. Thank you for being there for us when times got rough. Thank you for putting a smile on our faces and giving us a purpose. Thank you for the beautiful songs you have left behind, and for the legacy you have created that will truly be treasured forever. Thank you for being a part of my safe space, one that I always found comfort in, one I felt safe in, and loved in. You gave me so much to remember 🤍

I miss your smile, your laugh and your heart. The love and care you showed and expressed to others was admirable and should have never been seen in a negative light.

Never would I have imagined this day would come so soon. I wish the world would have been nicer.

I am sending all my love, strength and prayers to your family, your friends and your loved ones.

Bear, your dad could not have loved you more, I am so sorry.

We love you Liam… we always will… forever🕊️

Goodbyes are bittersweet, but it’s not the end, I’ll see your face again❤️

Liam.

I’ve been a fan since I was 11 years old. I’m turning 24 today. I just wanted to thank you for everything. The music, the memories, the joy you’ve giving me through out the years, the strength you’ve given me in my teenage years, and all the friends I’ve made because of you. I’m forever grateful. You changed my life for the better.

And I’m so sorry for this cruel world. Wherever you are, I hope you’re in peace. I hope you know you were loved and always will be.

Rest well

Angelika

Thank you for everything, Liam.

In 2012, One Direction changed my life forever and I can never thank you enough for that.

Since I heard the news of your passing, I've been at such a loss. It doesn't feel real and part of me is waiting to hear it was all a big mistake and you're fine.

The world just seems a little less bright these days and I haven't found a way to make peace with that yet.

I'm so sorry your story ended at 31; you still had so much life left to live.

I fear we may have taken you for granted. We assumed you'd always be here; that there would be so much more time. I'm so sorry for that.

You will always be in my heart and you will never be forgotten.

I hope you're at peace <3

all my love,

Lima, my sunshine. I'm not very good with words. And not very good at expressing. I became a directioner just few months before you guys went on hiatus. I found you guys too late, but i loved you guys more then i could tell.I grew up with you guys. You where 21 when i first knew about you guys.you are gone when i am 21. I can't believe this situation. Everything feels like a dream, a nightmare. I am sorry that i couldn't protect you liam. I am sorry i couldn't do anything for you. I couldn't even see you live or hug you. I couldn't do anything anything nor i could do now. My five are not five anymore.i am sorry lima that I'm living. Iam sorry. Rest well liam. I love you, many of us loved you with our whole hearts. Sorry that this shitty world wasn't a peaceful place for you. Sorry that in your last days we couldn't protect you from those inhuman creatures who doesn't have a life. I am sorry Mr. Payno

Suchitra kabir will always love you, and remember you.

My dearest Liam,

I haven’t known you for that long. I found Louis and then 1D a bit more than a year ago, when I was really struggling in life. You all were a big part of helping me face my problems and starting to deal with them. I have played Teardrops every day since it came out. It stirred up so many emotions in me. I was so looking forward to your new album. And coming to see you on tour, after having seen the three other boys live and planning to see Zayn soon. I’m so sad that won’t happen anymore. My heart breaks for you. You deserved to be shown you are loved, standing on stage with thousands cheering you on.

You boys made a home in my heart and now there’s an empty room.

I will miss you, but I hope you have found peace and dinosaurs (the friendly, cuddly ones).

Love Caro

“I was much too far out all my life

And not waving but drowning.“

Liam…

I came to say I love you.

I came to say I’ll miss you.

I came to say I’m sorry.

I came to say I understand.

It feels different here without you. It feels less. It feels like a cruel joke. I wish it was. It’s quiet now, dear Liam. Back to the stars you go.

# data[].attributes.body
In shadows cast by loss, we stand

A world divided, heart in hand

Grief weaves through the air, a haunting song

For a life so bright, now gone too long

Injustice lingers, a bitter thread

A silent scream for the words unsaid

I wish it were me, let the burden fall

For the weight of your absence, it crushes us all

No greater agony than stories confined

Echoes of pain, in corners of mind

Yet in this sorrow, we gather and share

A flicker of hope in the deep, dark despair

Though you've departed, your spirit will rise

A beacon of truth beneath weary skies

In every heartbeat, your legacy will live

A reminder of love, and the light it give

Sleep well, dear Liam.

I’m so sorry Liam.

The world wasn’t good to you, it wasn’t fair and it wasn’t right. I’m so sorry you were hurting so bad.

You always put your friends and family before you, even the millions of fans around the entire world, you became our rock.

I want to say thank you. Thank you for your music, your heart, your kind and loveable smile. You mean the universe to us and we’re so thankful for you over the past 14 years. Thank you Liam.

I’m sending my love, strength and prayers to your loved ones. Holding them close in my heart. I’m so sorry Bear. Your Daddy loved you with everything he had.

Everyday I wake up hoping this was just a nightmare and I get to see your smiling face on your Snapchat stories. Oh how I wish that was true.

We love you endlessly Liam, we’ll do everything we can to protect your son, and give him a beautiful, safe and happy life.

Thank you for everything.

From the 8 year old girl whose entire world revolved around you.

From the 22 year old girl who’s heartbroken for her younger self.

We love you Liam 🤍

Dear payno,

Thank you will be a very little word to actually say to you... You made me realize it's okay to feel depressed and still stay happy and help people and be kind no matter what... There was point in my when I was will to die and I didn't want to live anymore and that was when I found one direction you guys became my motivation inspiration and my only reason.. Liam you were my sunshine and you helped me recover my thoughts of dying... I loved you and supported you in every way possible... I just wished that I could have told you that I much I love you and support you.. When I saw the news I couldn't believe my eyes.. The person who saved me now is dead and I couldn't save him... I just wished that I could tell you that you were loved and you are not alone and you will be supported... I love you Liam... And I will not miss you...

I will forever miss you and keep your legacy alive, the day I win a Grammy, you will be the first person I thank. Tomorrow is officially gonna be Monday, the first Monday without you.

Liam James Payne,

August 29th, 1993-October 16th, 2024 he was a legend a music icon and an inspirational human being. I may not have met him like others have and gotten the chance to hug him and tell him just how much him and the 1D lads met to me in my time when they first became a band but this isn’t the time to talk about that it’s the time to talk about and appreciate the man Liam James Payne was. Not only was he the son of Geoff & Karen Payne but a brother to his sisters Nicola & Ruth and not to mention he was more than a brother he was their best friend.

Liam was not only an inspirational signer but also a brother to Zayn, Louis, Niall & Harry which they all meant something to him. Yes he spent his last day at Niall’s concert in Argentina, he was so proud of all the boys and a fan asked if he was proud of Zayn and he said he was so proud of him. The man Liam was it was so incredible and the hate he got he did not deserve at all and it’s funny to see, laughable actually that now that this has taken place his haters jumped on the bandwagon it’s disgusting.

I hope wherever he is he’s flying high and singing at the top of his longs and watching over us and especially over his son Bear who will grow up now without a father and as a girl who grow up without one myself even though mines still here and doesn’t wanna be apart of my life I know how damaging it can be to a child’s mental health and growth.

Liam we promise to watch over Bear and make sure to let him know just how loved he is be you and always will be no matter what. How proud you were to call him your son and make his dreams become a reality one day, we won’t ever let anyone hurt him that’s a promise from us the 1D family.

We love you Liam and I know this isn’t just a trying time for your family but also for Zayn, Louis, Niall & Harry as well as Kate, Cheryl & Bear your son. They deserve the privacy and respect from us all to mourn and grieve at the loss of not only a son, best friend, brother & father but someone that meant the world to them.

I wish there was more help out there for you and something could’ve been done to prevent this but, Payno know this you were very much loved by millions and cared about by us all I can assure you that. You weren’t ever alone, I know the hate took a huge toll on you and it hurts me to this day knowing you could’ve been spared and saved but wasn’t.

Fly high Payno, soar through the skies and live out your wildest dreams with no more pain. We love you & miss you, no matter what you’ll always play a big part in our lives like you said..

“We had some good times, didn't we?
We had some good tricks up our sleeve
Goodbyes are bittersweet
But it's not the end
I'll see your face again

And you will find me
Yeah, you will find me
In places that we've never been
For reasons we don't understand
Walking in the wind
Walking in the wind..” 🫶🏻🤍🕊️

you along with zayn, louis, niall, and harry all put a smile on my face. i became a fan in 2011/2012 when i was 12/13. i’m now 25 years old. yall helped me through so much. if it wasn’t for any of you i wouldn’t be here today. each and every one of yall were special in your own ways. liam, you however, you were the only one to always post about one direction and their accomplishments. you were there to accept awards even after the band went on a “hiatus” you were always there. it hurts to see you gone. you’re loved and missed by so many. i wish there was something we could’ve done to help and to save you. the whole world is mourning you…but it’s heartwarming and heartbreaking to see everyone come together again for you. thank you for saving me and always being yourself. i love you and i miss you to the ends of the earth and more. ❤️‍🩹🪽 fly high my love 🫶🏼

I’ve loved you since I was 14, I am now 26. being apart of your fandom is so special to me. I dreamed of a day where 1D would reunite and I would get to experience your music live for the first time, Even if i had to wait until i was 45. It breaks my heart that you are gone. I keep thinking about your family especially your mother and son because Im a mother to two beautiful boys. I hope you are now at peace. I pray for your families strength. S.I.P ♥️

Liam James Payne… you didn’t know me, but I knew you I loved, I cherished, i adored you. Being 11-14 it was hard for me I was going through so much home stuff the one thing that kept me going and distracted was one direction. I always had a album playing if it wasn’t on the radio, it was on the tv I would have YouTube lyric videos of you boys playing to this day I know who exactly is singing cause of those videos. I always went back to the video diaries, the funniest moments, the auditions, the 1DAY, and everything I could find of you and the boys. Thank you for being such a huge part of my childhood, you truly made my childhood as well as many girls. Thank you for keeping me alive as a young girl. I feel honored to be here with so many girls that felt the same way💜 I love you Liam Payne I hope you know how much we fans loved you, and how much you meant to us all💜

Dear Liam,

I never realized how fragile and changeful life can be. I learned that the day that you left. I am so sorry. I will always regret not seeing the signs and doing more about it. I want you to know, that I love you truly, I loved you then, and I will always love you, Li. For me, you were the wiser young guy that I ever saw. I admire your dedication and enthusiasm for chasing dreams. Liam, you were like the Father of 1D, we will always remember you like that. I had never the opportunity to hear you sing, but I am dreaming that one day I will... in the next life. Thank you for being an amazing human being. Thank you for letting me know you. Thank you for give me 15 years old me, so many laughs and happy tears. Thank you for all the wonderful memories, Liam. <3 You deserved much better, the best and most beautiful blessings. I pray to God that give you them now wherever you are now. Hasta siempre, Li.

Dear Liam,

I’m not sure where to even start— I guess I should start when I was 13. Finding you on X Factor with the rest of the boys. I found you all in a really dark period of my life. A lot of obstacles and tackling that I had to face. But more came from of it than just that. I had bonded with my siblings over One Direction. We had “performed” for our families. We pretended that we were on X Factor. You have not only me my childhood, but you gave my siblings theirs as well. And we can’t thank you enough for giving us distractions, music that inspired us, and overall giving us a community that we would overall give us joy and a safe space to be in. Thank you, Liam. Thank you for being so kind and reassuring for my siblings and me.

With Love,

Blake.

# data[].attributes.body
Liam, I hope you can see all the love for you right now. It’s still hard to process but I hope you finally found peace. Thank you for all the laughs throughout the years. 14year-old me had the best time with you guys. The video diaries, interviews and music videos. If I could go back in time, I’d do it all over again. To see that beautiful smile of yours. And I also remember being so excited to see your solo career. The first time I heard Strip that down. Such a bop. Can’t stop dancing to it. And the interviews with you and Rita Ora were such fun times too. I loved Polaroid so much. I’ll cherish these memories forever. We miss you, Liam. Forever and always.

# data[].attributes.body
Dear Liam,

I have only been in this fandom for just a year, but I fell in so deep and fast that I feel as if I have know you forever. Your music, along with the other boys saved me this year. I was thrown down a road that I never wanted to be on and listening to your words was a calming balm in my world. I will be forever grateful for you and Louis, Niall, Harry and Zayn for the indelible mark you have left on my life. Rest well amongst the stars, we will lift our head and see you in the Summer sky.

All my love, Gretchen

Dear Liam,

In these years I have dedicated to you many sentences, thoughts, comments, letters, dedications, but I never imagined writing for you today in this context.

It's been four days that a part of me is gone, four days that my heart is sad and I still do not realize.

My brain won't process your loss.

Dear Liam, you have been a pillar of my life over the years, you have helped me so much and the thought that we could not do anything to help you, devastates me.

I'm devastated, Liam, really.

But one thing is certain, you will always be with me.

This is because your smile, your eyes, your kindness, your heart, your voice will always remain with me.

Thank you for these years spent together sweet liam, I want to remember you smiling and carefree. You will always be the good and kind person I met 11 years ago.

Rest in peace sweet Liam, we will always be here for you. Watch over us, protect us, as you have done these years.

I will love you forever. Thank you for everything.

Mirea❤️

Liam,

I hope, wherever you are you can someday read my words.

I find it hard to express the words floating in my head while i write this letter to you. the first time i ever saw you, was when i was around 5 years old. From the moment i first saw your face, i always said you were my favourite. Your smile got me through incredibly dark days, days where i wanted to die, and whenever i thought about doing so, i always found myself coming back to watch videos about you. I’d sit there on my bed for hours smiling whenever i saw you. I’d gone on for hours, about how amazing you were and i would never shut up

It felt like you were the only person who understood how i felt. The struggles and all of the pain. The only person who really ever cared, which is crazy right? even tho i never knew you personally, it felt like you were the brother i never had, a brother i could seek comfort, happiness and joy in and i will forever thank you for that. you also felt like a friend, a friend that embraces you after a long day and tells you that you’ve done well, a friend that simply does stupid things with you because theyre fun, a friend who understands.

I’m now 15 and part of me wishes i could’ve saved you, just how you saved me. And I can’t come to terms with the fact you’re now gone. It keeps me up all night, i write letters to you daily, in a little notebook i keep under my desk, with my thoughts and prayers. everyday i find myself thinking about the chances that you could’ve been saved, if something had just gone differently you would still be here right now. If people had listened to your crys for help.

You’ve saved my life liam. multiple times and i am forever greatful, that i got to grow up with you.

Maybe, in another universe, somewhere far away from this horrible place, you had been treated like a human.

And maybe, in another universe, you’d grow old with the people you love.

Thank you for everything Li, i am forever greatful for the things you’ve done. forever and always in my heart.

when diana came out and you were the first one to say that this song was really important because it meant thanking the fans for all of their support, this song made me go through so much stuff and i am so sorry that i couldn’t save your life as you did mine. ❤️‍🩹🪽

Liam, thank you for being there for me when my world was crashing. Thank you for being my best friends favorite person ever. Thank you for letting us know even a fraction of you. Thank you for being apart of my journey, and growing up with me. You deserved so much better. I'm so sorry. Fly hi Li, we got it down here. - tiny

Liam,

I thought about you all night long. I keep thinking about your smile, your hair, your brown eyes, wondering, hoping you’re somewhere safe, somewhere warm. I’ve never experienced pain like this before, but that comforts me in its own way, because it means that I love you dearly. It means you changed my life for the better, and for that I’ll always be thankful. This is the second time I write for you, hoping my words will reach you, and I’m sure it won’t be the last. I’ll try to talk to you too, just to ground me into reality, just to grasp a tiny bit of comfort. I’m thankful for the memories you gave us, for your hard-work and your spark. There will never be another one like you. Be confident that we will always remember you. Rest easy, Payno. We will love you until the end of time. 🕊️🤍

Thank you for all of the smiles, laughs & comfort you have given us throughout the years, for all of the people you have helped, for being a ray of sunshine.

I’m at a lost for words ever since you passed away Liam. You were talented, fun and caring soul. I wish I could’ve gotten the chance to meet you I don’t think I ever will now. I was a Direction in my 20s I loved you and all of the boys. When I went to my first 1d concert it was a special time for me . I am a girl with high functioning autism and 1d was my safe place back in my 20s. I will always love and miss you. Your music will always live on in all of our hearts. I will keep your legacy alive forever. I love you Liam Rest in Peace

Dear Liam,

I’ve spent a lot of time reflecting on what I want to say, and yet no words truly capture the depth of my gratitude. You don’t know me, but through your music and your voice, you have played an incredible role in my life, a role that goes far beyond entertainment.

There was a time when I felt lost, surrounded by darkness and uncertainty. It seemed like hope was slipping away, but your music became a lifeline for me. Your words resonated with my pain, with my struggles, but they also carried the message that I wasn’t alone. In those moments when I needed it most, your songs helped me feel understood. They gave me strength to keep going when it felt impossible.

Your journey, too, has been one that inspired me. Watching you grow, overcome your own challenges, and remain authentic to yourself gave me the courage to believe that I, too, could face my battles head-on. Your honesty about mental health and your own struggles made me feel less isolated, reminding me that it’s okay to not be okay, and that healing takes time.

You didn’t just create music, Liam—you created a safe space for people like me, who needed to feel seen and heard. Your voice gave me a sense of belonging, and I truly believe that without that connection, I wouldn’t have been able to make it through some of my darkest days.

I know you’ve touched countless lives, but I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you—for everything you’ve done, even without knowing it. You helped save my life, and I will always be grateful for that.

With all my heart, thank you.

You light up our life like nobody else.

Love,

Dr_Stylinson and all directioners

My dear Liam,

I never thought I would have to write these words to you, especially not so soon.

I have known you since I was just 9 years old and you were only 16.

You have been a fundamental part of my life and the reason for the happiest years I have lived.

You and the other guys have been my lifeline in the darkest and saddest moments, sharing every happy moment and making each memory even more special.

Every video, every song, every concert, even if only watched online, has kept you always present and indispensable to me.

In these 14 years, there hasn’t been a single moment when you haven’t kept me company. You always knew how to give me the strength to keep going, even when things seemed impossible.

I remember the nights spent singing your songs, finding comfort in your words as if you were speaking directly to me.

Your music has been the soundtrack to my growth and my journey.

Your live performances kept us company during such a difficult and unique time in 2020, helping us overcome the loneliness and challenges of that period.

Now, however, I can't come to terms with what has happened. I can’t believe it.

It seems surreal that you are no longer here.

I am shattered, and my mind is filled with memories and emotions.

I can’t help but think about everything you faced, your pain, that of your loved ones, and little Bear.

Every time I think about how much I will miss your contagious smile and the light in your eyes, I feel an unfillable void.

I will never be able to attend one of your concerts, and I will never be able to thank you in person for everything you have done for me.

I write these words hoping that, wherever you are, you can read them.

I cannot accept the idea that you will never know how important you have been and still are to me.

Every smile you shared and every moment of joy you brought into our lives will forever remain in my heart.

I am infinitely grateful for your infectious smiles and for the passion you put into your music. You are an extraordinary artist, and your lyrics and your voice will be eternal, a legacy that will continue to live on in us.

Thank you for giving us a part of you that will always be with us. Your authenticity and talent have left an indelible mark on our lives.

Thank you for saving me in difficult moments, for always being a beacon of light in the darkest days.

I deeply regret that this world could not give you all the love and happiness you deserve. I sincerely hope that you have found your peace and that you can now rest serenely.

Thanks u for give us so much to remember.

Sleep well,

Goodbay Payno,

See you in places that we've never been,

Always in my heart,

Love you forever,

Martina🪽❤️‍🩹
