Not a fan of One Direction in the slightest, but it’s still pretty sad to see someone that young go out like that. Condolences to his loved ones and may he rest in peace, one user said.
Absolutely gutting for her and the rest of his friends and his family – we all know what it’s like to lose somebody we love, the second user said.
So tragic, too young, thoughts are with all his family and friends and totally understand the impact it’ll have on his fans too, the third user commented.
31 is too young. A son without a dad, fame, and fortune is nothing at the end of it all, another wrote.
She did ‘For You’ with Liam which was the soundtrack made for the fifty shades freed so she’s going to be upset, someone said.
RIP Liam Payne we will all miss you. Thanks for all the great music. Hang in there Rita Ora we love you too. It’s hard on all of us, another wrote.
