Privacy NoticeFormer One Direction star Louis Tomlinson took to his Instagram story on Friday night to show followers he was listening to bandmate Liam Payne’s latest single Teardrops, two days after his tragic death. Wolverhampton born singer Liam tragically died on Wednesday night after falling from a three floor balcony in his hotel room in Buenos Aires, Argentina, at the age of 31. Liam released his final song Teardrops in March this year, sharing on Instagram at the time: “This song is born from many tears, not all mine. I hope you love it like I do and not too many of you can relate.”

On Thursday night, his former bandmates, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, Harry Styles and Zayn Malik released a joint statement following Liam’s tragic death, which read: “We’re completely devastated by the news of Liam’s passing. In time, and when everyone is able to, there will be more to say. But for now, we will take some time to grieve and process the loss of our brother, who we loved dearly. “The memories we shared with him will be treasured forever. For now, our thoughts are with his family, his friends, and the fans who loved him alongside us. We will miss him terribly. We love you Liam.” Shortly after, the boys began to post their own tributes separately. Taking to his Instagram account, Louis shared a photo of himself on Liam on stage, with a lengthy caption, which began: I am beyond devastated to be writing this but yesterday I lost a brother. Liam was somebody I looked up to everyday, such a positive, funny, and kind soul.

“I first met Liam when he was 16 and I was 18, I was instantly amazed by his voice but more importantly as time went on I got a chance to see the kind brother I’d longed all my life for. Liam was an incredible song writer with a great sense of melody, we often spoke of getting back in the studio together to try and recreate the writing chemistry we had built up in the band. Further on in his tribute, Louis made a heartbreaking promise to Liam. “ I want you to know that if Bear ever needs me I will be the Uncle he needs in his life and tell him stories of how amazing his dad was,” he penned. Emotionally concluding, Louis wrote: “I wish I got chance to say goodbye and tell you one more time how much I loved you. Payno, my boy, one of my best friends, my brother, I love you mate.
