“I am definitely destroyed that my amazing friend, Liam,” wrote in a long Instagram statement. “It just doesn’t really feel. Liam had an energy for life and a passion for work that was contagious. He was the brightest in every room and always made everyone feel happy and safe.”
The “Slow Hands” singer continued to remind his time to sing along with Liam in one direction.
“All the laughs we had over the years, sometimes about the simplest things, continue to come to me through grief,” Niall added. “We had to live out our wildest dreams together and I will take care of every moment we had forever. The band and friendship we had not happened often during life.”
Niall, who had Liam and his girlfriend Kate Cassidy As guests at their latest concert in Buenos Aires, also detailed what it was like to see his friend for the last time.
“I feel so lucky that I got to see him recently,” Niall wrote. “Unfortunately, I did not know that after saying goodbye and hugging him that night, I would say goodbye forever. It’s heartbreaking. My love and condolences go out to Geoff, Karen, Ruth, Nicola and of course his son Bear. Thanks for everything, payyno. Love you brother.”
