One Direction singer Liam Payne died at age 31 in October 2024. However, the 45th Brit Awards has recently paid an emotional tribute to the late chart-topping Brits winner. The award ceremony concluded with a video tribute to Payne.
The video was later shared on the official social media of the Brit Awards with the caption, “Liam Payne forever”. The video montage featured footage of Payne on tour with One Direction and with his family. The clip was soundtracked to One Direction’s song Little Things.
During the ceremony, host Jack Whitehall announced that it was time to pay tribute to "an extraordinary individual who touched the lives of many people in this room and millions globally." The host called Payne “a very special person who meant so much to so many of the people in this room and to millions of you around the world.”
Payne’s friend Jack continued the tribute, “Last October, we woke to the devastating news that Liam Payne had tragically passed away,” Whitehall continued. “He achieved so much in the short time that he was on this earth, and was not only a supremely gifted musician, but an incredibly kind soul who touched the lives of everyone he came into contact with. We have so many amazing memories of Liam here at the Brits, so tonight we celebrate his legacy, look back and remember the remarkable Liam Payne.”
