I dont understands whats happening, i feel like i am in a whole different world, i cant even express my feelings, just how fast the night changes, wish i could change what happpened.I still cant accept the reality.Oh my god Liam, rest in peace angel, you must have suffered a lot alone and decided to go alone from this cruel world.Eventhough i am just a fan girl of yours and never even have seen you for a once in real life, after hearing the news, my life is also feeling souless.You are my whole childhood, which i cant never get enough of. Anyway no matter where you are now, stay happy that what i wish for you. Be in a better place ! Maybe in another life, lets meet again my idol!!!

Rip Liam bruh. I’ve been crying a lot during and throughout the day. It’s just so sad.

[Kaan]

I was shocked when I saw the news this morning. I didn't expect it at all. As a former 1D fan, this news shook me but Liam's recent mood was not good. He should have had someone to hold his hand. rest in peace.

Tragic and devastating. RIP LIAM Your music will live on forever. You will continue to give to your fans, always.

I felt like this video spoke more about him than all the other media outlets’ reports on his tragic death, why and how it happened, etc. with strangers speculating on all the aspects of his passing which will probably never be fully known. It’s heartbreaking how you can see the light going out of his eyes as the years go on in these sequential clips. Prayers for his soul, condolences and love for his family and loved ones.

This lad seems so together, who knew he was suffering so much RIP Liam

You can see he how many forced smiles there were. My heart breaks for Liam, his son and his parents. Fly Liam 💔

[stephp]

I feel numb. I’ve been following them since I was 7-8 years old and now I’m 21. They were a part of my life that I will never forget. What makes you beautiful was on of the first song I downloaded in my mp3. I still have a lot of magazines and posters from back in the day that I will treasure forever as well of the memories. Thank you Liam we won’t forget you. ❤

I went to the concert when they came to Arizona. This was back in 2014. RIP Liam 😢

You were truly a nice guy. So polite and always willing to make comments for the journalists. You were just too nice for this world, really. Rest in peace, Liam.

[gbelle]

This news is saddening. May Liam rest in peace. Gone but never forgotten 💚

[ghost.ranger]

Liam was so talented. He also really brought the energy to 1D. He will be missed. R.I.P. Liam.

[Grace-cssk]

Rest in peace Liam you'll always be apart of our hearts

[vvoggtt]

Extremely sad to lose someone that young and talented. Tragic 😢

Liam payne is live forever 1993-♾
RIP SWEET Angel. I dont forget you never.

It honestly feels like some weird nightmare. He always seemed to be the type you’d always expect to be around, at least for many many years to come, like the nsync members or backstreet boys i pictured him growing into middle age and settling into fatherhood. It’s bizarre and horrible to realise that will never happen, it’s so so sad

[maryjones]

Liam once said that not getting through X Factor the first time was devastating. He was just a boy at 14 years. The Industry challenges as we have seen are so much harder at 14, 16 and even as a young adult. Liam has been vocal about his own mental health challenges and stardom at such as young age, have the power and the money to live the life of a rock star where sadly, life experience and the maturing of the brain happen later in life. RIP Mr Liam Payne, we hope you are resting your poor soul from all the years sadness, remember the soul is always evolving and I hope your’s will too ❤😘

RIP Liam. I’m an Amazon delivery driver and once my shift ends I always play Night Changes on the way back to my station to ease the night after a hard days work. I was devastated when I heard the news. We will miss you, and we love you, bro.

[Saphirac]

He is the most handsome among them from the band

This just shows that young stars reaching extreme fame at such a young age need to be protected. It can't be easy :(
