One Direction star Liam Payne was honored at the Grammys with an emotional video tribute that left fans in tears. The annual In Memoriam segment, which honors musical voices who have died in the last year, featured a montage of Payne’s best moments and a performance by Chris Martin of Coldplay’s “All My Love”. The tribute aired on a big screen after host Noah introduced the sequence.
Payne tragically passed away on October 16 at the age of 31 after falling from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires. His death sent shockwaves around the world, with his bandmates releasing a joint statement expressing their sadness and loss. Fans took to social media to pay tribute to Payne, using hashtags such as #LiamPayneForever.
In December, five people were charged in connection to Payne’s death, including two who were accused of supplying cocaine. Liam Payne’s father has also made a legal complaint against one of the accusers, alleging that he made false and defamatory statements about him to authorities.
