Simon Cowell, who first discovered Payne in 2008 during a talent competition X factor before Payne returned in 2010 for another addition, spoke out about Payne’s death.

“You never really know how you feel about someone until a moment like this happens. Liam, I’m devastated. Heartbroken. And I feel empty. And I want you to know I have so much love and respect for you. Every tear I shed is your memory,” he said in his post.

All of the men of One Direction also made their own posts about Payne’s death as well as issuing a joint statement together.

“We are absolutely devastated by the news of Liam’s passing. Over time and when people are able, there will be more to say. But for now, we will take some time to grieve and process the loss of his brother, whom we loved deeply,” they said.

“The memories we shared with him will be cherished forever. For now, our thoughts are with his family, his friends and the fans who loved him along with us. We will miss him dearly. We love you Liam,” it concluded.

Payne died at the age of 31 after he fell from a third-floor balcony while continuously under the influence of several drugs. A report by Good morning America revealed that he had pink cocaine, cocaine, benzodiazepine and crack in his body at the time of his death.
