Payne then shared a funny story about Sheeran's quirky nature. He revealed that once, he, Sheeran, Taylor Swift, Harry Styles, and his parents were all in an elevator together.
He said, “This is a really random story. It was a party we had just done a gig for and he joined us on stage.” Then when they all went in the lift, “he just kept going turning around to me going, "Bass." And that's all he was saying. "Bass." So that's one of my favorite party stories.'”
Along with Sheeran many other celebrities also reflected on memories with the late singer. One Direction members including, Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik, Harry Styles, and Niall Horan shared their respective tribute posts as well.
The singer was found outside of a hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina on October 16, 2024. He was just 31 years old.
