Fans of One Direction alum Liam Payne are convinced that the late pop star sent a poignant message from above in the wake of his untimely demise.
Amid numerous fan-organized candlelight memorials and remembrance services across the world, fans from different corners of the globe claimed to have spotted clouds in the sky resembling Liam’s iconic arrow tattoo.
In between a flood of online tributes and honors, several fans took to social media to share photos of clouds forming four arrow-like shapes in the sky similar to a replica of the chevron ink seen of Liam Payne’s forearm.
A Reddit thread titled “Clouds resembling Liam's tattoos - is the universe telling us he's finally at peace?” by user r/OneDirection received more than 2.5K upvotes and over 90 comments discussing the tragic co-incidence.
“I’m not religious or spiritual, but I do believe in signs like this. He’s telling us that he’s okay, and it gives me so much comfort,” one Reddit user shared.
“If you're lost, just look for me. You'll find me in the region of the summer stars,,” another wrote, referring to the lyrics of One Direction’s Made In The A.M track Walking In The Wind.
“He’s telling us he can see us all remembering him. It’s like a hug,” a third fan commented. One said, “he's saying hi to us,” while another added, “I hope he’s in peace now.”
Meanwhile, several fans also took to X to share picture of the arrow clouds.
Back in 2019, Liam Payne broke down the story behind his tattoos during a GQ interview. While speaking about the chevron or the 4 arrows tattoos, the Teardrops singer revealed he was drunk when he got the specific ink.
However, the pop star also mentioned that it was “one of the best mistakes” he ever made. Over the years, the tattoo became one of Liam’s fan-favorite features.
While some Directioners (fans of One Direction) perceived the tattoo as a symbolism for the name of the band with each tattoo representing Liam’s fellow bandmates (Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan and Zayn Malik), others often got their own arrow tattoo’s inspired by the late singer’s ink.
Liam Payne was pronounced dead on October 16, 2024, after falling off the third-floor balcony of a hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He was 31 at the time of his passing.
