He then revealed how One Direction relied on Liam Payne to “you to know which way to steer the ship next” irrespective of whatever happened on stage.
“I lost a brother when you left us and can't explain to you what l'd give to just give you a hug one last time and say goodbye to you properly and tell you that I loved and respected you dearly,” Malik expressed further.
“I will cherish all the memories I have with you in my heart forever, there is no words that justify or explain how I feel right now other than beyond devastated,” he stated.
