'Liam was the most viral part of One Direction': Louis
Tomlinson also shared a moving post about Payne on Instagram with a photo and said he "lost a brother."
"Liam was somebody I looked up to everyday, such a positive, funny, and kind soul," he said.

He went on to add how Payne was an "incredible songwriter" and in his opinion, "the most vital part of One Direction."

Harry Styles shared a heartfelt statement and reflected on his ¡°most cherished years¡± performing with the group at the beginning of their respective careers following the death of Liam Payne.
¡°I am truly devastated by Liam¡¯s passing. His greatest joy was making other people happy, and it was an honour to be alongside him as he did it,¡± he wrote in a statement on Instagram.
¡°Liam lived wide open, with his heart on his sleeve, he had an energy for life that was infectious. He was warm, supportive, and incredibly loving. The years we spent together will forever remain among the most cherished years of my life. I miss him always, my lovely friend. My heart breaks for Karen, Geoff, Nicola and Ruth, his son Bear, and all those around the world who knew and loved him, as I did. ¨C Harry¡±
'We got to live our wildest dreams together': Niall
Niall Horan, who had reconciled with Liam just two weeks before his death, also took to Instagram to pen a sweet note.
"I am absolutely devastated about the passing of my amazing friend, Liam. It just doesn't feel real. Liam had an energy for life and a passion for work that was infectious. He was the brightest in every room and always made everyone feel happy and secure."
Niall reminisced about the countless laughs they shared over the years and added, "All the laughs we had over the years, sometimes about the simplest of things, keep coming to mind through the sadness. We got to live out our wildest dreams together and I will cherish every moment we had forever. The bond and friendship we had doesn't happen often in a lifetime."
He added, "I feel so fortunate that I got to see him recently. I sadly didn't know that after saying goodbye and hugging him, I would be saying goodbye forever. It's heartbreaking. My love and condolences go out to Geoff, Karen, Ruth, Nicola and of course his son Bear. Thank you for everything, Payno. Love you, brother. Nialler"
