Backstreet Boys, Liam Gallagher, Puth… react to Liam Payne’s death

The death of Liam Payne, at only 31 years old, has shocked the music world. In the last few hours, the networks have been filled with messages of affection, both from fans and colleagues, remembering the figure of the former member of One Direction. Charlie Puth, Backstreet Boys, Paris Hilton and Liam Gallagher are just some of the artists who have dedicated a few words.

The news has been a shock for everyone, and has once again highlighted the most insensitive side of society. Hence, the coverage of TMZ, which had accompanied the news with a photograph of Liam’s body after falling from the third floor of his hotel. Alessia Cara is the most famous artist, and one of the first, to echo this: “You suck,” she wrote in X mentioning TMZ.

Liam Gallagher, who had little to do with Payne apart from sharing nationality, has written one of the most sensible tweets we have ever seen from him: “Life is valuable children and you can only live it ONCE, go easy,” he shared as a way of warning.

Even Paris Hilton has sent her “condolences” to the British artist’s family. Flavor Flav, Juicy J and the Backstreet Boys couldn’t believe the news either: “Words cannot express the emotions we are collectively feeling right now, and it seems that the rest of the world is in the same boat,” he wrote. the boy band on social networks.

Of course, some collaborators, such as Zedd, Quavo or J Balvin, have dedicated words of affection to the artist. Of these, the most painful is that of Charlie Puth, who decides to remember Payne in his Instagram Stories: «I’m in shock. Liam has always been very kind to me. He was one of the first big artists I was able to work with. “I can’t believe he’s gone.”
