Zayn Malik Tributes Liam Payne After His Death, Says He “Lost A Brother”

Buy Me A Coffee

Zayn Malik, the 31-year-old “I hide under my hoodie but make it fashion” king, took to social media on Thursday (October 17) to pour his heart out over Liam Payne’s tragic passing. Yes, grab your tear ducts by the hand—this one’s going to hurt.

The ex-One Direction star wrote a message that feels like a diary entry you’d scribble at 2 a.m. after staring at the ceiling for hours, reminiscing about deep talks and missed chances. Zayn said:

“Liam, I keep finding myself chatting to thin air, hoping somehow you’re eavesdropping from wherever you are. And honestly? It’s selfish, but I just know there were so many more convos we should’ve had—like, at least one more argument about whether we should’ve gone with all-white outfits for the 2014 tour.”

Of course, he didn’t just stop at “deep feels.” Zayn pulled out the emotional stops by sharing a retro pic of them chillin’ back when their only concerns were harmonizing perfectly and how much hair gel was too much.

Zayn’s nostalgia meter hit maximum when he added:
“You were my lifeline, bro. When I was 17 and missing home (and also pretending to know how the washing machine worked), you were always there. You had that mega-smile and a weirdly positive vibe, like a walking Pinterest quote. And man, even though I was the older one, you were way more responsible. You were like a wise owl disguised as a boy-band heartthrob.”

But, hold on—this wouldn’t be a proper One Direction reflection without a sprinkle of tension! Zayn got real:
“Yeah, we clashed sometimes. Your ‘Tell it like it is’ energy could be a bit… intense. But low-key? I respected the heck out of it. You had no problem calling out nonsense—and let’s be real, there was a lot of nonsense.”

Then came the part where Zayn turned the dial to emotional overdrive:
“When it came to the music, Liam, you were the MVP. I was just a kid with good hair, trying to figure out what the heck a key change was. But you? You were the captain. No matter what chaos happened on stage—broken mics, forgotten lyrics—we knew you’d keep the show sailing smoothly.”

And just when you thought it couldn’t get any more heart-wrenching, Zayn delivered the knockout line:
“Losing you feels like losing a piece of myself. I can’t explain what I’d give for one more bro-hug or a chance to say goodbye properly. You meant the world to me, man. I’ll carry every moment we shared in my heart forever, even the silly fights over who got the best bunk on the tour bus.”

He wrapped it all up with a heartstring-pulling conclusion:
“Wherever you are now, I hope it’s peaceful, and you know how much you’re loved. I miss you, bro. Love you always.”

If you didn’t just sniffle or at least let out a sad sigh, do you even have a soul? This tribute was a certified emotional rollercoaster, and honestly, it’s okay if you need a moment to ugly cry. We’re right there with you.
