Following the devastating news that former One Direction star Liam Payne died on Wednesday in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Harry Styles' mother Anne Twist shared a moving tribute to Liam that contained just three words.

Harry Styles first met the singer from Wolverhampton in 2010 when they both auditioned for The X Factor. This is where their band One Direction formed alongside their bandmates Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan.

One Direction soon soared to mega stardom and became one of the biggest and most beloved boybands in history. After the bands indefinite hiatus in 2016 both Harry and Liam embarked on their solo careers.

Liam died just one year older than Anne's son Harry, at only 31 years old. He reportedly died outside of a hotel after falling from a balcony.
