Liam Payne, 31, was holidaying in Buenos Aires with his girlfriend Kate Cassidy when he fell from the third floor of a hotel on Wednesday.
Zayn Malik has said in a heartbreaking tribute that he 'never got to thank' former One Direction bandmate Liam Payne before his tragic death.
Posting on Instagram, Zayn wrote: "Liam, I have found myself talking out loud to you, hoping you can hear me, I can't help but think selfishly that there was so many more conversations for us to have in our lives. I never got to thank you for supporting me through some of the most difficult times in my life.
"I was always happy to know, no matter what happened on stage we could always rely on you to know which way to steer the ship next. 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. 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.
