Zayn Malik Pays Tribute to Liam Payne at First Concert Since Death, Fans Cry

Clearly, fans saw a double meaning to the words … ’cause they quickly started breaking down — choking out the words through sobs.

It’s a cathartic moment for many fans who grew up on One Direction … crying as a collective about a month after Liam’s death — while authorities in Argentina are still working to uncover all the facts about the pop star’s fall.

As we’ve told you … Liam died after tumbling from his balcony in Argentina — with the austopsy revealing he had several drugs including pink cocaine in his system.

Three people — including one employee at the hotel where he died — have been charged in the investigation into his death.

After posting a loving tribute on IG — both individually and in a joint statement with the other members of 1D — Zayn told fans in the U.S. he was postponing the American leg of his tour … pushing dates from to January 2025.
