The Brit Awards paid tribute to former One Direction member Liam Payne, who sadly passed away last October at 31 after falling from a hotel balcony in Argentina. Host Jack Whitehall introduced a video honouring him.
Jack said, “It is now time to take a moment to remember a very special person who meant so much to many of the people in this room, and to millions of you around the world. Last October, we woke to the devastating news that Liam Payne had tragically passed away.” He went on to add, “He achieved so much in the short time that he was on this earth, and was not only a supremely gifted musician but an incredibly kind soul who touched the lives of everyone he came into contact with. We have so many amazing memories with Liam here at The Brits. So tonight we celebrate his legacy and look back and remember, the remarkable Liam Payne.”
The footage showed pictures from Liam’s childhood, a black-and-white video with his family, and clips from his time on The X Factor and with One Direction, who won seven Brit Awards before splitting up. Their hit “Little Things” played in the background while Liam was seen recording the song. The montage also included a photo of him meeting Queen Elizabeth II. n the video Payne said, “We thought something might happen, but never anything like this. I’m always trying to remind myself of where I’ve come from, where I’ve managed to get to in my life. It’s amazing, really.”
Meanwhile, everyone has been waiting for answers and now, new findings have finally emerged, shedding light on the circumstances surrounding Liam Payne’s tragic passing. On Friday, 21 February, the National Criminal and Correctional Prosecutor’s Office No. 14 issued a press release confirming that the former One Direction star had “alcohol concentrations of up to 2.7 grams per litre in blood at the time of death.” Payne, who passed away in October after falling from a balcony at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Argentina, also had “cocaine metabolites, methylecgonine, benzoylecgonine, cocaethylene and the medication sertraline” in his system, according to the translated report.
