Justin Bieber breaks silence on Liam Payne death

Justin Bieber has paid tribute to Liam Payne.

The singer took to Instagram to share his thoughts on Liam's death.

Justin, 30, shared a fan-made video montage of the floral tributes and messages laid in Liam's memory, with the caption, "Rest easy, Liam."

A voiceover on the video, said, "Just remember: you are allowed to grieve as a fan. You are allowed to love someone you've never met. You are allowed to admire someone for their art. You are allowed, to cry, to break, to feel like a part of you is gone."

Justin was at the top of the charts in the 2010s at the same time as One Direction. Liam once made a public dig at Justin, which reportedly started some animosity between the pair.

In 2022, Liam recalled how he unwittingly started a feud with Justin, when he was "drunk" on Instagram. When someone mentioned Justin Bieber's name, Liam recalled, "I was like, 'well the only thing between me and him is I haven't been arrested'", saying that he never intended to offend Justin. He added: "It started some beef."

A few years after the incident, Liam bumped into Justin at an awards ceremony. He told how he thought, "I'll have a chat with him," noting that Justin had "grown as a person."

He revealed he said to Justin, "I've always felt for you... number one, I've done all the things that you've done and I've never been caught for any of them... number two, I've always really felt for you, mate, and I think in our situation we all suffer from the same disease."

He said how Justin replied, "Bro, that's given me chills." The pair became friends from then on.

Liam died last week after falling from the third floor of his hotel in Buenos Aires. He was 31.
