A fan posted: “Rest in peace Liam Payne. I will love you forever. I will keep your memories alive until the day of my death, I promise you. As long as I exist, there will never be a who will stop talking about you..”
Another added briefly: “RIP Liam,” while one admirer said: “Yes love, everyone did, you are loved. Love you and miss you badly.”
One particularly devastated supporter typed out: “‘If I died would you come to ma funeral…?’ Where do I call Satan to sell him my soul to get you back? I miss you.”
Finally, another fan gushed: “Thanks for saving me Liam, I loved you all my teenage years and I will love you for the rest of my life. Rest in peace and be happy, I love you so much. Thanks for making me happy,” expressing unwavering devotion.
