Rita Ora paid an emotional tribute to the late Liam Payne at the MTV Europe Music Awards 2024 on Sunday. The singer, who collaborated with the former One Direction singer on the 2018 single For You, got emotional while remembering Liam.
She said, “I just want to take a moment to remember someone who was very dear to us. We recently lost him, and he was a huge part of the MTV world and my world, and I think there will be a lot of you at home and everyone here tonight.”
She added, “We’ve been talking about ways to honor him, and I think sometimes just speaking is enough. He had the biggest heart and was always there to offer help in any way he could.” Was the first person to do it.”
Earlier, Ora had mourned Payne’s death in a post, writing, “I’m heartbroken. He had a kind spirit, I’ll never forget. I loved working with him – on and off stage. It was a pleasure to have him outside.” I am heartbroken by this sad news. I am sending all my love and prayers to his family and loved ones. RIP” takes on a new meaning for me now.
