Zedd, Alesso and many other members of the global music community are paying tribute to Liam Payne following the tragic death of the One Direction singer.
Payne, 31, with whom Zedd collaborated to release the 2017 global dance-pop hit “Get Low,” died Oct. 16 in Argentina.
The singer was declared dead after falling from a balcony on the third floor of the Hotel CasaSur Palermo, according to the head of Buenos Aires emergency services, Alberto Crescenti. In comments translated from Spanish, he said Payne suffered “a fracture at the base of the skull,” according to the Argentine news channel. AllNews.
“I can't believe this is real…absolutely heartbreaking,” Zedd wrote in a post on X.
“Life is short and fragile… You never know what people are going through,” the DJ added. “We live in times where being rude, divisive and mean-spirited is normal; sometimes it's even celebrated. It doesn't have to be that way. We should do our best to be kind, supportive and thoughtful.”
Swedish EDM superstar Alesso, who in April 2020 collaborated with Payne to release “Midnight,” mourned his death in a heartfelt Instagram post.
“I can't believe you're gone Liam,” Alesso wrote. “I am grateful to have been able to create magic together on 'Midnight' and even more grateful for the friendship we had. We shared many laughs and great memories that I will carry with me always. Rest easy, my friend.”
