Liam Payne had been filmed dancing and meeting fans at 1D pal Niall Horan’s concert on October 2 before a selfie of the reunited ex-bandmates was shared online.
In a statement, Liam’s family said this afternoon: “We are heartbroken. Liam will forever live in our hearts and we’ll remember him for his kind, funny and brave soul.
“We are supporting each other the best we can as a family and ask for privacy and space during this awful time.”
