Following Liam Payne’s tragic death, fans have started a petition to erect a permanent memorial in his hometown of Wolverhampton. The proposed memorial, which could take the form of a statue or mural, aims to honor the singer’s legacy and provide a space for fans to reflect on his life and career. The petition on Change.org has garnered nearly 6,000 signatures from supporters worldwide, who describe Payne as a “harmonious blend of inspiration and comfort” whose influence should be remembered for generations.
Fans have already left tributes, including flowers and messages, at sites like the Lady Wulfrun statue in Wolverhampton and the cenotaph outside St. Peter’s Collegiate Church. These impromptu memorials echo similar gatherings worldwide, including in cities like London, Paris, and Buenos Aires, where Payne passed away.
The leader of the Wolverhampton council, Stephen Simkins, has expressed openness to the idea, emphasizing that such a tribute would require the Payne family’s approval. The late singer, who shared a seven-year-old son, Bear, with Cheryl Tweedy, was recently laid to rest in Buckinghamshire .
Please make a memorial statue of liam for his fans friend and family to have forever.
