The first day, I thought, &#039;No, that didn&#039;t happen.&#039; Our friendship was a bond that always existed, even if we didn&#039;t see each other for a while, and it&#039;s incredible that one day, like a switch flipped, he was gone.&quot;.<\/p>\n<p> The Irish musician said he remains in touch with Payne&#039;s relatives: &quot;All our families are in touch, they&#039;ve been through this too.&quot;.<\/p>\n<p> He continued, &quot;When I think about Liam&#039;s death, I&#039;m overcome with sadness, but at the same time, I laugh and grin because of the memories of our relationship. I&#039;ll go somewhere and remember some silly thing in a hotel or something random that makes me laugh. We always had fun in Australia because we could go to the beach. Liam was a pretty good surfer. I can barely swim.&quot;.<\/p>\n<p> Horan, who along with Payne, Louis Tomlinson, Harry Styles and Zayn Malik released solo albums after the group&#039;s breakup, included in his upcoming album <em>Dinner Party<\/em> a song dedicated to Payne called &quot;End of an Era.&quot;. <\/p>\n<p> \u00ab&quot;We had one thing in common,&quot; he said of his bandmates, &quot;but it also unites the fans; they&#039;ve experienced loss, too.&quot;.<\/p>\n<p> Payne died at age 31 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, after falling from a third-floor hotel balcony.<\/p>\n<p> When the publication asked Horan if One Direction would ever reunite, he replied, &quot;God knows. Look at Harry, look at Louis, they&#039;re at the top of their game, so God knows, but everyone still asks about it; it&#039;s so exciting.&quot;.<\/p>\n<p> <strong>The Best of Deadline<\/strong> <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p> Premiere dates for new and returning series on broadcast, streaming, and cable channels in 2026 <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p> The Good Girl&#039;s Guide to Murder Soundtrack: All the Songs You&#039;ll Hear in Both Seasons. <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p> The 25 Highest-Grossing Animated Films of All Time at the World Box Office<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p> Subscribe to the Deadline newsletter.
