One Direction broke their silence on band member Liam Payne’s tragic death.

“We’re completely devastated by the news of Liam’s passing,” the group told Page Six.

“In time, and when everyone is able to, there will be more to say. But for now, we will take some time to grieve and process the loss of our brother, who we loved dearly.

“The memories we shared with him will be treasured forever. For now, our thoughts are with his family, his friends, and the fans who loved him alongside us. We will miss him terribly. We love you Liam.”
