Liam Payne's 'fairy godmother' Dame Denise Lewis pens heartbreaking tribute to the 1D star after his tragic death aged 31: 'Thank you for being so sweet with my kids'

As a dedicated follower and witness to the highs and lows of the entertainment industry, I am deeply saddened by the tragic loss of Liam Payne. Having had the privilege of knowing him through his friendship with my husband Steve Finan, who managed him for several years, I can attest to his kindness, humor, and undeniable talent that was often overshadowed by external circumstances.


In a deeply emotional piece, former Olympic gold medalist Denise Lewis paid tribute to Liam Payne following his sad passing at the young age of 31.

52-year-old heptathlete is currently married to Steve Finan, who managed Liam for a number of years. Some people have referred to her as Liam’s “fairy godmother” in the past.

During some of his toughest struggles, such as his rift with Cheryl, Denise and Steve stood by Liam’s side. They frequently provided a refuge for him as they worked tirelessly to help him maintain sobriety, with Liam often staying at their home during those challenging periods.

On Tuesday, Denise posted a heartfelt message about Liam on Instagram, accompanied by a selection of pictures spanning their past years together.

Denise expressed gratitude to the deceased artist for his kindness towards her kids, adding that his love was beyond measure.

She penned, “Alright, let me begin… I acknowledge that what we have is genuine, and you won’t return. Thus, here’s a toast to you, the authentic version of you.

‘Kind, funny, annoyingly daft but more talented than you believed, more loved than you could grasp.

‘The dark storms have passed and all that is ahead of you is sunshine. You deserve that.’

She added: ‘Thank you for being so sweet with my kids, the big kid in you always knew what to say to make them laugh. Rest well bab… Wolvo & the world weep.’

According to a source, speaking to the Mail’s Katie Hind, it was stated that Liam deeply loved Denise. In many ways, she acted like a mother to him and made significant efforts to help and support him.

In the photos posted by Denise, Liam can be spotted having fun while golfing with his family on various outings and celebrating at birthday parties.

He was also seen in a picture with Denise’s 22-year-old daughter Lauren as they posed with singer Rita Ora. 

Last Wednesday evening, Liam tragically fell from the third floor of a hotel located in Buenos Aires, the capital city of Argentina. Subsequently, medical professionals declared him deceased.

The tribute from his record label, Universal Music Group, expressed their deep sorrow over the untimely death of Liam Payne.

‘His legacy will live on through his music and the countless fans he inspired and who adored him. We send our deepest condolences to Liam’s family and loved ones.’

It was revealed hours later that Liam had been dropped by the record label days before his death.

At age 22, Liam, who was initially contracted with Sony as a member of One Direction, kicked off his solo career by signing an agreement with Capitol Records (a Universal-owned label) in July 2016.

As I, a die-hard fan, pen down this moment, I can still feel the exhilaration coursing through my veins when the news broke that Liam had inked a contract with Capitol Records. This wasn’t just any deal; it was one that carried a fortune, a dream come true for the artist we all admire.

In the latest restructuring at Universal, I find myself now directly under their flagship brand instead of being a separate subsidiary.

Well, let me tell you, I couldn’t help but notice when word got out that Liam’s PR had stepped down earlier this month. That means he’s been flying solo in the spotlight, with no one to manage his public image! As a die-hard fan, it makes me wonder what’s next for him and how he’ll navigate through this new chapter without his trusted PR by his side.

Liam’s resignation followed when Maya Henry, his former fiancee, initiated legal actions against the singer, claiming he had been persistently reaching out to her.

It appears that Liam’s entire music career, which he had established over the past eight years as a solo artist, is falling apart. There isn’t much of it left for him now.

‘It must have absolutely devastated him.’
