Harry Styles’ mum joins fans in paying tribute to Liam Payne on the one year anniversary of his death

by

Anne Twist, Harry Styles’ mother, has shared a heartfelt message remembering Liam Payne on the one-year anniversary of his passing.

The singer tragically passed away at the age of 31 in October 2024 after a fall from a hotel balcony in Argentina. Tests later showed he had alcohol, cocaine, and a prescribed antidepressant in his system.

One touching tribute shared on Thursday came from the mother of a member of Liam’s band.

Anne shared a heartfelt tribute from the All On The Board Instagram page, writing: ‘I hope heaven is a peaceful and safe place for you, filled with all the love from those of us here on Earth.’

The message was signed with love from your family, friends, the members of One Direction, and all the Directioners, and included special wishes for your son, Bear.

Fans who had followed Liam for years shared heartfelt messages on X, saying his voice would be remembered forever, even after his untimely passing.

We’ll deeply miss Liam. His incredible voice and spirit will always be remembered, and his music continues to inspire. Rest in peace.

I’ll never stop loving and missing you. Thank you for all the joy you brought into my life. Rest in peace, my dear friend. It’s hard to believe it’s already been a year.

‘Forever in our hearts, his music will always be with me;

It’s been a year, and while you’d expect the pain to lessen with time, it hasn’t for me. Some days, the grief feels unbearable. I miss Liam terribly, and I think about him every single day.

‘Still deeply missed today; He’s looking up at the rest of the boys and he’s so proud I know it;

It’s hard to believe a year has passed. I still remember the shock and excitement I felt when I found out, and it still doesn’t feel quite real. Even though I never had the chance to meet him, it feels like a significant loss.

It’s heartbreaking to see so many young lives lost to substance abuse and mental health challenges. He will be fondly remembered and deeply missed.

After Liam passed away last year, his former bandmates each shared heartfelt messages remembering him. A month later, they came together again at his funeral, marking their first reunion since the band broke up in 2016.

Last week, Liam’s girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, shared that she also felt hopeless and didn’t want to go on living after he passed away.

She slipped into a two-month depression after the One Direction singer’s tragic passing.

Honestly, for a long time, I was just going through the motions, really struggling with grief and pain. I wasn’t actively trying to *live* life, just… existing. It was a tough period where I wasn’t really engaged with anything.

After a few weeks, she finally understood that she needed to start living her life and get out of bed each day.

Kate said she started by setting an alarm to get out of bed one hour earlier day after day.

She started exercising regularly, eating a healthy diet, and focusing on living a fulfilling life, both for her own well-being and for the sake of Liam.

Because Liam passed away without a will, he died intestate. This means his estate will be divided among his children, as he was not married.

Okay, so everyone’s saying Liam’s finally setting things right for his little boy, Bear! After everything – and honestly, it’s been *a lot* – it looks like he managed to hold onto a good chunk of the money he made back in the boyband days. Despite all his struggles, he’s apparently putting it all in a trust for Bear, which just… makes me so happy for them both! It’s amazing he was able to secure his son’s future after everything he’s been through.

I was really surprised to read in the Daily Mail back in May that Liam’s ex, Cheryl, is actually in charge of looking after his money until their son, Bear, is grown up. It’s interesting to know she’s been given that responsibility.

People close to the former singer said he was determined to ensure his son was financially secure, no matter what happened to him.

Court records show that Payne’s estate was initially valued at £28.6 million, but after covering his debts and expenses, the final amount was reduced to £24.3 million.

A friend of the singer said it’s somewhat comforting to know that Bear will be well taken care of and won’t need for anything, at least thanks to the singer’s provisions.

Oh my gosh, someone who was close to Liam told me the sweetest thing! Apparently, he had a really good team around him for a while, people who kept him grounded. And he *loved* Bear, absolutely adored him! He was always determined to make sure Bear was financially secure, he really wanted to do right by him, you know?

After Liam passed away, a limited grant of probate (Ad Colligenda Bona) was issued for his estate. This type of grant is often used when the executors of an estate quickly find a buyer for the deceased’s property, allowing the sale to proceed shortly after death.

Cheryl’s name appeared in the legal papers with Richard Bray, a prominent music lawyer who has worked with artists like Ed Sheeran.

Fans were shocked and saddened by Liam’s unexpected death in October. He fell from a balcony on the third floor of the Casa Sur Hotel while in Argentina.

The official cause of death was determined to be polytrauma, meaning the person suffered multiple, serious injuries.

In Argentina, five people are facing charges related to the death of a singer who fell from a balcony on the third floor.

Authorities in Argentina have charged the hotel manager, a receptionist, and an associate of Payne with manslaughter, according to a prior statement from the National Criminal and Correctional Prosecutor’s Office.
