Liam Payne’s Last Instagram Post Is Filled With Condolences

Payne has three posts pinned to his Instagram account. All three, from the beginning of the year, are promos for his single “Teardrops.” The song is about a broken relationship.

“Don’t know how to love you when I am broken too. All we do is break and bend. I’m struggling to see the sunrise lately. Really wish that I could mend all the little things that make you crazy. Checking all my friends, tryna to see what I did last night. Lately, I’m hating on myself ’cause I hate it when I make you cry,” the lyrics read.

Some fans have left condolences on those three posts while others have flocked to his most recent upload from May to share their disbelief.

“Rest in peace Liam,” one person wrote, adding a white dove emoji and a white heart.

“I just opened Instagram, and the first post that appears is that Liam Payne died???” someone else said.

“Bro are you kidding me rn,” a third comment read.

“Rest in peace Liam, you were my childhood,” a fourth Instagram user added.

Liam Payne’s Last Post on X Was a Tribute to His Fans

In March 2024, Payne shared what would become his last post on X, formerly Twitter. His post was a video collage of artwork that was made for him by fans.

“You are all SO talented, I’m very lucky to have you all,” he captioned the post.

Payne rose to fame when he was a teenager. He went on “The X Factor” where he ended up becoming part of One Direction — a boy band put together by Simon Cowell.

The guys had a successful career for many years, but the group broke up in 2015.

“I don’t wanna go into too much detail, but there was a lot of politics going on. Certain people were doing certain things, certain people didn’t wanna sign contracts, so I knew something was happening. So I just got ahead of the curve, if I’m being honest with you. I was like, ‘I’m just gonna get out of it. I think this is done,'” Malik told EW in an article published in July 2023.

All of the members went on to have successful solo careers, including Payne.
