Harry Styles performed an unreleased song dedicated to his late One Direction bandmate Liam Payne on the two-year anniversary of his death.
Harry Styles performed an unreleased song at Madison Square Garden on Friday in tribute to his late One Direction bandmate Liam Payne, marking the two-year anniversary of Payne's death. The track, titled What Is Enough, included the lines: 'I could tell you what it's like to bury a friend on a Wednesday night gathered in the garden around a fire. You dance until you're tired. Now you don't. Now you never will, will you?'
Addressing the New York venue, Styles, 32, told the audience: 'There are so many people in my life, friends and people that I've worked with, that I wouldn't have been able to do this without. And two years ago today, I lost one of those friends.' He stressed the importance of looking after one another, telling the stadium to 'get home safe' and 'tell someone you love that you love them.'
Payne, who rose to fame with Styles, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik on ITV's The X Factor in 2010, died aged 31 after falling from a hotel balcony in Argentina on 16 October 2024. One Direction became a chart-topping global phenomenon, known for songs including Story Of My Life and What Makes You Beautiful, before going on hiatus in 2016.
