A Bench Dedicated to late singer Liam Payne; Link To One Direction. There has been a “beautiful” memorial to Liam Payne. Tragically, the One Direction singer passed away in October 2024 at the age of just 31. He fell from a hotel’s third story. According to an autopsy, Liam died immediately following his fall, which resulted in “multiple traumatic injuries” and “internal and external hemorrhage.”
However, over three months later, Clevedon Pier displayed a plaque honoring Liam for a unique cause. On March 25, 2014, Liam and his former bandmates Harry, Louis, Niall, and Zayn filmed portions of the music video for their song “You & I” on the pier.
The official Clevedon Pier account posted a picture of the plaque and the original, which documented their day on the pier, on X, formerly known as Twitter. The most recent one is titled “Remembering Liam Payne – One Direction. 29.08.1993 – 16.10.2024.” “If you’re lost just look for me, you’ll find me in the region of the summer stars,” which is a line from the band Walking in the Wind, was also included.
Captioning their upload, Clevedon Pier said: “We are pleased to share that there is now a plaque in memory of Liam Payne on Clevedon Pier. The beautiful plaque is inscribed with lyrics from one of Liam’s favourite songs. @onedirection recorded their award winning video You & I on #ClevedonPier.”
Messages from Liam’s followers quickly flooded the post, which has received over 2,000 likes. Someone exclaimed, “Beautiful!” “You made me cry but this is such a good gesture thank you so much for him, his family and friends,” commented another. “This is incredibly lovely and thoughtful,” remarked a third. Many thanks. Another continued typing in the interim: “Beautiful! The song selection and homage to Liam are flawless. From a fan, thank you.”
It comes after Liam’s admirers were incensed when his purported close friend Roger Nores filed a defamation lawsuit against Payne’s distraught father, Geoff. Nores’ name has surfaced multiple times throughout the investigation into Liam’s death.
