Following Payne’s death, Malik said he “never had to thank” his fellow bandmate for supporting him through some of the “toughest” times in his life.

‘I will forever cherish all the memories I have with you in my heart. ‘There are no words that can justify or explain how I feel right now, other than I’m devastated.
