Nearly one year after Liam Payne died , his former One Direction bandmate Louis Tomlinson is opening up about Payne’s death.
“It was really, really, impossibly difficult for me to deal with losing Liam,” Tomlinson told Rolling Stone UK in an interview published on Tuesday. “Naively, I thought that because at this point, I’m relatively well versed in grief for my age, that it might soften the blow. [That was] super-naive. It’s very different. I’ve never lost a friend before.”
Payne, who was 31, died after he fell from a hotel balcony in Argentina. Tomlinson and their former bandmates Harry Styles, Niall Horan and Zayn Malik all paid tribute to Payne on social media , though they have chosen to keep most details of their grieving processes private.
