Tom Parker's widow is devastated by the death of "kind soul" Liam Payne.
The former One Direction singer passed away on Wednesday (16.10.24) at the age of 31 after falling from the balcony of his hotel room in Argentina, and Kelsey Parker has recalled the support he gave her family both while the Wanted star was battling a brain tumour and in the wake of his death in March 2022.
Kelsey wrote on Instagram: "Devastated hearing the news.
"Liam you were one of the kindest souls who supported Tom and I. You’ve continued to support me and the children in recent years [heart emoji]
"I will never forget the love and support you showed to us.
"I really hope you have found peace [prayer emoji]
"My thoughts are with your family, friends and loved ones [heart emoji] (sic)"
Kelsey also urged fans to remember "life is too damn short."
She captioned another post, which had One Direction's 2012 single 'Little Things' playing in the background: "SO LOVE A LITTLE DEEPER, HUG A LITTLE TIGHTER, AND NEVER PASS UP THE CHANCE TO SAY 'I LOVE YOU' TO THOSE YOU LOVE BECAUSE TOMORROW IS NEVER PROMISED. [prayer, star and heart emojis] (sic)"
Kelsey's posts came shortly after Tom's bandmate Max George also thanked Liam for his support when the 'Glad You Came' hitmaker passed away.
Max wrote alongside a number of photos: "Absolutely devastating news.
"I met Liam way back when 1D were on 'X Factor'. Over the last few years I had the pleasure of getting to know him personally and spent some treasured time with him.
"Liam was absolutely wonderful in terms of support when Tom fell ill, performing at the Royal Albert Hall with us for Stand Up To Cancer.
"He supported me a lot personally after Tom passed. I will never forget that,.
"My thoughts are with his family, friends and fans all around the world at this tragic time. Rest in Peace Liam. Much love brother [black heart emoji] (sic)"
