Liam Payne's mentor Nicole Scherzinger is remembering the former One Direction member after he tragically passed away last week.
Scherzinger shared a heartbreaking photo of the late singer, who fell to his death from the third-floor balcony of his hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
She claimed to have met the 31-year-old just weeks before his unexpected death.
The former Pussycat Dolls singer, who first crossed paths with Liam when he auditoned on The X Factor back in 2010, penned an emotional message that read, “Dear Liam, I will forever cherish and treasure the time we shared together, from fifteen years ago when One Direction was born, right up until just a few weeks ago.
Expressing her grief over his sudden death, she went on to add, “It was such a blessing to get to work with you recently. We shared the same love and passion for music, and I will forever remember the meaningful and joyful conversations we had.”
In the snap, Liam seemed happy and relaxed as he flashed a beaming smile at the camera alongside Nicole and Kelly Rowland.
