Louis Tomlinson made a heartfelt promise to the son of Liam Payne on Thursday, one day after his friend’s tragic death in Buenos Aires.
In a lengthy tribute to his former One Direction bandmate, the 32-year-old singer vowed to look after Payne’s 7-year-old son Bear Grey, whom he shared with former girlfriend, British singer Cheryl Cole.
“A message to you Liam if you’re listening … I want you to know that if Bear ever needs me I will be the Uncle he needs in his life and tell him stories of how amazing his dad was,” Tomlinson wrote on Instagram.
Earlier in his tribute, Tomlinson said he felt “beyond lucky” to have had Payne in his life and was “struggling with the idea of saying goodbye.”
“Liam was somebody I looked up to everyday, such a positive, funny, and kind soul,” Tomlinson wrote.
