Niall Horan Plays Voice of Late One Direction Bandmate Liam Payne During Concert Tribute
Horan turned the closing track into a tribute, and Payne’s recorded voice played as the arena went quiet.
- On Tuesday, September 22, 2026, Niall Horan paid tribute to late One Direction bandmate Liam Payne during the opening night of his Dinner Party Live on Tour in Birmingham, England, by playing a recording of Payne's voice.
- Written to honor Payne, the track 'End of an Era' provided the backdrop for the tribute. Payne died in October 2024 after falling from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
- In the recording, Payne said, "We thought something might happen but never anything like this." He reflected on his journey, noting, "I always try to remind myself of where I've come from and where I've managed to get to in my life."
- While the arena lights dimmed, Horan stood solemnly on stage with his hands on his hips in apparent reflection. He previously noted remaining grateful that his final memory of Payne was "happy."
- Songwriting for the track began years ago, but Horan revised it following Payne's death to better express his grief. The two singers met on The X Factor in 2010, forming One Direction alongside Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, and Zayn Malik.
