Liam Payne’s sister Nicola found out about singer’s death online: ‘I went cold’

Liam Payne’s sister Nicola revealed she found out about the singer’s death online.

While paying tribute to her younger brother via social media following his death on Oct. 16, she wrote, “I have posted about Liam and his achievements over the years with a proud sister alert and that has stood then, now and always!!!

“When I saw the news pop up on my phone that you had left us I went cold, I wanted so much for this to be untrue. I have spent days hoping that it was a mistake and somebody has got it wrong,” she revealed before noting that he was “too good for this earth.”

She also remembered him as an “angel who just lived for making people smile and happy” and “showing kindness to everyone” he met.

Nicola pointed out that, as a family, they didn’t take “many pictures” with the singer because they didn’t want to make him feel like he was “in a room of fans.” However, they were his “biggest fans always and forever.”

In her heartwrenching message, Nicola recalled when Liam met her daughter, Ffion, and “how excited” he was to be an uncle.

“You led your life with a motto of why bother doing something unless you are brilliant at it, and Liam you were certainly brilliant at everything you did!! Unfortunately this cruel world is always to [sic] quick to judge someone from a few 5 second clips, they then think it entitles them to be able to speak like they know you. We knew you and we loved you,” she continued.

“I hope you have finally found peace up there and that you’ll continue to look after us all as you have done in life.”

Nicola also promised that the family “will make sure [his son] Bear knows about his daddy and how much you loved him.”
