One Direction loss: Sister's heartfelt tribute to Liam Payne
Liam Payne's sister has spoken out by posting an extensive entry in which she addresses her late brother. Ruth Gibbins reminisces about their unique relationship and the difficulties the singer faced.
The aftermath of Liam Payne's tragic death continues to resonate. On Wednesday, the member of One Direction died prematurely following a fall from the third floor of the Casa Sur Palmero hotel in Buenos Aires. Unfortunately, despite the immediate intervention of medical staff, the rescue efforts proved unsuccessful, and the artist passed away at just 31 years old. The autopsy revealed that the cause of death was "multiple organ injuries" and "internal and external bleeding." The examination indicated a skull fracture along with 24 other serious injuries that resulted in immediate death.
The event shocked not only Liam Payne's fans but especially his loved ones. On Friday, his father appeared in front of the hotel where the musician died and laid flowers on the altar created by mourners. Cheryl Cole, with whom the singer had a son, made an emotional post, bidding farewell to her former partner.
Liam Payne's sister breaks her silence. She publishes a post with photos of her brother
On Saturday, one of Liam's sisters, Ruth Gibbins, broke her silence by posting an extensive entry addressing her brother. At the beginning, she noted that she still can't believe what happened.
(...)Liam is my best friend. No one ever made me laugh like he did. When he mimicked me, I always laughed, and he loved seeing how much laughter he could provoke - she writes, adding that she partly learned to drive thanks to her brother:
He moved out when he was 17 to chase his dreams, its this that forced me to finally pass my driving test during the xfactor live show weeks because I couldnt stand the thought of not being able to get to him

Further, Ruth recalls the early days of Liam's career.
I used to love picking him up from work when it all started, especially after concerts, speeding us away from venues or appearances, Liam plugging in his phone to show me the new songs for albums. Liam loved 1D, he loved his brothers and we talked about it so much.
Liam knew he could call me anytime, any day and I would pick up or that I would always fetch him if he needed to just come home - she continues, adding that she always knew her younger brother would be famous:
Liam was born with music in his veins, it was clear from a very young age he just had that quality that would make him a star
