During a performance in Liam Payne’s hometown of Wolverhampton, England, on Friday night (November 29), Zayn Malik honored his late One Direction bandmate by dedicating an emotional rendition of “It’s You” to him. In a fan-captured video of the performance shared on X, Malik shares some heartfelt words about Payne. “So, I’ve been doing something at the end of the show every night, and it’s being dedicated to my brother Liam Payne. Rest in peace. I hope you’re seeing this in your hometown tonight, Wolverhampton, this is for you Liam,” Malik said as he introduced “It’s You.”

During Malik’s Stairway to the Sky UK tour, he finishes each show with the words, “Liam Payne 1993-2024 Love You bro,” projected on the stage screen along with a red heart, while Zayn’s 2024 song “Stardust” plays over the speakers. Malik initially postponed the start of his first official solo tour following the news of Payne’s passing, but he started his run of live shows only days after attending Liam’s funeral. (Billboard)
