Harry Styles took to the stage at Madison Square Garden in New York to debut the track What Is Enough, which he wrote about Payne.

According to Us Weekly, Harry told the crowd: “I feel incredibly lucky to get to play these shows here in New York, and this building means a lot to me as I’ve said.

“I feel incredibly proud when I get to look up there and see my name up there. There are so many people in my life, friends and people that I’ve worked with, that I wouldn’t have been able to do this without. And two years ago today, I lost one of those friends.

“So many people who have touched my life in such special ways and who I wouldn’t be here without. I’m gonna play you a song I wrote for my friend about two years ago, if that’s all right.”
