Harry Styles paid an emotional tribute to Liam Payne with a new song, two years after his death.<\/p>\n

\n Liam died on October 16, 2024, after falling from a balcony at his hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina and exactly two years to the day of his death, his One Direction bandmate
\n 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.\n <\/p>\n

According to Us Weekly, Harry told the crowd: \u201cI feel incredibly lucky to get to play these shows here in New York, and this building means a lot to me as I\u2019ve said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI 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\u2019ve worked with, that I wouldn\u2019t have been able to do this without. And two years ago today, I lost one of those friends.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo many people who have touched my life in such special ways and who I wouldn\u2019t be here without. I\u2019m gonna play you a song I wrote for my friend about two years ago, if that\u2019s all right.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bang Showbiz 17 Oct, 2026 06:25 PM2 mins to read Subscribe to listenAccess to Herald Premium articles require…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":633775,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[74,8831,634,16719,156,9859,293,20409,157,117,111,139,69,10142,62589,8628,18923,61,20838,1237,102,1530],"class_list":["post-633774","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-after","tag-an","tag-death","tag-emotional","tag-entertainment","tag-harry","tag-his","tag-liam","tag-music","tag-new","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-paid","tag-payne","tag-song","tag-styles","tag-to","tag-tribute","tag-two","tag-with","tag-years"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/633774","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=633774"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/633774\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/633775"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=633774"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=633774"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=633774"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
