Liam Payne’s girlfriend Kate Cassidy has shared a heartbreaking tribute to the One Direction star on the first anniversary of his tragic death
Kate Cassidy has revealed her final moments with Liam Payne before his tragic death.
The One Direction star plunged to his death from the balcony of his hotel room on the third floor at the CasaSur Palermo hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He died from “multiple trauma” sustained from the fall and suffered “internal and external bleeding”.
To mark the first anniversary of his death, his girlfriend Kate Cassidy has shared a heartfelt tribute to the late star. She posted a TikTok clip showing Liam attempting to lift her up into the air.
The amusing moment sees Liam try to hoist her up but, when he fails to do so, the pair burst out laughing. Kate paid tribute to Liam alongside the clip.
She wrote: “This video was taken during the last hour and last day Liam and I shared in this lifetime. I am forever grateful for the beautiful moments we shared. I will miss you for the rest of my life Liam.”
Kate also shared a black and white photo of her and Liam in bed with the singer planting a kiss on her cheek. She also posted a picture of the two embracing.
She wrote: “Today marks a full year without you here. I will forever hate goodbyes. I miss you Liam.”
Liam’s sister Ruth also shared a moving tribute to Liam. She wrote: “1 year, 12months, 52weeks, 365days… whichever way I say it, it still means the most heartbreaking truth that you’re not here any more.
“When you used to go away on tour, and I’d cry that you’d be gone for a while, I always knew you’d come back, but now I can’t get you home, I can’t meet up with you somewhere in the world, I can’t facetime or text to see how you’re doing, it’s an eternal homesick feeling because we can’t go back.”
She went on to say: “‘I underestimated grief, woah did I underestimate it. I am paralysed by it daily. I thought I had felt it before but I know the losses before you were just intense sadness, you are the loss of my life, the one person who I will miss at every single occasion in my life.”
‘I’d taken for granted that my little brother would be there through life, what a cruel lesson to learn in our 30s, that a sibling is not guaranteed to be a lifer, that I have to face this without you.”
Ruth also shared that she has been having a recurring nightmare about Liam’s final moments in the hotel room. She confessed that his death will “never make sense to her”.
