The touching tribute saw Louis call Liam one of his best friends and the "most vital part of One Direction". Alongside a pair of the two embracing and smiling, Louis wrote: "Liam was an incredible song writer with a great sense of melody, we often spoke of getting back in the studio together to try and recreate the writing chemistry we had built up in the band.

"And for the record, Liam was in my opinion the most vital part of One Direction. His experience from a young age, his perfect pitch, his stage presence, his gift for writing. The list goes on. Thank you for shaping us Liam."
