Breaking News: Liam Payne’s Cousin Ross Harris Mourns Singer’s Death, Mentions ‘Demons’ He Was Fighting…see more

Liam Payne’s cousin, singer Ross Harris, is remembering the late One Direction star.

“My young cousin. I’ve been trying to write something for a few days now, it still doesn’t feel real and probably never will,” Harris began his Instagram tribute to Payne on Monday, “I was lucky enough to spend a lot of time with you over the last few months, we’d become close again like the kids we were growing up together.

Late-night songwriting sessions, making plans to tour and travel, and practicing stupid impressions – we didn’t need much to have a good time,” Harris continued.

“It’s devastating to know I won’t see you again or wake up to a late-night FaceTime call (when you’d forget about the time difference) but we made a lot of memories which I’ll hold on to forever.

From being 13 years old learning Maroon 5 songs to bumping into you backstage at music festivals, we were always just a couple of kids hanging out.”
