Simon Cowell, The X Factor judge who played a vital role in One Direction’s rise into the spotlight, has issued a statement following Liam Payne’s death.
After the pop star fell three stories from a hotel balcony on October 16, tributes poured in from notable figures, including the four other band members.
Simon’s statement came two days later, saying, “You never really know how you feel about someone until a moment like this happens.”
