Niall Horan's brother wants to "grab... and mind him" in the wake of Liam Payne's death.
Greg Horan has paid tribute to the former One Direction singer - who died on Wednesday (16.10.24) after falling from his hotel balcony - and admitted he was "heartbroken" by the passing of the star, describing him as "family" and pledged the 'Strip That Down' hitmaker will be "forever missed".
Sharing a black and white photo of Liam, Greg - who is six years older than Niall - wrote on Instagram: "To say I’m heartbroken is an understatement a weird feeling this morning and all night you were a top young boy to a man a son a brother you are only one of 4 lads I was happy enough to take my place in nialls life as a brother you will be forever missed Liam words can’t describe how much I want to grab my brother and mind him now while the world shows their memories of you and him and the boys .

Meanwhile, Zayn Malik's younger sister, Waliyha, is stunned by the death of Liam - who had seven-year-old son Bear with former girlfriend Cheryl Tweedy - and was lost for words.
She wrote on Instagram: "Literally heartbroken. RIP. I have no words."
Harry Styles' mother, Ann Twist, also paid tribute to Liam.
She shared a broken-hearted emoji and wrote on Instagram: "Just a boy …"
Liam's former bandmates - Niall, Zayn, Harry, and Louis Tomlinson - have yet to speak out about the tragic news.
