A fan told Liam Payne ‘you saved my life’ in a touching moment filmed shortly before the singer’s tragic death. The heartwarming interaction was shared online by TikToker and fan @Leogrun99, prompting thousands of emotional responses from fans in the wake of Liam’s death.
The 31-year-old star was found dead on Wednesday (October 16) after falling from the third floor of a hotel in Palermo, Buenos Aires, officials confirmed. The star had recently travelled to Argentina to watch his former One Direction bandmate Niall Horan perform.
In footage shared on TikTok, Liam appears to be enthusiastically greeting fans outside his hotel. While social media users were unclear exactly when the videos were filmed, it’s thought to come from one of Liam’s final interactions with supporters.
In one of the moving clips, a fan tells Liam: “You saved my life.” In response, Liam pulls him in for a hug, and they pose for a photo showing off their matching tattoos.
In the clip, Liam also jokes and laughs with the fan before sharing how he designed another of his tattoos that the fan admired. The star was known for his multiple tattoos, including his family coat of arms and his X-Factor number in Roman numerals.
The fan shared more clips filmed on the same day. One video shows Liam asking fans for help with his Spanish and another which saw the singer waving to the crowd from afar. “Are you okay, Liam?” a fan asks in one of the poignant clips. “Yeah, I’m good,” he replied.
Reacting to the posts, heartbroken fans said they took comfort from the footage. “He met a true fan right in the end,” one commented.
Another urged people to check on the fan, adding: “So glad he was able to show him love.” Someone else simply penned: “Does it ever drive you crazy just how fast the night changes??”
