Harry had just completed a record-breaking 12-night stint at the iconic London stadium, with him getting emotional towards the end. As he reflected on his career, Harry touched on being in the group One Direction, and name checked each of the boys – including Liam who sadly died in October 2024. Harry thanked all four band members before singing Carla’s Song. According to concert goers and various videos circulating online, Harry said: “I wanna thank Niall, Zayn, Louis and my dear friend Liam. “Nights like these couldn’t happen without every friendship, I wouldn’t be up here without my friends and family, some of who are here tonight.” Harry also put a video of the boys from the beginning of the band on the big screen as the fan reacted. Liam died on October 16, 2024, at the age of 31. He fell from a third-floor balcony at the Casa Sur Hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina. One Direction were formed as a boyband on The X Factor in 2010 after each of the boys auditioned separately as solo artists. The group amassed a huge following and fan base, with them coming third place in the competition. They then went on to have a spectacular five-year run where they released five albums and headed on world tours, even breaking America. In 2016 the group went on an indefinite hiatus. Fans still hope that Harry, Niall, Louis and Zayn will reunite someday. Comment now
