Super Bowl: Louis Tomlinson Makes Appearance After Liam Payne's Death

“I am beyond devastated to be writing this but yesterday I lost a brother,” Louis wrote in an Oct. 17 Instagram post. “Liam was somebody I looked up to everyday, such a positive, funny, and kind soul.”

“I feel beyond lucky to have had you in my life but I’m really struggling with the idea of saying goodbye,” he continued. “I’m so grateful that we got even closer since the band, speaking on the phone for hours, reminiscing about all the thousands of amazing memories we had together is a luxury I thought I’d have with you for life.”

And beyond seeing Liam as a brother, Louis—who shares son Freddie, 8, with ex-girlfriend Briana Jungwirth—went on to promise the late singer that his son Bear, who the late singer shares with ex Cheryl Cole, would forever have his love and support.

“I want you to know,” Louis added, “that if Bear ever needs me I will be the Uncle he needs in his life and tell him stories of how amazing his dad was.”
