The world has been grieving the passing of former One Direction Member, the singer and songwriter Liam Payne. Taking a moment during his set at Insomniac‘s EDC Orlando last Sunday, legendary Swedish DJ/Producer Alesso paid a touching tribute to his late friend. Both artists had deveolped a friendship recently. However, it all grew exponentially back in 2019 and the release of their collaboration, ‘Midnight.’

Alesso spoke directly to attendees on his personal relationship with the One Direction star. Moreover, just before he played their track ‘Midnight’ in Liam Payne’s memory, he voiced a soft and gentle message on the passing of his friend and colleague:
“the world has now lost a very talented musician, human being, and a dear friend of mine.”
