One Direction fans were left emotional on the final night of Harry Styles's Wembley Stadium run, as Liam Payne's family was spotted in the 80,000-seat venue. The 32-year-old wrapped up his 12 record-breaking stadium shows with a poignant speech, paying tribute to his former bandmates, including Payne, who died in 2024.
Family's presence at concert
On the final night of his Together, Together tour on Saturday in London, fans spotted the late star's family in a seated area of the stadium. In a video shared by Styles fans on social media, Payne's mum Karen, dad Geoff, sister Ruth and her son Ashton were seen sitting in a row at the concert. The family were in a section of the stadium that appeared to be exclusively for them, with two figures clad in black standing at the rear of the zone.
The clip left fans teary after Payne's death aged 31, when he fell from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Fan reactions
1D fan Kendall wrote that she hoped they had 'the best time ever' in the comments section to the clip, while Quinnie said they were 'sobbing' and Linda wrote: 'This means so much to me.' 'Liam's parents honouring him with their presence to support Harry,' wrote Roxx on X. 'Because Liam would have done that. Liam would have wanted that. Liam would have cheered the loudest, and he always did for any of the other boys. Man, I'm violently sobbing.'
Styles' tribute to One Direction
During his final gig, Styles paid tribute to his former One Direction bandmates, after the jumbotron played a clip of them performing on The X Factor, where they got their big break. 'I wouldn't be on this stage if it wasn't for four friends of mine that were a massive part of this journey,' he told the crowd. 'I wanna thank Niall, Louis, Zayn and my dear friend Liam for these nights and everything that I learned in this time, the friendship, everything…' he said, to a huge reaction in the stadium at the mention of his former bandmates.
'None of this would be possible, I wouldn't be here without you, thank you so much.'
Record-breaking tour
It was an emotional night in the north London stadium, as Styles broke the record for most concerts performed at Wembley by any artist during a single year or a solo artist during one concert run. The tour for his fourth studio album, Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally, was originally billed for six nights but was extended due to high demand.
