Ahead of the release of his fourth album, 'Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally.', Harry Styles has spoken about the death of his One Direction bandmate Liam Payne. The comments come after Harry performed his live TV debut of 'Aperture' at The BRIT Awards with Mastercard.
In an interview with Apple Music, Harry explained how it was hard losing a friend, but particularly hard to lose someone who was similar to him in so many ways. The 'Harry's House' singer explained: "I saw someone with the kindest heart who just wanted to be great.
"It was a really important moment for me, in terms of taking a look at my life and being able to say to myself: 'OK, what do I want to do with my life? How do I want to live my life?'
"And I think the greatest way you can honour your friends who pass away is by living your life to the fullest."
In the interview with Zane Lowe, Harry also admitted that he still struggles with the death of Liam, who passed away in October 2024 after falling from a balcony in Bueno Aires, Argentina.
The singer explained: "I think there was a period when he passed away where I really struggled with acknowledging how strange it is to have people own part of your grief in a way.
"I have such strong feelings around my friend passing away. And then suddenly being aware of a desire from other people of you to convey that in some way, or it means you’re not feeling what you’re feeling, you know?"
Harry interview comes in the week that he is due to release his fourth solo album, on 6th March. The album's release will be accompanied by a launch gig taking place in Manchester on the same day. The one-off gig will also be available to watch on Netflix from 8th March.
Later this year, Harry will start his record-breaking tour, which includes 12 nights at Wembley where Shania Twain will be his special guest.
