Rita Ora paid an emotional tribute to the late Liam Payne while hosting the MTV Europe Music Awards 2024
Rita Ora has spoken out about her fondness for the late Liam Payne.
“Just want to take a moment to remember someone that was very, very dear to us. We lost him recently and he was a big part of the MTV world, and my world, and I think a lot of yours at home and everybody in here tonight,” Ora said into the mic during the ceremony, which was staged at Co-op Live in Manchester, England. Footage from the moment was shared via X by Pop Crave on Sunday night.
Ora, who worked with Payne on the track, “For You,” which featured in the 2018 film Fifty Shades Freed, then began to visibly feel the tribute’s weight, as her voice started to tremble while she pushed on. “He brought so much joy to every room he walked into. And he left such a mark on this world,” she continued.
Ora’s MTV tribute was not the first time she has made reference to her friend since news of Payne’s death broke.
