Nicole Scherzinger, last to contact Liam Payne, shares heartfelt final message before his passing

Nicole Scherzinger kept communication with Liam Payne until his death, apparently messaging the former One Direction member on the day he died.

Nicole Scherzinger was instrumental in forming the group that is currently known as One Direction in 2010.

Broadway composer Andrew Lloyd Webber, who composed the music for Nicole’s role in Sunset Boulevard, broke the news.

According to Lloyd Webber, “I suppose there’s something that’s not said, and I think I can say that, which is that she definitely channeled Liam from One Direction,” he went on, “and on Wednesday, when he died, she was still texting him that day.”

Just hours after hearing of Liam’s passing, Nicole continued to play at Sunset Boulevard, according to Lloyd, who added, “I just heard that he passed away, and the fact that she did the show is extraordinary.” She is unquestionably one of the greatest artists I have ever collaborated with, and she is an incredible lady.”

He went on to say, “The one thing about Nicole is that once she commits to something, she’s the most amazing company member and leader of any artist I know.”

As a judge on The X Factor UK, Nicole gained recognition for her suggestion that Liam Payne form a band with Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, Harry Styles, and Zayn Malik. This is how One Direction came to be.

In a heartfelt homage to her friend Liam Payne, the former member of Pussycat Dolls said on Instagram on Friday: “Dear Liam, I will forever cherish and treasure the time we shared together, from fifteen years when One Direction was born until just a few weeks ago.”

She went on: “Working with you lately has been enjoyable. We had deep and joyful chats, and I will always remember our love and enthusiasm for music. Although I am thankful to have known your wonderful soul, loving heart, and personality, it has been very difficult to cope without you here. For those who actually knew you, you filled their lives with laughter, pleasure, and light. My buddy, you will always be in my heart, and I shall miss you. Your family is in my prayers and thoughts.
