Liam Payne Honored by Kate Cassidy with a Heartfelt Tattoo
Kate Cassidy, the girlfriend of Liam Payne, recently revealed a touching new tattoo just two months following the tragic passing of the former One Direction star in October. On Sunday, December 22, Kate, aged 25, took to her Instagram stories to showcase a beautiful angel wings tattoo inked on her index and middle fingers as a tribute to her late boyfriend. In the photo, she embraced her dog while the angel wings appeared prominently above her knuckles, captioning the post with a simple red heart emoji.
A Heartbreaking Loss and Lasting Memories
Liam, known for his hit « What Makes You Beautiful, » was only 31 years old when he passed away after falling from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Kate had been in a relationship with the singer since 2022 and had just spent two weeks vacationing together before returning home a few days before his untimely death. A week after his passing, she expressed her profound grief in a heartfelt Instagram post. « My heart is broken in a way I can’t express, » she wrote on October 23, accompanied by cherished photos of the couple. « I wish you could see the enormous impact you had on the world, even though it feels so dark right now. You brought so much joy and positivity to everyone—millions of fans, your family, your friends, and especially me. You are incredibly loved. » Kate also shared that they had exciting plans for their future together. « Just weeks ago, we were sitting outside on a beautiful evening envisioning our lives together, » she reminisced. « I keep your note close to me, even though you told me not to look at it. It said: ‘Me and Kate to marry in a year/engaged and together forever 444.’
On November 20, Kate attended Liam’s funeral, standing alongside his family and former bandmates Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson, and Niall Horan. This gathering marked their first reunion since Zayn departed from the group in 2015, with One Direction announcing an indefinite hiatus in 2016 as the artists embarked on solo careers. The group continued to honor their late friend, with Zayn dedicating his inaugural solo tour to Liam. After Zayn’s performance, a tribute appeared on screen reading: « Liam Payne. 1993-2024. I love you, my brother, » accompanied by a red heart. Zayn kicked off his « Stairway to the Sky » tour in Leeds, England, on November 23, having postponed the North American leg originally scheduled to start on October 23 in Washington D.C. due to Liam’s death. « Given the heartbreaking loss we’ve suffered this week, I’ve decided to postpone the American leg of the Stairway to the Sky tour, » Zayn announced on Instagram. « The dates are being rescheduled for January, and I will update you as soon as everything is sorted in the coming days. Your tickets will remain valid for the new dates. I love you all, and thank you for your understanding. »
Although the « PILLOWTALK » singer had drifted apart from his bandmates over the years, he quickly shared a personal tribute a day after the loss of his friend. « Liam, I found myself talking to you out loud, hoping you could hear me, » he wrote. « I can’t help but selfishly think there were so many more conversations to be had in our lives. » He continued, « I never had the chance to thank you for being there for me during some of the most challenging times in my life. My home felt distant as a 17-year-old, and you were always there with a positive perspective and reassuring smile, reminding me that you were my friend and that I was loved. »
