On a night filled with music and memories, the late One Direction member Liam Payne was honored with a heartfelt tribute, with fans feeling all the emotions.

During the 2025 Brit Awards on Saturday, March 1, comedian Jack Whitehall celebrated Liam's legacy with a special video tribute.

He achieved so much in the short time that he was on this earth and was not only a supremely gifted musician but an incredibly kind soul who touched the lives of everyone he came into contact with,” he continued.

“We have so many amazing memories of Liam here at the BRITs, so tonight, we celebrate his legacy and look back and remember the remarkable Liam Payne."

In the video, Liam was seen singing One Direction's "Little Things," accompanied by a montage of photos and videos from his childhood to his journey as a musician.

After the heartfelt tribute, Liam Payne's former bandmate, Louis Tomlinson, expressed his gratitude to the BRIT Awards for honoring Liam with such a special moment.
