Like never before, Simon Cowell opens his heart after the death of Liam Payne

Simon Cowell opens his heart after Liam Payne’s death

Despite Simon Cowell is world famous for his brutal objectivity about the starlets on his talent show, with the death of Liam Payne and the message he dedicated to him, the producer showed his most emotional and human side.

“This is so hard to put into words right now. Today I went out and thought about so many times we had together. I wanted you to know what I always said to the thousands of people who always asked me, ‘What’s Liam like? And I would tell them that you were kind, funny, sweet, thoughtful, talented, humble, focused. And how much love you genuinely felt for the fans,” Simon noted.

Likewise, she remembered the first time she met Liam, which meant she had to reject him from participating in The X Factor to recognize the perseverance and evolution of the artist when they met again later.

“I had to tell you when you were 14 that this wasn’t your time. And we both made a promise that we would see each other again. Many people would have given up. You didn’t do it. You came back and in a few months everyone knew Liam,” he explains in the text.

“And you never forgot the fans. I saw you spend so much time with people who wanted to get to know you. You really cared. You came to see me last year. Not for a meeting. Just to sit and talk. And we remember all the fun times we had together. And how proud you were to be a father. “When you were gone, I was reminded that you were still the sweet, kind boy I knew all those years ago.”
