Rita Ora has paid tribute to late One Direction singer Liam Payne with an emotional performs just hours after his death.

On the night of October 16, it was announced that Liam Payne had died at the age of 31 after falling from a third-floor balcony at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Per The Guardian, the Argentinian prosecutor’s office revealed that Payne’s cause of death was due to multiple traumas and internal and external bleeding – his head injuries were serious enough to cause death.

Just hours after the news of Liam Payne’s tragic death broke, Ora – who collaborated with Payne in 2018 on ‘For You’ from the Fifty Shades Freed soundtrack – took to the stage in Osaka, Japan for a performance, where she honoured her deceased friend.

 

During the set, Ora performed ‘For You’, as an image of herself with Payne was shown on the screen behind her. Halfway through the performance, Ora announced “I can’t even sing this right now — can you do it for me?”, as she sat on a riser with her head in hands, appearing to be crying.

Later, she mouthed “I’m sorry” to the audience before walking offstage with her arms crossed.

 

After the performance, Ora took to social media to share that same photograph of herself with Liam in the studio. She wrote in Payne’s memory: “I’m devastated

It's been an undoubtedly hectic few weeks for Kanye West and Bianca Censori. Earlier this month, the Yeezy founder was hit with a lawsuit from his former assistant, Lauren Pisciotta. Pisciotta accuses Ye of allegedly drugging and sexually assaulting her at a studio session with Diddy, telling her he wanted to sleep with Censori's mother and more.

On top of that, the Chicago-born artist is also currently working on his upcoming album, Bully. He's reportedly hunkered down in a Tokyo hotel room to do so but took a break yesterday for a night on the town. He and Censori were spotted at the Gold Bar at EDITION with a table of friends and appeared to be in good spirits.

Censori even debuted an unexpected new hairstyle, as her signature short, dark hair was teased to the max. Ye was all smiles despite all of the obstacles he's currently facing. This could be due to the progress he's made on his album so far, though this is unconfirmed. Hip-hop journalist Touré provided fans with exciting new details of the project last week, however.

"This album is 100% him," a source reportedly told Touré. "He's producing everything 100% himself. This will be 100% Kanye West, which it hasn't been in many, many years."
