    Rita Ora paid a heartfelt tribute to Liam Payne at the MTV Europe Music Awards (EMAs) on Sunday (10.11.24)

    The 33-year-old pop star hosted the awards show at Co-op Live in Manchester, and Rita paid a glowing tribute to the former One Direction singer, who died in October, aged 31


    Rita - who collaborated with Liam on the 2018 single 'For You' - said: "I just want to take a moment to remember someone very, very dear to us. We lost him recently and he was a big part of the MTV world and my world.

    "Liam Payne was one of the kindest people that I knew."

    Rita also observed that Liam "left such a mark on the world".

    The pop star said: "He had the biggest heart and was always the first person to offer help in any way that he could. He brought so much joy to every room he walked into and he left such a mark on the world."

    Rita previously admitted to being "devastated" by Liam's passing.

    The singer took to social media in October to pay tribute to Liam, observing that he had "the kindest soul".

    Rita wrote on X: "I'm devastated [broken-heart emoji] He had the kindest soul, I will never forget. I loved working with him so much - he was just such a joy to be around on and off stage. This tragic news breaks my heart. Sending all my love and prayers to his family and loved ones. Our song For You takes on a whole new meaning for me now. R.I.P [dove emoji] (sic)"

    Rita also paid tribute to Liam during a concert in Osaka, Japan.

    The singer actually became visibly emotional as she performed a rendition of their hit single.
