One Direction’s Liam Payne died Wednesday after he reportedly jumped from his hotel balcony in Buenos Aires. It’s been almost nine years since the British-Irish boyband’s final performance, and the official One Direction Instagram account has mostly been dormant since then. But today, Payne’s former bandmates Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, and Zayn Malik — the latter of whom walked away from the group in 2015 — shared a rare post in his memory.
