The Ask and You Shall Receive singer added that she loved working with Payne, as he was “such a joy to be around on and off stage.” Ora expressed her love and prayers for his family and loved ones, stating that their song For You now takes on a “whole new meaning” for her.
Released alongside the third film in the Fifty Shades franchise, For You became a successful hit for both Ora and Payne, charting at No. 8 in the UK and No. 76 in the US. The song, which received music video treatment, also appeared on both of their respective albums, Phoenix and LP1.
After being pronounced dead at the scene by local authorities, an investigation is currently underway to determine the circumstances surrounding Payne’s demise, according to officials.
