The Angel of My Dreams singer noted in her tribute message that she and Payne “fell out of touch as the years went by, but back in 2008, he was the first friend” she made in this industry. “Both of us so young and ambitious, both hoping we’d make it. I hope you are at peace now.”

“I ran into him by chance. I found out on Twitter that he was here for Niall’s show,” she told the outlet. “We took photos together. I waited for him to approach us, and we took pictures with all the fans,” Noelia recalled, adding, “He talked to us, hugged us, and even made jokes.”
She noted that when Horan began singing one of the One Direction songs, everyone was looking at Payne, who was “dancing, waving, and cheering.”
