Liam Payne’s sister Ruth issues statement and ends with heartbreaking six words

Liam Payne’s devastated sister Ruth has spoken out for the first time about his death, as she issued a heartbreaking statement. Ruth posted a lengthy message on Instagram as she opened up about her feelings following the death of the One Direction star from Wolverhampton.

Singing off the deeply personal message, she said: “I’m sorry I couldn’t save you.” She then added: “One last time I need you to know, I’m here if you need anything. I’d drive to the end of the universe to bring you back.”

Ruth shared how Liam “never believed he was good enough.” She added: “You’ve had to try really hard to overcome all that was being aimed at you.”

Liam died at the age of 31 on Wednesday after falling from his hotel balcony in Argentina, where he had flown to support One Direction star Niall Horan on tour. Dad Geoff Payne was spotted arriving at the CasaSur Hotel on Friday after leaving his Wolverhampton home to fly out to South America.

He took time to read the outpouring of cards and letters from fans that have been left on the doorstep, the Mirror reports. Liam had a close-knit bond with his family, and fondly spoke of sisters Ruth and Nicola being his ‘friends for life.’

Ruth wrote: “Liam, my brain is struggling to catch up with what’s happening and I don’t understand where you’ve gone. I just want to drive to your house and walk in to music blasting and find you sat there writing a song or walk into your art phases and sit with you while you draw or craft.

“What I love most about you is your ability to make me laugh. I never chuckle as much as I do when I’m with you with anyone else. I’m always in awe of your talent it should be illegal to be so talented and just have the ability to not only be good at things but to be bloody great at everything you attempt, without even knowing you’re absolutely smashing it each time.

“I love your kindness and how proud I am to call you my brother and my best friend. You also make a great Sunday dinner too!

“I don’t feel this world was good enough or kind enough to have you, and quite often over the last few years you’ve had to really try hard to overcome all that was being aimed at you. You just wanted to be loved and to make people happy with your music.

“You never believed you were good enough. I hope you can now see this outpouring of love that you never received in your time.

“Thank you for changing my life. Thank you for the incredible memories, thank you for being the best brother and friend I ‘ll ever have! We’ll take care of Bear and he will always know how incredible his dad is and how much you idolise him.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t save you. Love you, oh how my heart misses you, Ru xxx” she signed off, before adding “One last time I need you to know, I’m here if you need anything. I’d drive to the end of the universe to bring you back.”
