    He continued, “Even though you were younger than me you were always more sensible than me, you were headstrong, opinionated, and gave no f–ks about telling people when they were wrong.

    “When it came to the music Liam, you were the most qualified in every sense. I knew nothing in comparison,I was a novice child with no experience and you were already a professional.”

    Malik said he “lost a brother” and that he wished he could give Payne a hug “one last time.”

    The “Night Changes” singer concluded, “There is no words that justify or explain how I feel right now other than beyond devastated. I hope that wherever you are right now you are good and are at peace.”

    Payne died at age 31 on Wednesday after falling three stories from his hotel room at CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires.

    His fall resulted in a fractured skull and authorities determined his cause of death was from multiple traumas, internal and external bleeding that he sustained due to his injuries.

    Buenos Aires police told TMZ Friday that the singer was under the influence of a hallucinogenic drug called “cristal” when he died, which may have led to his fall.

    He had been seen acting erratic leading up to his death and smashed a laptop in the hotel’s lobby.

    His death investigation is still ongoing.
