Keep reading to find out more… In her statement, Nicola seemingly confirmed she found out about the passing of her brother via the news on her phone. “I have posted about Liam and his achievements over the years with a proud sister alert and that has stood then, now and always!!! When I saw the news pop up on my phone that you had left us I went cold. I wanted so much for it to be untrue. I have spent days hoping that it was a mistake and somebody has got it wrong,” Nicola wrote. She continued, “You were truly too good for this earth, you are an angel who lived to make people smile and be happy. You have always shown kindness to everyone you met and it shows with just how many people have confirmed what we always knew! We don’t have many pictures together as we never really did that as a family, we never wanted you to feel like you were in a room of fans. But we were your biggest fans – always and forever.” “Your talent alone puts your miles ahead, but also you being you. I have been looking back at the messages from the night I had Ffion, how excited you were to meet her, the jokes we all shared and the laughter that you knew we all needed,” Nicola continued. “You led your life with a motto of, ‘Why bother doing something unless you are brilliant at it?’ And Liam, you were certainly brilliant at everything you did. Unfortunately, this cruel world is always too quick to judge someone from a five-second clips, they then think it entitles them to be able to speak like they know you. We knew you, and we loved you.” She concluded, “I hope that you finally found some peace up there and that you always continue to look after us all as you have done in life. We will make sure Bear knows about his daddy and how much you loved him. We promise this. See you soon, Liam. Love you xx.” Liam‘s other sister, Ruth, also released a statement on his passing. Our continued thoughts are with Liam‘s friends, family, and loved ones. RIP.
