Ruth Gibbins has praised her late brother Liam Payne’s performance on Netflix’s Building the Band, which was filmed prior to his tragic passing.
Liam Payne’s sister Ruth shared her “immeasurable pride” after seeing her late brother in his final TV appearance. The late One Direction star, who tragically passed away at 31 last year after falling from a hotel balcony in Argentina, features as a judge in the forthcoming Netflix series called Building the Band.
His sister Ruth Gibbins said she was “heartbroken” that he won’t have the opportunity to see himself on the show. Ruth shared on her Instagram Stories: “I didn’t know whether to share this, but it felt odd when I’ve raved about Liam’s work and achievements for the past 15 years.
He never had the opportunity to see how talented he is in this show, and I’m heartbroken. We all told him this while we were filming, but watching it back, wow! He knew he had done a good job. “.
You’re a star, Liam, you’ve always been and will always be, Gibbins continued. I witnessed a variety of emotions while watching this, but unfathomable pride was one of them all. Every day, I miss you more.
Presenter AJ McLean has assured viewers that the series is “unique anything you have ever seen before” when it premieres on Netflix on July 9.
The Backstreet Boys singer stated last month: “Today’s most talented singers in the world will audition for each other and choose their own bandmates before ever seeing them.
“Our judge and mentor Nicole Scherzinger, and guest judges Kelly Rowland and the late Liam Payne, are from some of the biggest bands of all time. This show is all about one word: chemistry. And believe me: in a band, you really need some good chemistry.”
Before his tragic passing in October, Liam had just finished filming for the program, which features singers forming a band despite being kept in separate booths so they couldn’t see one another.
The series’ summary states that “the contestants have to go on musical compatibility, connection, chemistry, and merit… with incredible performances, compelling drama, and one big goal: to find the next great music band – the stage is set for an unforgettable experience.”
Meanwhile, Liam’s ex-boyfriend DJ Fat Tony recently admitted to trying to “help” the singer with “demons” as a drug.
The musician, 59, told The Times Magazine, “I tried to help Liam Payne with his demons. I’ve been sober for 18 years. He was a truly close friend, incredible.
He “got clean and sober at many amazing times.” Not everyone achieves this. What transpired by falling from the balcony is a real shame. It has devastated me.
“Our industry is heavily dependent on addiction,” says one employee. Being sober and clean is perceived as more problematic than drinking and driving high. They can assist you on your journey to recovery from drug and alcohol, but not to recovery.
