Liam Payne (from One Direction) es morte after fall from balcony

I took my then 12 year old and her friend to see One D at the Dome in 2014. The sound of 50,000 tween/teen girls shrieking will never leave my brain.

Then for her high school graduation (2020) we bought her tix to a Harry Styles show for that summer - of course COVID came and cancelled it, but Harry rescheduled a year later, but then he rescheduled again - they finally got to go see the show as sophomores in college.

One D was nothing more than a boy band but Harry has a very devoted following and has managed a pretty successful solo career.

The rest of those guys I'm sure are struggling with Lance Bass Syndrome while Harry is closer to Justin Timberlake status.

She was there (2014- wife went ) with a gaggle of girls. I didnt go for that exact reason ( shrilling tweens lol )

Annnnd if the Harry show was the Atlanta show ( iirc Oct 2021 ) - my girl was there. LOL. ( Mom again but this time just her plus un )

I dont look at any boy band begrudgingly- i just remember my baby girl, jumping up and down on her bed, blasting "Best song ever" and singing into a fake microphone with her 2 best friends as the back up dancers and having us record them. Or slumped over bed listening solo and getting lost in the lyrics.

At the end of the day, its entertainment and provides me with some sweet memories of a time that has looooong passed of pure joy and innocence.

Just had her 21st bday party last weekend. I tend to always "look forward" but i was forced to reminisce and it was very hard - i so miss my little girl with the colored extensions, glitter and tickets to OneD, 5SOS or Miley.

So when i hear of something like this, it does sadden me to know that this was "her thing" growing up and while not Harry ( thank goodness lol ) it still leaves a mark.
