Harry Styles performed an unreleased song he wrote for his former One Direction bandmate Liam Payne. <\/b><\/p>\n
The Grammy Award-winning star played the track, called What Is Enough, during his sold-out concert at Madison Square Garden, on the second anniversary of Payne’s death. <\/p>\n
Styles is currently performing at the New York venue as part of a residency on his record-breaking Together, Together tour. <\/p>\n
Addressing the packed crowd on Friday night, the singer paid tribute to Payne as a friend and someone he “wouldn’t have been able to do this without”.<\/p>\n
As a spotlight shone over him, Styles made a moving speech, in which he honoured Liam Payne, who died two years ago after falling from a hotel balcony in Argentina.<\/p>\n
“I feel incredibly lucky to get to play these shows here in New York, and this building means a lot to me,” said the artist. <\/p>\n
“There are so many people in my life, friends and people that I’ve worked with that I wouldn’t have been able to do this without,” he continued.<\/p>\n
“And two years ago today, I lost one of those friends.”<\/p>\n
This was met with cheers from the audience, who were hearing What Is Enough for the first time. <\/p>\n
Wearing a royal blue jumper with a red collar, the musician then urged fans to keep an eye out for and support each other. <\/p>\n
“I’m sure a lot of you have been through similar things. I hope you haven’t. <\/p>\n
“But really, it’s just about looking after each other.”<\/p>\n
He added that there were “so many more people who have touched my life in such special ways”, thanking those who helped him get to where he is. <\/p>\n
“I’m gonna play you a song I wrote for my friend about two years ago, if that’s all right.”<\/p>\n
As he paused, passionate cheers and clapping could be heard from his fans.<\/p>\n
The singer then began to play his guitar and perform What is Enough, which featured emotional and reflective lyrics.<\/p>\n
As he sang out to the crowd, his band played a melodic accompaniment.<\/p>\n
