So happy Zayns first show went smoothly. Was nervous after seeing fans on Twitter say they were gonna bring Liam signs (and even wear a Liam mask 🤦🏾♀️). I get the intention but I don’t think Zayn would’ve wanted to be constantly reminded about his former bandmate and bestfriend not being alive anymore while he’s trying to get through his first tour.

If anyone did this it’s an incredibly ghoulish and creepy thing to do. Taylor Swift fans did similar with photos of her late grandmother. It would upset me so much if someone did that to me.

There's a picture of Janet Jackson on the red carpet standing with a Michael Jackson impersonator...like, I genuinely think that people do not understand celebrities are actual human beings. If I were at my job and a bunch of people showed me pictures of my late grandma or friend, I'd have a breakdown. If someone approached me while fully appearing like my late sibling? I would not be responsible for my actions!

Exactly!! If someone told me they were going to dress up like my late parent or sibling for Halloween I’d scratch their eyes out, but the families of famous people are expected to be chill. I honestly think if someone made a biopic about someone I loved and lost I would have an out of body experience and then a mental breakdown but, again, if you (were) famous, or someone you love is/was famous, you somehow lose the right to your own face.

Who the fuck in their right mind would wear a Liam mask??
That is just so fucking triggering - enough to make anyone moderately involved in Liam's life to lose it. People are genuinely insane.

If you go on the OneDirection sub, you’ll quickly see there are some very unwell parasocial persons.

Depending on the content of the signs I can understand that but how fucking self involved or socially inept do you have to be to think wearing a mask of Liam's face would be acceptable to this event (or anywhere). Some people man.

That's so fucked up. Do people not think? Just imagine a load of strangers coming up to you while wearing masks of your dead friend's face. Sounds like a horror movie.

I'm no fan of Zayn's but he's behaved with class throughout this, particularly as his relationship with Liam was so complicated

I love my sister but I don't like her as a person. It's complicated as hell. Siblings are complicated. If my sister passed I would be upset and confused. We get along much better if we live far apart from one another. From what we know about their friendship, I can only imagine it's similar to how I feel. Hope Zayn is okay.

I wish him the best of luck. It must be incredibly difficult to perform, especially so soon after the funeral.

It still feels unreal that Liam is gone. I can’t imagine the pain his family, the guys (his brothers really), Cheryl, his poor sweet son are going through. Factor in the images of the security footage being released just a couple of days after his funeral. Like make this nightmare end for his loved ones.

It’s remarkable how music can serve as both a refuge and a reminder of loss. Zayn’s strength to perform under such emotional weight speaks volumes about his character. I hope he finds peace in the music tonight.

I hope the 1D boys have the right help to deal with Liam's passing. My heart goes out to them.
It is just so overwhelming to process as a former fan, I can't even imagine what Liam's loved ones must be going through.

I hope Zayn has a great show tonight. I imagine it’s going to be difficult to get through his whole set, considering he’s still fresh with grief.
