AJ McLean has kept something personal in memory of Liam Payne.
In a recent chat with People at the premiere on Building the bandThe Backstreet Boys Member has saved a recording of his last conversation with late One Direction alum
“I haven’t deleted it. I’ve kept it on my phone as a constant reminder of who he was. He was a very positive, uplifting person,” McLean, who served as host on the Netflix show, told the outlets.
McLean continued to Gush about Payne’s witty nature, “He had a really quick knowledge of him. I don’t know if it was the British humor or just him as a person. I think it was one of the things that him and I really, really gelled right away. Both of us were sarcastic and fun and fun, and always make jokes and just had fun with everyone on set.”
It is relevant to mention that Payne plays as a guest judge on the music show with Kelly Rowland and Nicole Scherzinger. His scenes were filmed before his death in the summer of 2024.
“But also as an artist he was extremely talented. Not only as a singer-performance but as a songwriter producer, and he really brightens up the room when he wanted to go on set,” McLean added.
Building the band marked its beginning by paying a touching tribute to Payne, who died tirelessly at. 31 After falling from a balcony of a multistory building in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
