The singer, however, did not mention the 11 dates of the UK leg of his tour, which is expected to run from 20 November to 4 December. Zayn's tribute to LiamAfter Liam's passing, Zayn posted a note and wrote, "I have found myself talking out loud to you, hoping you can hear me, I can't help but think selfishly that there was so many more conversations for us to have in our lives. Even though you were younger than me you were always more sensible than me, you were headstrong, opinionated, and gave no f****s about telling people when they were wrong. Even though we butted heads because of this a few times, I have always respected you for it."He added, "I lost a brother when you left us and can't explain to you what I'd give to just give you a hug one last time and say goodbye to you properly and tell you that I loved and respected you dearly. I will cherish all the memories I have with you in my heart forever, there are no words that justify or explain how I feel right now other than beyond devastated. I hope that wherever you are right now you are good and are at peace and you know how loved you are. Love you, bro."
