“It was such an emotional night for the four of us. Hearing Liam’s voice fill an arena again was something I don’t think any of us will ever be able to put into words,” the Teadrops singer’s elder sister shared. “Knowing that this may be the last time we ever hear his voice played out across an arena made it incredibly difficult, but at the same time, there was something so beautiful and comforting about it.”

The Manchester concert became an emotional night for Liam’s family as the evening carried particular weight when the deceased artist’s voice note from his One Direction days filled the arena following Niall’s End of an Era performance.

Nicola continued, “Liam will always be a part of these moments for us. We miss him more than words can say, and hearing his voice again brought back so many memories, it was heartbreaking, but also felt like a little piece of him was right there with us.”

The series of photographs and videos included a footage of Niall performing the emotional ballad and Steal My Girl.

She also pointed to what she described as a beautiful orb or a moment during the show when Liam joined them, writing, “And if you look closely, you might spot a beautiful orb during my filming of End of an Era… I’d like to think that was Liam joining us for a moment too. [sparkling heart emoji].”

“Well done on a truly fabulous show, Niall, and thank you again for giving us such a special and emotional night. [purple heart and sparkle emoji],” Nicola conclude.
