He reflected on the significance of performing at Madison Square Garden, admitting that he felt incredibly lucky to be able to put on the shows and see his name displayed at the venue.

“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,” the As It Was singer continued.

“Two years ago today, I lost one of those friends,” he stated, acknowledging the painful anniversary. “I’m gonna sing a song I wrote 2 years ago for my friend if that’s alright.”

“This one is for Liam,” Styles said before beginning the unreleased track.

The song, titled What Is Enough, featured introspective lyrics about grief, friendship and the pain of losing people close to you.

One particularly poignant line referred to “bury friends on Wednesday nights” and gathering around a fire in a garden, prompting fans to reflect on the deeply personal nature of the tribute.
