Rita Ora’s voice began to break at the MTV European Music Awards as she led a tribute to One Direction member Liam Payne, who died after falling from a hotel balcony last month in Buenos Aires. The three-time MTV EMA host described Payne as “one of the kindest people I knew,” as she paused and appeared to become emotional. “He had the biggest heart and was always the first person to offer help in any way that he could,” Ora added, as her voice shook. “He brought so much joy to every room he walked into and he left such a mark on this world.” The pair collaborated for the song, “For You” in 2018, which appeared in the soundtrack of the film, Fifty Shades Freed. The song reached the Top 10 in the U.K., France, and elsewhere.
