LIAM PAYNE will live on in the stars after fans sent his name to the moon.
I can reveal kind-hearted supporters opted to include Liam’s name on an SD card that was blasted into space aboard the Artemis II mission.
The singer, who was a life-long lover of space and sci-fi, had his name included alongside 1.5million others inside a cuddly toy of the craft’s mascot, Rise.
Taking to X, one fan wrote: “Liam Payne’s name has gone to the moon . . . thanks to a dedicated fan @Annie23703.
“It feels so fitting, because he was always our light.
“From the stage to the stars, he’ll never stop shining for us. You’re on a new journey.
“We will miss you always.”
Another supporter added: “It’s an honour to do this for Liam. To infinity and beyond.”
In 2015, Liam teamed up with Nasa for One Direction‘s Drag Me Down video, which was shot at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.
Liam said at the time: “One of the coolest things about this is that we got to go and meet the head person at Nasa who is in charge of space stuff.
“The night before, I watched loads of these Nasa unexplained mysteries-style documentaries. I went loaded with all these questions.
“I asked one and the lady was like, ‘That’s classified, actually – you’re not supposed to ask that’.
“The suits we are wearing in that video have actually been to the moon. I never thought I would get to do that.”
