Respect for pain
Singer and producer Sam Pounds has decided to postpone the release of the posthumous song “Do No Wrong” out of respect for the grieving family of Liam Payne (1993-2024). The news was released by the artist himself on Tuesday (29/10), on his profile X (formerly Twitter).
The musician, who has already produced songs for Jamie Foxx and Wiz Khalifa, explained that he preferred to cancel the release of the song out of respect for his friends and family, who continue to mourn the death of the former One member Direction.

Pounds also believes that the time has come to ask for peace and prayers: “Even though we all love music, it is not the time yet. We are still mourning Liam’s death and I want the family to be able to mourn his passing in peace and prayer Let’s wait,” added the producer.

Authorities continue to investigate the case.
