It was a party we had just done a gig for and he joined us on stage.” Then when they all went in the lift, “he just kept turning around to me going, “Bass.” And that’s all he was saying. “Bass.” So that’s one of my favourite party stories.’”
Along with Sheeran many other celebrities also reflected on memories with the late singer. One Direction members including Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik, Harry Styles, and Niall Horan shared posts as final respect to the artist.
