Liam Payne’s Posthumous Song Release Postponed to Allow Family to Mourn

The release of Do No Wrong, a new song co-written and sung by the late Liam Payne, has been postponed out of respect for the singer’s grieving family. Payne’s collaborator, North Carolina artist Sam Pounds, announced the decision on Tuesday, saying, “It’s not the time yet” and that he wanted to give the family space to “mourn in peace.”

Originally scheduled for release on Friday, November 1st, Do No Wrong was intended to showcase Payne’s final creative work and, according to Pounds, “eclipse the negative echoes” surrounding Payne’s untimely death, which occurred two weeks ago.

In a heartfelt statement, Pounds explained the decision to delay the release: “Even though we all love the song, it’s not the time yet. We are all still mourning the passing of Liam, and I want the family to mourn in peace and in prayer. We will all wait.”

Pounds also expressed his intention to direct all proceeds from the track to a charity chosen by Payne’s family. “I want all proceeds to go to a charity of their choosing, or however they desire,” he said.

Fans took to social media to support Pounds’ decision, with many expressing that postponing the song was “the right decision” and offering condolences to Payne’s family. One fan remarked, “There will be a right time for it in the future, but for now, we mourn.”

Liam Payne, known for his success with One Direction and as a solo artist, passed away unexpectedly, leaving a lasting impact on his fans and collaborators. The delayed release of Do No Wrong serves as a reminder of the ongoing grief and healing that Payne’s loved ones are navigating.
