Liam Payne took to the stage at the Brit Awards to accept an award for One Direction – and people are emotional.
The band won Video of the Year for their nostalgic video History, beating out their former bandmate Zayn Malik’s video for Pillowtalk.
The only member of One Direction at the awards was Liam Payne, and he took to the stage proudly to accept the honour.
“We’ve been taking time out to work on solo material but One Direction is who we are and who we always will be, so this one is for us.”
