Just days after Liam Payne's shock death in Buenos Aires, Argentina, at the age of 31, the late One Direction star has been honoured in the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame induction ceremony's In Memoriam segment.

Payne died on October 16 (October 17 in Australia) after falling from the third floor of his hotel room in Argentina, according to state police, as reported by CNN.

A heartbroken fan shared a clip of the in memoriam segment at the ceremony, which took place on Saturday in Ohio (Sunday in Australia) at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, saying they "weren't ready" to see Payne's young face on screen.

Payne's sister Ruth Gibbins also shared a heartbreaking tribute to her late sibling, writing: "I don't believe this is happening."

"Liam, My brain is struggling to catch up with what's happening and I don't understand where you've gone. I just want to drive to your house and walk in to music blasting and find you sat there writing a song."

"I don't feel this world was good enough or kind enough to you, and quite often over the last few years, you've had to really try hard to overcome all that was being aimed at you," she said.
