Nicole Scherzinger is paying tribute to Liam Payne with a poignant look back at their shared history in the entertainment industry.

On Friday, the former Pussycat Dolls member shared a pair of playful selfies on Instagram showing her and Payne who died last week at age 31 posing with fellow pop singer Kelly Rowland in what appeared to be a dressing room.

Her accompanying caption was written as an open letter to the former One Direction member in which she recalled the time we shared together, including just a few weeks ago.

It was such a blessing to get to work with you recently, Scherzinger wrote. We shared the same love and passion for music and I will forever remember the meaningful and joyful conversations we had.

Its been so hard to process that youre no longer here, but I am grateful to have known your kind heart, sweet soul and character, she continued.You brought so much joy, light, and laughter to the lives of those that truly knew you.

Before extending her condolences to Paynes family, she added: I will miss you my friend and carry you in my heart.

Payne was found dead on Oct. 16 after falling from the third-floor balcony of a hotel in the Palermo neighborhood of Buenos Aires, Argentina. A preliminary autopsy report found that the pop star had died from multiple traumas and internal and external bleeding.
