Liam Payne reckons his former One Direction bandmate Harry Styles "deserves every millisecond" of his Grammys success.
Styles, 29, won album of the year and best pop vocal album for his third studio album, Harry's House, at the 65th awards show in Los Angeles on Sunday.
After the win, Payne shared a picture of Styles on Instagram with his Grammy on Monday and wrote: "Wow… this image is really something to wake up to and when you write music like you do Harry you deserve every millisecond of that moment looking down smiling at the trophy you’ve earned.
"God bless you brother congratulations."
Payne, 29, and Styles, along with Niall Horan, Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson, all now with solo careers, rose to fame on The X Factor when they formed the boy band group One Direction in 2010.
Six years later, after becoming one of the biggest pop groups in the world with five albums and four world tours, they were put on indefinite hiatus. Malik had already left the band in 2015 to pursue a solo career.
Horan also shared an Instagram story on Monday saying he was "very proud" of Styles’s wins.
At the Grammys, Styles said in the winners’ room after the ceremony that he was "overwhelmed" but "so grateful" to receive the award, and that the album had been "for my friends".
