One Direction dedicate Billboard award win to 'brother' Zayn Malik

One Direction paid tribute to former member Zayn Malik whilst collecting a prize at this year's Billboard Music Awards.

The boyband won the Top Duo/Group and Top Touring Act gongs at the ceremony on Sunday (May 17).

Whilst collecting the former award, singer Liam Payne dedicated the prize to Malik, who left the group in March.

He said: "I just want to say, Billboard, you guys have been so amazing throughout our career, thank you for the support and as well as our fans, there's one more person to share this with and that's our brother Zayn, so thank you very much."

Malik left the band earlier this year to spend time out of the boyband spotlight.

The group have continued as a four-piece and a new album is expected to land later this year.
