Since then, the star has left Brazilian lands with a special place in his heart. In 2016, for example, he shared the video in which the player Neymar Jr. scored the penalty goal that gave Brazil gold at the Rio Olympics, claiming to be a fan of the athlete.
Furthermore, as reported by UOL, during one of his lives on Instagram, the singer recalled that one of his favorite memories is when he spent around 30 thousand pounds (approximately 214 thousand reais) at the hotel bar on one of his visits.
“My favorite memory of Brazil was when I ended up with a £30,000 bill at the bar whilst making my own drinks. I learned how to make cocktails for the whole team and at the end of the night, I was DJing and they gave me the bill . I was like, ‘I’m not paying for drinks I was making for other people,'” he recalled. “No one on the staff tipped me, and they all left, leaving me with the bill. So, I put everything in someone else’s room (laughs), jumped in the pool forgetting that I had very expensive shoes that I needed for the show the next day and ran out of my favorite shoes.”
In the year 2021, Liam returned to Brazil for a somewhat unusual commitment: he was the main attraction at the 15th birthday party of a young woman from Goiânia, daughter of businessmen in the pharmaceutical trade.

I was really excited to play for you guys. To all of you who bought tickets: I’m sorry. We are working to reschedule the tour as quickly as possible, but for now we will be refunding tickets — so stay tuned for updates at the point of purchase. Thank you as always for your love and support and we hope to see you soon.”
