As noted by RadarOnline, in another interview that same year on an Australian radio show, Payne recounted the same incident, telling the hosts of his experience with Diddy: “As I shook his hand, he just chuckled... the most evil laugh that I’ve ever heard. So I’m a little bit fearful of that man.”

"The dates are being rescheduled for January, and I’ll post them as soon as it’s all set in the next few days." Payne's unexpected death earlier this week left both fans and friends of the former band in shock.
