Los Angeles, June 15: Singer Liam Payne is forced to miss his first Father's Day because of work commitments here, and he is feeling really sad about it.

"Oh I'm actually away for Father's Day, I'm working which is really, really sad but it's my first one obviously so it's amazing," he said to MSN.
