Former One Direction member Liam Payne has died in Buenos Aires, Argentina, following a fall from his hotel room.
Payne, 31, had arrived in the Latin American country earlier this month to attend his ex-bandmate Niall Horan’s concert. Several witnesses reported that he fell from his room at the Casa Sur Palmero Hotel shortly after 5 pm (ART) on Wednesday evening. The news has sent shockwaves, with fans gathering outside the hotel and a red tent erected.
Local police have launched an investigation into the sudden death, with tributes pouring in from fans and fellow celebrities. Payne’s management has released a statement, but details of the circumstances surrounding his death remain unclear.
Payne’s music career began when he auditioned for the British reality TV show "The X Factor" in 2010, along with fellow bandmates Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Harry Styles, and Louis Tomlinson. Despite initially finishing in third place, the group went on to sign with Syco Music and release several successful albums, including "Up All Night," "Take Me Home," and "Four."
After Malik departed from the band in 2015, the remaining members continued as a four-piece group, releasing the album "Made in the A.M." in 2015. Payne’s solo music career began in 2019 with the release of his debut album "LP1," which featured the single "Strip That Down," co-written with Ed Sheeran.
Payne’s personal life has also been subject to media attention. He was in a high-profile relationship with British pop star Cheryl Cole, with whom he had a son, Bear Grey, in 2017. The couple separated in 2018. Payne also had an on-again, off-again relationship with model Maya Henry, before they called it quits in 2022.
Fans and celebrities alike have taken to social media to pay their respects, with Jedward writing, "RIP Liam Payne. Condolences to his friends and family." Former X Factor contestant Rylan Clark added, "Extremely sad news. Very tragic and so young. RIP Liam x." Paris Hilton wrote, "So upsetting to hear the news of Liam Payne passing.
