Liam Payne, the former member of One Direction, has tragically passed away at the age of 31 after falling from a hotel balcony in the Palermo area of Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Local officials have announced that they will perform an autopsy and look into the details surrounding the singer's passing.
Payne's family expressed their deep sorrow in a statement released through his spokesperson: "We are filled with sadness. Liam will always hold a special place in our hearts, and we will cherish the memories of his kindness, humor, and courage."
"Our family is doing our best to support one another during this difficult period, and we kindly ask for some privacy and space."
Simon Cowell has reacted to the announcement, and various celebrities, including Liam Gallagher, X Factor presenter Dermot O’Leary, and Harry Styles' mother Anne Twist, have expressed their condolences.
Payne gained widespread recognition during the fifth season of The X Factor in 2010, when he was put into the group One Direction alongside Styles, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, and Zayn Malik.
They rose to fame as one of the most successful boy bands globally, with sales reaching 70 million albums and live performances in stadiums all over the world.
Liam Payne: Life After One Direction - Fame And Fatherhood
Created on the reality television program The X Factor in 2010, the group consisted of the late Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, and Louis Tomlinson. Although they finished in third place, the band quickly rose to global stardom with the launch of their first single, the pop-rock hit "What Makes You Beautiful."
Over the next six years, One Direction reached a level of stardom that hadn't been witnessed since the days of the Beatles: there were screaming, passionate fans, relentless paparazzi, and invasive stories in tabloids. When the band disbanded in 2016 after a last tour, each of the five members ventured into solo careers, achieving different levels of success.
In an unexpected twist, Payne, who had always dreamed of being a singer like his heroes Justin Timberlake, Usher, and Chris Brown, revealed in 2017 that he was uncertain about pursuing a solo career. He shared with Billboard, "I initially thought I would just focus on songwriting and stick with that." However, he added, "Then I realized, I’ve been aiming for this since I was 14. It would be foolish to pass up the chance at a record deal." After leaving the band, he found himself with some great opportunities and knew he had to take action.

Scott Mills: Heartbroken Over Liam's Ending
Scott Mills, the host of BBC Radio 2, expressed his deep sadness over how Liam's journey has come to a close. He reflected on the moments they shared together throughout the years.
He started his afternoon program on the station by stating, “Hearing the sad news about Liam Payne is really difficult to process because I never expected we would have to say farewell to him this soon.”
"I had an incredible time with One Direction, as many of you may know. The experiences we shared will always be unforgettable for me, and Liam played a significant role in all of it."
He joked that there were times he felt like he was part of One Direction, given how frequently he was with them during their peak popularity while hosting on BBC Radio 1.
Mills remembered sharing a laugh with Payne when the singer's dad, Geoff, asked for a selfie with him at the One Direction movie premiere, even after having encountered famous personalities like David Beckham and Mariah Carey earlier.
The speaker choked back his emotions while delivering a heartfelt message for him, stating: "Geoff, I'm not sure if you can hear me, but my thoughts are with you today, along with the rest of Liam's family, and especially his young son."
He expressed, "I’m really overwhelmed with sadness about everything happening. Liam, we shared so many great times together, and you were always so kind and thoughtful towards me."
"I really appreciate you letting me join you on this journey. It’s a memory I’ll always cherish. The entire band was incredibly kind, but Liam stood out as the mature and wise leader of the group. It’s hard to accept that this is the conclusion of Liam’s story."
He subsequently dedicated "Story of My Life" by One Direction to Payne, along with his loved ones and supporters.
