About our Liam Payne (1993-2024) news

Latest news on Liam Payne, the British singer, songwriter and former member of the boy band One Direction, who died aged 31 on 16 October 2024.

Born in 1993, he first appeared on The X Factor UK in 2008 before returning in 2010, when he joined forces with Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, and Zayn Malik to form One Direction. The group became a global sensation, releasing chart-topping albums and embarking on world tours before taking a hiatus in 2016.

Payne then pursued a solo career, releasing hits like "Strip That Down" and "Stack It Up" and collaborating with artists such as Quavo and Rita Ora.

On 16 October, Payne died after falling from a third-floor balcony at the CasaSur hotel in Buenos Aires. Police had been alerted by hotel management, citing erratic behaviour possibly due to drugs or alcohol. Emergency responders confirmed Payne’s death shortly afterward, reporting severe cranial injuries from the fall.

Musicians and public figures, including Robbie Williams, Simon Cowell, Bruce Springsteen, and his former bandmates, paid tribute, with several raising concerns about fame and mental health. Following Payne’s passing, One Direction’s discography and his solo album reentered the UK charts, as did several songs by One Direction and Payne, reflecting his lasting impact on fans and the music industry.
