Liam Payne tributes: Liam Gallagher, Harry Styles’s mum and more react to singer’s death

As a longtime follower and admirer of One Direction, the news of Liam Payne‘s untimely demise has left me stunned and saddened. I remember the sheer joy and excitement his voice brought to millions of fans, including myself, during their meteoric rise on The X Factor.


Many heartfelt tributes have surfaced since it was announced that Liam Payne, a popular singer and ex-member of One Direction, passed away. He initially gained prominence as a contestant on The X Factor.

On October 16th, it was reported that Payne, aged 31, succumbed to injuries sustained when he tragically fell from a third-story hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The Buenos Aires authorities reported that their officers were present due to accounts of a potentially intoxicated individual exhibiting hostile behavior, possibly influenced by both drugs and alcohol.

Later on, they were informed that a loud noise came from the inner courtyard, and upon investigation, they found a body there.

Among those expressing their condolences upon learning about Payne’s passing was Anne Twist, the mom of Harry Styles, a previous bandmate of Payne in One Direction.

She posted a broken heart emoji to Instagram, alongside the caption: “Just a boy…”
