Liam Payne, former member of the boy band One Direction, has passed away at the age of 31.
The British singer reportedly fell from the third floor of his hotel room in Buenos Aires, Argentina. State police confirmed the tragic incident took place at the CasaSur hotel in the Palermo district.
The English-born singer first rose to fame in 2010 when he joined One Direction on the “X Factor,” quickly becoming one of the most recognizable faces in the music world. Alongside bandmates Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, and Louis Tomlinson, Payne was part of one of the best-selling boy bands of all time, breaking records and selling out stadiums across the globe.
After the band’s split in 2015, Payne transitioned to a successful solo career. In 2017, he released his hit single “Strip That Down,” followed by his debut solo album LP1 in 2019.
