Liam James Payne (born 29 August 1993) is an English singer and songwriter.
He rose to fame as a member of the boy band One Direction.
Payne made his debut as a singer when he auditioned for the British television series The X Factor in 2008. After being eliminated as a solo performer, he auditioned again in 2010 and was put into a group with four other contestants to form One Direction
Kate Cassidy. He’s also survived by his son, Bear, 7, whom he shared with singer Cheryl Cole, 41; his parents, Geoff and Karen; and his older sisters, Ruth and Nicola.“Liam will forever live in our hearts and we’ll remember him for his kind, funny and brave soul,” the family said in a joint statement on Thursday.
Payne died at age 31 after plunging off a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It’s unclear if it was intentional or accidental.
However, an autopsy released on Thursday indicated that Payne may have been unconscious at the time he fell, and witnesses told TMZ that Payne was acting “erratic” shortly before the fatal incident.
