Fans Mourn Death of Liam Payne by Gathering Outside Hotel Where He Died

On October 16, 2024, fans gathered outside the Buenos Aires hotel where British singer Liam Payne passed away.

According to local police, the 31-year-old former member of One Direction fell from the third floor of the hotel. They reported being called to the scene due to an “aggressive man who could be under the effects of drugs and alcohol.”

The police were called after the hotel manager reported hearing a loud noise coming from the back of the building. They found that a man had fallen from his balcony.

Social media was flooded with condolences from a number of platforms, including the BRIT Awards, Spotify, the U.S. music channel, and the streaming service MTV.

As of now, neither Payne’s record label, Republic Records, nor its parent company, Universal Music Group, have responded to the incident.

Liam Payne rose to global fame as a member of One Direction, alongside Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan, and Louis Tomlinson. Entertainment Weekly named the band the third best boy band ever in 2024.
