Charlie Puth Grieves the Heartbreaking Loss of Friend Liam Payne
CHARLIE PUTH – American singer Charlie Puth leads tributes to Former One Direction Star Liam Payne after the British singer was found dead at an Argentinian hotel.
Liam Payne, former member of the globally famous boyband One Direction, has tragically died at the age of 31 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Payne passed away after reportedly falling from the third floor of a hotel in the upscale neighborhood of Palermo, according to local authorities.
Police confirmed that an emergency crew responded to a 911 call reporting an aggressive man possibly under the influence of drugs and alcohol. Upon arrival at the hotel, officers heard a loud noise from the interior courtyard, leading them to discover Payne’s body. Emergency medical services director Alberto Crescenti stated that Payne had suffered “serious injuries” and that an autopsy would be conducted to determine the cause of death. However, Crescenti did not comment further on the circumstances of the fall.
Payne, who shot to international fame as a member of One Direction in 2010, was beloved by fans around the world. The band, formed on the UK talent show The X Factor, featured Payne alongside Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, and Zayn Malik. One Direction became one of the most successful boybands in history before going on an indefinite hiatus in 2016.
Earlier this month, Payne was seen attending a concert by his former bandmate, Niall Horan, in Argentina, a testament to the continuing bond between the former members of One Direction.
Shortly before the tragic incident, Payne reportedly posted a Snapchat story expressing his enjoyment of the day, stating, “It’s a lovely day here in Argentina.”
Following news of Payne’s death, fans gathered outside the Buenos Aires hotel where the incident occurred, prompting police to secure the area.
Among the many grieving was American singer-songwriter Charlie Puth, who shared his shock and sadness on Instagram, saying, “I am in shock right now. Liam was always so kind to me. He was one of the first major artists I got to work with. I can not believe he is gone.”
