The preparations for the funeral began this morning, with the church entrance adorned with autumnal flowers, candle lanterns, and white roses. Even though the atmosphere is somber, the arrival of Girls Aloud members, Nicola Roberts and Kimberley Walsh, dressed in all black, added to the melancholic mood. Kate Cassidy also arrived, wearing black-out sunglasses and a black fur coat.
Fans from all over the world have been mourning Payne's death and have continued to hold vigils in his memory. However, it has been reported that the funeral is a private event for close friends and family only, and fans have been warned not to show up. Despite this, fans have found other ways to pay their respects, as they continue to mourn the loss of their favorite singer.
The cause of Payne's death was a result of multiple traumas and internal and external haemorrhage, according to the post-mortem examination report. An investigation has been launched by the prosecutors, and three people have been charged in connection with his death.
Payne rose to fame in 2010 when he auditioned for the talent show The X Factor at the age of 14. He later became a member of One Direction, along with Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik, and Niall Horan. After the band's hiatus, Payne launched a successful solo career, releasing his debut album LP1 in 2019. One of his most popular songs, For You, was a collaboration with Rita Ora for the movie Fifty Shades Freed.
Payne also had a son, Bear, with Girls Aloud singer Cheryl, whom he was in a relationship with from 2016 to 2018. After his death, Cheryl took to social media to share her grief and remind everyone to remember Payne as a human being, not just a celebrity. She also asked for privacy and respect during this difficult time.
In a statement, Payne's family expressed their heartbreak and cherished his kind, funny, and brave soul. One Direction also released a joint statement, expressing their love for Payne and their memories with him. They asked for time to grieve and process this loss.
As we say goodbye to Payne today, let us remember him for the impact he had on the world with his music and the memories he left behind with his loved ones. Rest in peace, Liam Payne.
