Tomorrow, Liam Payne's funeral will take place and all of his band mates from One Direction will be there to pay their respects. Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan, and Louis Tomlinson are all expected to attend the private service in the Home Counties. The funeral is for family and close friends only, as his loved ones want to give him the perfect send off.
According to a source, Payne's family has put a lot of effort into planning the service and making sure it is a fitting tribute for the beloved singer. To his parents, Geoff and Karen, Liam will always be their little boy, despite his global fame as a superstar. It will undoubtedly be a difficult day for everyone in attendance.
Sadly, Payne's death came at the young age of 31, after he fell from a balcony at a hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The autopsy revealed that he died from multiple injuries sustained in the fall, which caused both internal and external hemorrhaging. Traces of alcohol, cocaine, and a prescription antidepressant were also found in his system.
Just earlier this month, three people were arrested in connection to Payne's death. Among them were two hotel workers and a friend of Payne's, who had their home raided before being taken into custody. They have been charged with abandoning a person followed by death, as well as supplying and facilitating narcotics. These are serious crimes that could result in a prison sentence of up to 15 years if convicted.
In the wake of Payne's passing, fans from all over the world have held vigils and music stars have paid tribute to him. His former bandmates from One Direction released a statement expressing their devastation and how much they will miss him. Payne's girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, also shared a heartfelt message on social media, saying that her heart is shattered in ways she can't even put into words.
Payne first rose to fame as a member of One Direction, after being put together by Simon Cowell on the talent show The X Factor in 2010. He had actually auditioned two years prior, at the age of 14, and was told by Cowell to come back when he was older. The music mogul expressed his own devastation over Payne's death on Instagram, saying that every tear he shed is a memory of him.
In an interview with podcast host Steven Bartlett, Payne opened up about his struggles with alcoholism during the height of his success with One Direction. He also cherished being a father to his son, Bear, whom he shares with his ex Cheryl Cole. As the news of his death continues to shock and sadden fans and loved ones, they are encouraged to share their stories and memories of him.
