Payne, 31, was tragically discovered deceased in the hotel lobby after falling from his third-story balcony in Argentina, as stated by local authorities.

A local police statement explained that they were called to the CasaSur hotel in Buenos Aires after being notified of an 'aggressive man who could be under the effects of drugs and alcohol'.

Liam Payne tributes come pouring in

Payne became a household name in Britain, and later across the globe, after his success on the show X Factor, where he became part of the famous band One Direction.

As of May 2022, the band has sold more than 70 million records worldwide, while each of their first four albums all charted at number one before disbanding in 2015.

Payne made no secret of his love for West Bromwich Albion, having grown up just outside of Wolverhampton, and featured in Soccer Aid as England's captain in 2022.

Speaking after the game, Payne explained that he was a "huge West Brom fan", although later added that "I don't get to the games as often as I'd like, though."
