A dozen fans, kept apart behind a cordon, also came to pay a final tribute to the One Direction singer.

The death of Liam Payne, who fell from the balcony of his hotel room in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on October 16, shocked the group’s fans around the world.

Tributes took place in many cities, including London on October 20, where thousands of people sang along to the songs of the former boy band, which enjoyed meteoric success from 2010 to 2016.

Alcohol, cocaine and antidepressants

Argentine prosecutors have revealed that Liam Payne had consumed alcohol, cocaine and antidepressants before his death. Three people were charged with supplying him with drugs.

He died of “multiple trauma” and “internal and external bleeding”.

In a 2023 video posted to his YouTube account, Liam Payne admitted to being admitted to a rehab center for his alcoholism: “I kind of became someone I didn’t really recognize anymore. And I’m sure you don’t recognize him either,” he said then.

One Direction, who was one of the most lucrative boy bands in the world, released their fifth and final studio album, “Made in the AM” in 2016. The same year, the group announced a break, never formalized as a separation.

The members of the boy band then began solo careers with varying degrees of success.

Liam Payne released his first album, “LP1”, in 2019. Last year he announced that he was working on a second album and released a new single in March 2024.
