Liam Payne is dead after a fall from his hotel balcony in Argentina … TMZ has learned.
The former One Direction singer died Wednesday evening. Several witnesses at the hotel where he was staying in Buenos Aires tell us Liam fell from his room on the 3rd floor of the CasaSur Palermo Hotel. We do not know if it was intentional or accidental.
He had been in Argentina recently for a Niall Horan concert earlier in the month, and the 1D bandmates actually reunited at the show.
Liam was only 16 years old when he joined One Direction … and the group became the biggest boyband in the world after their 2010 launch on “The X Factor.” The band ultimately broke up in 2015, and he was considered one of their main songwriters.
Celebrities like Paris Hilton, Zedd and Charlie Puth took to social media to express their sorrow over the loss of the 31-year-old singer.
“So upsetting to hear the news of @Liampayne passing,” Hilton wrote on her X account along with a crying emoji. “Sending love and condolences to his family & loved ones. RIP my friend.”
“We Donβt Talk Anymore” singer Charlie Puth wrote on his Instagram Story that he was “in shock” over his death.
