One Direction have revealed they are ‘completely devastated’ after Liam Payne fell to his death from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires at the age of 31.

Payne, who arrived in Argentina earlier this month to watch his ex-bandmate Niall Horan in concert, died instantly from multiple injuries including a fractured skull when he plummeted 45ft from the third floor at the Casa Sur Hotel last night.

The singer found stardom after forming One Direction with Horan, Harry Styles , Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson in 2010 when the then teenagers met through ITV talent show The X-Factor. He later embarked on a solo career after the group split in 2016.

His relatives in Wolverhampton say they will remember him as a ‘kind, funny and brave soul’ while friends, celebrities, his former schools and Keir Starmer have weighed in with their own tributes.
