Fans and friends have paid tribute to Liam Payne on social media, calling his death “heartbreaking”.

Singer Liam Payne was one of five members of the hugely popular boy band from 2010 to 2016. Since One Direction announced their hiatus in March 2016, Payne has pursued a solo career with the platinum-certified single Strip That Down and a studio album.

Liam Payne was born on August 29, 1993 in Wolverhampton, England. “My childhood was very peaceful but I didn’t have much money,” he shared with British newspaper The Times in 2019. “I first appeared on The X Factor when I was 14. It was my dad who pushed me to do it. I did it because of him,” the singer revealed.

Although his initial audition in 2008 did not result in a place on The X Factor , Payne returned in 2010 to audition for the judges – this time performing Cry Me a River . He progressed to the next round and was later paired by judge Simon Cowell with Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan, and Louis Tomlinson to form One Direction.

One Direction went on to release three more albums: Up All Night , Take Me Home , and Midnight Memories . In 2015, Malik left the group, and the remaining four members continued to make music, releasing two more albums before going on an indefinite hiatus in 2016.

Liam Payne welcomed his son Bear Grey on March 22, 2017, with then-girlfriend Cheryl Cole of Girls Aloud. Although the singer and Cheryl split in July 2018, he revealed in a 2022 interview with People that he still sees Bear every week. “I was so happy to have my son. It’s a moment I’ll never forget for the rest of my life and it’s my most memorable moment to date,” he said of his son’s birth.
