Emergency responders found Payne’s body in the hotel’s interior patio and confirmed his death at the scene.
Liam gained fame alongside his bandmates Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan, and Louis Tomlinson as part of One Direction, which was one of the top-selling groups of the 2010s. The band went on an indefinite break in 2016.
