One Direction star Liam Payne died after falling from the third floor of a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Police say they were called to the hotel after reports of an “aggressive male who was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol.”

Payne fell from the balcony after officers arrived, the statement said.

Fans line up outside the hotel – Casa Sur Hotel Palermo – to mourn the 31-year-old’s death – lighting candles, singing One Direction songs and holding moments of silence.

Payne, from Wolverhampton, UK, rose to global fame when One Direction entered the 2010 X Factor show.

They become the biggest boy band in the world before going on hiatus in 2016. Payne releases her only solo album of 2019.

One Direction is one of the biggest bands of the 2010s.

They sell 70 million records, with songs everyone knows – like “What Makes You Beautiful,” “Story of My Life” and “Best Song Ever” – dominating the airwaves.

In posts for social media platform Snapchat days before my death, Liam Payne talks about horse riding, playing polo and watching my former bandmate Niall Horan perform live for Buenos Aires.

Videos we’re sharing from the concert on October 2nd show them dancing with their friend Kate Cassidy, waving to fans in front of the crowd and singing along to old One Direction hits.

I post a selfie with Horan and talk about how proud we are of the Slow Hands singer.

Hours before my death, Payne wrote on Snapchat: “Well, a beautiful day here for Argentina.”

Life and Times of Liam Payne

Liam Payne tries for fame for the first time when he auditions for X Factor in 2008 – but judge Simon Cowell tells me to “come back in two years”.

We come back and impress the judges for 2010 after performing the Michael Buble version of “Cry Me A River.”

Dem paired me with four other solo hopefuls for the boot camp phase. Well, that’s how One Direction was born – they didn’t win the talent show, but they quickly found huge success in the charts and became the biggest boy band in the world.

With One Direction you will discover your talent for songwriting. E received writing rights for half of the band’s last two albums, for songs such as “History”, “Steal My Girl” and “Story of My Life”.

One Direction sell 70 million records and play to thousands of fans around the world.

In a 2019 interview with the BBC, the singer said that he has no regrets.

“I won’t change,” he said. “I know where I thought she was in the world now.

“I’m very confused about fame with everything going on, and it’s difficult to learn to be a person outside of the job. But now I feel like I don’t understand. I got lucky, boy.”

One Direction scored four number one albums and four number one singles in the UK and topped charts worldwide before disbanding five years later.

In 2017, Liam’s debut solo single “Strip That Down” reached number three on the Official UK Charts and, in collaboration with Rita Ora, the song “For You” – from the Fifty Shades Freed soundtrack – also reached the top 10.

E also collaborates with some of pop’s biggest writers, including Ed Sheeran, Charlie Puth and OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder.

“Writing for One Direction is a different process because you know what the kids want,” he told the BBC.

“I love these songs – don’t get me wrong – but I know why I write them and I know why I write them.”

For solo songs, we mostly avoid writing love songs and instead focus more on mature themes like depression, sex and heartbreak.

“I would say I’m a total expert on heartbreak,” he said. “I think for me it’s easier to write from a sad place because the emotions are a little more raw.”

Me and Girls Aloud star Cheryl started dating in 2016 and are having a son, Bear, next year. Di couple breakup for 2018.

In recent weeks, Tori Bin Dey has taken to social media to address her behavior towards other former partners. A report on Tuesday said she would take legal action to prevent her from contacting her friends and family.
