Fans mourn death of former One Direction singer Liam Payne

London, Oct 17 (Prensa Latina) Fans globally mourned on social media on Thursday the sudden death of Liam Payne, a singer of the British pop band One Direction, who fell from a hotel room balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He was 31.

Police are investigating his death, which still leaves doubts on whether Payne had fallen accidentally or jumped to his death from the Casa Sur Palermo Hotel, British media reported.

One Direction, often shortened 1D, was propelled to success on the TV show The X Factor in 2010 and went on to have a string of huge hits worldwide and five chart-topping albums before splitting in 2016.

After news of Payne’s death broke, dozens of people gathered outside the hotel to pay tribute to the singer. He first registered on the pop radar as a fresh-faced 14-year-old, BBC informed.
