Former One Direction<\/strong> star Liam Payne<\/strong> died after falling from the third floor of his hotel in Argentina, according to state police.<\/p>\n

The English singer was 31.<\/p>\n

Payne was staying at the hotel CasaSur in Palermo, Buenos Aires, according to police.<\/p>\n

Payne joined One Direction at the group’s inception in 2010 after appearing on the show The<\/em>\u00a0X Factor<\/em>. The group also included Harry Styles<\/strong>, Niall Horan<\/strong>, Zayn Malik<\/strong> and Louis Tomlinson<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

After the band broke up in 2015, Payne began a solo career, releasing the song “Strip That Down” in 2017 and the album LP1<\/em> in 2019.<\/p>\n

The singer shared a YouTube video in 2023 in which he revealed he had been sober for six months after spending nearly 100 days at a Louisiana rehab facility.<\/p>\n

When he was 29, Payne said he had “more of a grip on life” after he’d taken time for himself after becoming “somebody who I didn’t really recognize anymore.”<\/p>\n

The singer said he was channeling his energy into being a better dad for his son, Bear<\/strong>, who he shared with singer Cheryl Cole<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In March, Payne released the song “Teardrops,” which he said on Instagram was “born from many tears, not all mine.”<\/p>\n

“I hope you love it like I do and not too many of you can relate,” he added.<\/p>\n
