The post Liam Payne, Former One Direction Member, Dies at 31 After Fall From Hotel Balcony appeared first on TheWrap.

Former One Direction singer Liam Payne died Wednesday after falling from the balcony of his Buenos Aires hotel. He was 31.

Payne fell from the balcony of the CasaSur Palermo hotel in Buenos Aires Wednesday evening, according to local reports and additional confirmation from CNN and TMZ. He fell from the third floor of the hotel. It is unclear at this point if the fall was accidental or intentional.

Payne rose to fame alongside Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan, and Louis Tomlinson as a part of boy band One Direction. The band shot into fame in 2010 after finishing third on the British version of “The X Factor.” The group disbanded in 2016 as many members went on to explore solo ventures.

Payne released the song “Strip That Down” in 2017 as he started his solo career before dropping the album “LP1” in 2019.
