Liam Payne, the 31-year-old British singer who spent years as a member of the chart-topping boy band One Direction, is dead. According to TMZ, Payne was found in Argentina after an apparent fall from the third-story balcony of his hotel room. Circumstances of the fall remain murky as officials investigate whether the apparent incident happened upon intentional or unintentional action.

Witnesses said Payne was acting erratically earlier in the day, showing him in the hotel lobby and claiming he destroyed his laptop before being escorted back to his room. No further information has been available at press time as police are still investigating on-scene.

One Direction was the British-Irish boy band that took the world by storm when it first rose to prominence on the 2010 reality competition show The X Factor. Along with members Niall Horan, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, and Zayn Malik, Payne helped the group rise to global superstardom-accumulating millions of fans and releasing several hit albums and singles.

Payne had immensely contributed to One Direction, which had taken flight with his voice and charisma. Over these years, his distinctive vocals and ways of songwriting have helped shape many of the band’s beloved hits. Payne was in the limelight for his charm and dedication to his craft; thus, he is a favorite of all fans and one of the most loved celebrities in the industry.

After One Direction went into hiatus in 2016, Payne pursued a solo career where he released music that still can grasp the attention of the fans. From being a boy band sweetheart to a solo artist, his journey fixed his place in pop culture: kudos to him as a vocalist and a songwriter.

Over the coming days, tributes will be paid both by fans and musicians as the world mourns the passing of yet another star taken all too soon.
