As a long-time observer of the dynamic world of celebrity, I am deeply saddened by the untimely demise of Liam Payne. Having followed his journey from X Factor to global stardom with One Direction, I cannot help but reflect on the transient nature of fame and its impact on individuals.


On his talk show, Jonathan Ross recently recounted a touching moment he had with Liam Payne, following the sad news of the One Direction member’s passing the previous week.

Last Wednesday, Liam tragically passed away following a fall from a balcony on the third floor of the Casa Sur Hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He fell approximately 45 feet.

Tributes have continued to pour in for the late singer, with Jonathan being the latest celebrity to share a heartfelt homage. 

In 2019, Liam appeared on The Jonathan Ross Show to chat about his journey with One Direction.

Over the weekend, the show’s social media account posted an old clip of Liam in his honour.

In tribute to Liam Payne, we’re re-sharing the unique interview he gave on The Jonathan Ross Show back on October 26, 2019.

‘Liam reflects on his time with One Direction and the journey that shaped his life.’ 

It became clear that the singer displayed unusual behavior before the incident, leading authorities to respond due to a potentially agitated individual who might have been influenced by substances such as drugs and alcohol.

A post-mortem examination has determined that he died from multiple injuries.

The lead investigator, Prosecutor Marcelo Roma, is advocating for a series of tests including histology, chemistry, and toxicology analyses, to ascertain if the musician had been subjected to drug use and poisoning.

It has been learned that, given the findings are anticipated within a timeframe of ten to fifteen days, Argentina’s National Criminal and Penitentiary Prosecutor’s Office is at present regarding the incident as an ‘open case.’

Geoff, his father, has journeyed to Buenos Aires, the Argentine capital, to verify that the deceased is indeed his son and to coordinate the return of the body to the United Kingdom after its release by the authorities. The funeral is anticipated to occur in November.

On Sunday, it was revealed that two employees from the hotel where Liam met his untimely end are under scrutiny, as they’re suspected of giving him drugs in the time preceding the unfortunate incident.

The men are accused of smuggling them into the singer’s suite at the hotel.

It is reported that a cleaner and another employee allegedly concealed the drugs inside a Dove soap container, which was discovered by investigators in Payne’s room after his passing.

White powder, crystals, tablets and other paraphernalia were discovered in the third-floor suite.

Police have sent the chemicals – believed to be cocaine and crack cocaine – for analysis.

It emerged on Tuesday that Liam had continued harboring feelings for Cheryl Cole, as stated by Simon Cowell’s sibling.

According to Tony Cowell, the passing of the One Direction star at 31 years old is likely to be extremely challenging for the Girls Aloud singer, who is 41. He finds it hard to fathom the pain she must be experiencing.

In 2018, the two-year partnership between Liam and Cheryl concluded, a year following the birth of their child, Bear.

Previously, the pop star expressed on a podcast in 2022 that she considered herself an exceptionally devoted mother. Similarly, when they announced their separation, it was mentioned that despite their split, they continue to hold deep affection for each other as a family.

Tony first met Liam backstage at The X Factor in 2010 when he was 16-years-old. 

He recounted how he was always ‘open and honest’ and always had a ‘huge smile’ on his face.

Additionally, it was disclosed that Liam had visited the Cotswolds several months prior to his passing, with the intention of meeting his brother Simon.

He shared with Closer magazine that Liam was quite resolute in earning Simon’s appreciation on The X Factor. He truly yearned to meet his expectations.

‘We are devastated. I feel for Simon, too. He met with Liam a few months ago.

‘I also feel for Cheryl, as I know Liam never stopped loving her and Bear. It’s going to be so difficult for her. I can’t imagine her pain. Louis Walsh is devastated too. He told me, ‘Liam had this star quality about him. I will miss him.’

Tony mentioned: “For such a long time, our family has been acquainted with Liam. What I’ll never forget is how he would take the time to talk to my late mother, Julie, whenever she was backstage with Simon.

Absolutely, the celebrity status had a significant impact on his psychological well-being, yet throughout all this, he continued to be a compassionate and thoughtful individual, a cherished friend to numerous people, and an exceptional father to his son, Bear. He was also incredibly generous and maintained a private lifestyle.

In a heartfelt post on Instagram, a saddened Cheryl expressed her struggle in dealing with the tragic loss of Payne, likening it to attempting to find her way through an overwhelming, Earth-shaking incident.

As I strive to find my bearings amidst this overwhelming situation, and cope with the immense sorrow that envelops me during these difficult days.

‘I’d like to kindly remind everyone that we have lost a human being.

Liam wasn’t just a renowned pop star and famous personality; he was also a beloved son, brother, uncle, cherished friend, and father of our seven-year-old boy.

‘A son that now has to face the reality of never seeing his father again.’

They first encountered each other on a popular talent program back in 2008, but it wasn’t until 2016 that their romantic connection started.

They made their official red carpet debut at Eva Longoria’s Global Gift Gala in Paris in that year, with Payne paying tribute to Cheryl with a tattoo of her eye on his arm.

On March 22nd, 2017, the singer from Girls Aloud welcomed their son named Bear. In an Instagram post, they shared: “Liam and I have become proud parents of a stunningly beautiful, robust baby boy who looks like a dream.

However a year later in July, Cheryl and Payne announced their split. 

In an open conversation featured in The Sunday Times Style magazine in 2018, not long after their separation, Cheryl – a mother of one – confided in interviewer Decca Aitkenhead that Payne is the only man who had remained loyal to her.

The prominent singer expressed disillusionment towards significant males in her life, such as her father, brother, and former spouses. This experience has diminished any desire she might have had for entering into a fresh romantic connection.

Expressing that he was her ideal man, she confided that she could contentedly remain unmarried throughout her life. To the magazine, she admitted, “Indeed, I may well be.
