Liam Payne’s fans share emotional tributes to the One Direction star on the first anniversary of his death as they declare ‘his voice left a mark that will never fade’

Fans of Liam Payne honored the One Direction singer with heartfelt messages on Thursday, marking one year since his passing.

In October 2024, the singer tragically died at the age of 31 after a fall from a hotel balcony in Argentina. Tests later showed he had alcohol, cocaine, and a prescribed antidepressant in his system.

Oh my gosh, everyone’s just devastated about Liam, but all over X, fans like me are saying the same thing: even though he’s gone, his voice… it’s just unforgettable. It’s going to stay with us forever, truly. It’s like he left a piece of himself in every song, and we’ll always have that. It’s just… heartbreaking, but his music will live on!

We’ll deeply miss Liam. His incredible voice and vibrant energy will never be forgotten, and his music continues to inspire. Rest in peace.

Losing someone you love is never easy, and it feels like just yesterday they were here. I’m sending so much love and remembering all the wonderful things they brought into my life. It’s hard to believe a year has already passed – they’ll always be in my heart, a true angel.

‘Forever in our hearts, his music will always be with me;

It’s been a year, and while you’d expect the pain to lessen with time, it hasn’t for me. Some days, the grief feels unbearable. I miss Liam constantly, and the ache is still very strong.

‘Still deeply missed today; He’s looking up at the rest of the boys and he’s so proud I know it;

It’s hard to believe a year has passed. I still remember exactly how I felt when I found out, like my heart was racing, and it still doesn’t seem real. Even though I never met him, it feels like a significant piece of me is gone.

It’s heartbreaking to see so many young lives lost to substance abuse and mental health struggles. He will be deeply missed and remembered fondly.

After Liam passed away last year, his bandmates each shared heartfelt messages remembering him. A month later, they came together again at his funeral, marking their first reunion since the band broke up in 2016.

Last week, Liam’s girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, shared that she also felt suicidal after his death.

She slipped into a two-month depression after the One Direction singer’s tragic passing.

She explained to Page Six that she spent a lot of time simply coping with sadness and pain, and didn’t feel motivated to enjoy life.

After a few weeks, she finally understood that she needed to start living her life and get out of bed each day.

Kate said she started by setting an alarm to get out of bed one hour earlier day after day.

She started exercising regularly, eating healthy foods, and focusing on living a fulfilling life, both for her own well-being and for the sake of Liam.

Because Liam passed away without a will, he died intestate. This means his property will be divided among his children, as he was not married.

Liam likely earned a substantial fortune during his time in the boyband, and even though he struggled with addiction, he was able to keep most of it. Now, that money will probably be put into a trust to benefit his eight-year-old son, Bear.

In May, the Daily Mail reported that Liam’s former partner, Cheryl, is responsible for managing his money in a trust for their son, Bear, until he reaches adulthood.

People close to the former boyband member said he was determined to ensure his son was financially secure, no matter what happened to him.

I was shocked to learn that Sir Philip Payne left behind an estate worth over £28.5 million. However, after everything was settled – things like covering his debts and expenses – the final amount was closer to £24.28 million. I read all about it in the court filings, and it’s still a substantial sum, of course.

A friend of the singer said it’s somewhat comforting to know that Bear will be well taken care of and won’t have financial worries.

According to the source, Liam was surrounded by good advisors for a while, and he really loved his son, Bear. He was committed to providing for him financially and always aimed to do what was best.

After Liam passed away, a limited ‘Ad Colligenda Bona’ grant was issued for his estate. This type of grant is often used when someone is selling property from a deceased person’s estate, especially if the executors have already found a buyer soon after the death.

Cheryl’s name appeared in the legal papers with Richard Bray, a prominent music lawyer who has worked with artists like Ed Sheeran.

Fans were shocked and saddened by the unexpected death of Liam in October. He fell from a balcony on the third floor of the Casa Sur Hotel while in Argentina.

The official cause of death was determined to be polytrauma, which refers to injuries from multiple severe traumas to the body.

Argentine authorities have charged five individuals in connection with the singer’s death after he fell from a balcony on the third floor.

Authorities in Argentina have charged the hotel manager, a receptionist, and an associate of Payne with manslaughter, according to a previous statement from the National Criminal and Correctional Prosecutor’s Office.
