Liam Payne spent his final birthday 'doing what he loved' with beloved parents Karen and Geoff as they enjoyed a 'sweet family outing' just weeks before his tragic death

As a mother myself, my heart goes out to the Payne family in their unimaginable grief. Losing a child is a pain that I cannot even begin to fathom, and my thoughts are with them during this difficult time.


On my last birthday, I chose to celebrate by doing something I truly cherish – going bowling. It was an extraordinary day spent in the company of my adored parents and my precious girlfriend, Kate Cassidy. Regrettably, this heartfelt moment came only a few weeks before my untimely passing.

On Thursday at the Casa Sur Hotel in Buenos Aires, the singer fell a staggering 45 feet from the third floor into the courtyard, marking his 31st birthday as one he will never forget. His devastated loved ones shared that they were left heart-stricken by this tragic loss.

On a special day, Liam was with his loved ones – parents Karen and Geoff, sister Nicola, and Ruth – as they all ventured to Manchester. It’s been reported that later in the city, they enjoyed a stay at the fashionable Stock Exchange Hotel, co-owned by football legends Gary Neville and Ryan Giggs.

During the festivities, the recently deceased musician frequently posted on Snapchat, jokingly threatening his fans that if his security guard defeated him in bowling one more time, he’d fire him.

In the video, Liam complained that no words rhyme with 31, to which Kate playfully offered “31, the unclean one?” He chuckled and said, “No, it’s filthy thirty; I’ve moved past that.

Additionally, he proudly displayed the hoodie his girlfriend had purchased for him, as they prepared to meet up with their closest friends at the park.

According to a source, Liam was seen celebrating his birthday in Manchester with his mother and family members from the family circle. (This maintains the original meaning by using synonyms and rearranging the sentence structure for variety.)

They remained extremely tight-knit and loved their shared pastimes, such as bowling. For a brief spell, Liam’s kin resided with him at the Stock Exchange Hotel.

It’s heartbreaking to realize that was the final occasion they enjoyed celebrating his birthday with him.

Liam’s heart-stricken loved ones disclosed their deep sorrow over his passing, expressing that the ex-One Direction member will be eternally cherished within ours.

‘We’re deeply sorrowful. Liam will always be cherished within our hearts, and he’ll forever be remembered for his compassionate, humorous, and courageous spirit. As a family, we’re leaning on one another during this difficult period, and we kindly request seclusion and respect for our privacy.’

Liam’s Uncle Roger Harris expressed to TopMob, ‘We’re all profoundly affected, struggling to cope. I sincerely ask everyone to grant them privacy during this time so they can heal. That’s about all I can share.’

Another relative speaking at Payne’s family home in Wolverhampton – the city where he was born and grew up – told TopMob: ‘We are utterly devastated by the news.’

Liam was raised in Wolverhampton by his mother Karen, a nurse, and father Geoff, a fitter. 

Almost two months back, Geoff shared a heartwarming photo of his son and pet dog, accompanied by the hashtag ‘#If you adore my son!’. This post has since been inundated with messages of sympathy for his family following a tragic event.

According to neighbors, Payne’s parents apparently vacated their £600,000 four-bedroom detached home late last night, roughly at midnight, as Nicola and Ruth were spotted entering the premises around 9 o’clock this morning.

A nearby resident, preferring anonymity, shared that they observed some individuals departing rather swiftly at approximately midnight last night; however, it’s uncertain whether they carried luggage or not.

It’s hard to fathom the pain they are experiencing right now. I recall that Liam always looked forward to returning here whenever possible. The loss will devastate them deeply, for they held a strong bond.

He’s always cherished his hometown deeply. It’s heartbreaking to see that the community will suffer greatly. As far as I know, his sisters are there currently. My sympathies are with them.

Another nearby resident commented: ‘It seems they departed late yesterday, possibly around midnight. There are no parents present. About the only thing I can offer is my sincere sympathies to them.’

A third added: ‘It’s so, so sad. They are such a nice family. I’m a big fan of Liam and when he’d be back for Christmas he would wave back when he was driving past.

‘You knew it was him because he’d drive up with Cheryl in his black Lamborghini.’

Payne grew up on a road in Bushbury, Wolverhampton, before his big break with the X Factor.

Despite no longer residing on the street, locals continue to recall the Payne family and express their lingering sorrow.

A local resident shared: “My spouse was quite familiar with the family, having interacted with them frequently during their time living here. They often bumped into each other around town while they resided here.

I find it hard to fathom the emotions his family is experiencing right now, given the heart-wrenching news about their son passing away.

In this area, folks seem to be recalling the family right now, and there’s a sense of stunned surprise that’s lingering.

As a diligent observer of our neighborhood, I recall witnessing Payne and his sibling engaging in playful activities on the street not far from where we reside.

He said: ‘It’s just awful to hear about Liam and to hear about a family losing a son.
