Liam Payne’s ‘extraordinary’ X Factor audition that made him a star goes viral again following his shock death at 31
As a dedicated follower of the music industry and a fan of One Direction, I can’t help but feel a deep sense of sadness and disbelief upon hearing the news about Liam Payne’s untimely death. I remember vividly his extraordinary X Factor audition in 2008, when he was just 14 years old, performing an impressive rendition of Frank Sinatra’s Fly Me To The Moon. It’s hard to believe that the same young boy who wowed the judges with his talent would one day achieve global superstardom as a member of One Direction.
Liam Payne’s remarkable performance during his X Factor audition is once more trending, following the unexpected news of his passing.
Reports suggest that the former member of One Direction, aged 31, passed away on Wednesday following an accidental or potential intentional fall from a third-story balcony at a hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The exact circumstances remain unclear.
In 2008, when he was only 14, a multitude of fans headed to YouTube to catch Payne’s debut performance on the British talent contest program.
He performed an impressive rendition of Frank Sinatra’s hit Fly Me To The Moon for judges Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh and his future ex-girlfriend Cheryl Cole.
Although he made it to Judges’ Houses round, Payne was sent home shortly after.
The judge suggested he should give it another try in two years, at which point he could reach worldwide fame as a member of the boy band One Direction.
