As I pore over this tragic tale of Liam, it leaves me feeling a profound sense of sadness and disbelief.

To think that such a vibrant spirit has been so cruelly snatched away is beyond heart-wrenching.


Zayn Malik is ‘in absolute bits’ over former One Direction bandmate Liam Payne’s shock death.

The news spread online that Liam, unfortunately, died at the age of 31 on a Wednesday night, following his fall from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Currently, a source who’s acquainted with Zayn Malik, aged 31, has shared insights about the singer’s response following the distressing information that recently surfaced.

An American music producer, who is collaborating with Zayn Malik (formerly of One Direction), shared with DailyMail.com that Zayn is deeply shocked by the unexpected death of his bandmate, Liam Payne.

At this time, it has been mentioned that Zayn’s family wishes for him to avoid solitude. As a result, he is currently in the company of his friends.

‘Zayn was told in the early hours of this morning and has been in absolute bits,’ they said. 

He’s reeling in shock, and they’ve reached out to Liam’s kin to extend their sympathies and aid.

‘People close to Zayn don’t want him to be alone at the moment, so he is surrounded by friends.’

I can’t help but reminisce about the days when the conversation between Zayn and Liam flowed effortlessly. However, over time, certain disagreements from our shared history seemed to have silenced their dialogue for a while.

As a confidant, I can confirm that there was a mutual respect between them, yet it was from afar. They didn’t harbor animosity towards one another, but their perspectives on various matters simply didn’t align.

‘But they both felt that they had been exploited in the music industry.’

DailyMail.com has reached out to Zayn for comment. 

In 2010, Zayn and Liam found themselves joining the group One Direction, which also included Harry Styles, Niall Horan, and Louis Tomlinson. This was a result of their individual auditions for the X Factor as solo performers.

Over time, the band experienced tremendous triumph, putting out five incredibly successful albums that topped the charts, shattering various records, and consistently selling out worldwide concerts.

Back in 2015, Zayn made headlines by departing from the group. A year later, when asked about his connection with his ex-bandmates, he expressed that he felt particularly close to Liam.

‘I’m still probably the closest to Liam. We talk on the phone. He congratulated me on my single. Which was nice. I congratulated him on his Brit Award,’ he said at the time.

Yet, by the year 2022, it appeared that their bond had grown tense, as Liam revealed in a podcast conversation, “I have numerous grounds for not liking Zayn.

‘But there are many reasons why I’ll always always be on his side,’ he added.

Liam was officially pronounced deceased following his fall of approximately 45 feet from the third floor onto the courtyard at the Casa Sur Hotel, located in the Palermo district of Buenos Aires.

Authorities said he died instantly from multiple injuries, including a fractured skull. 

Previous reports suggested that the authorities had been alerted about a potentially intoxicated or drug-affected individual displaying aggressive behavior at the hotel prior to their arrival.

A hotel worker made two calls, saying in the first: ‘We have a guest who’s off his head on drugs and is destroying everything in his room. We need someone to come.’

Later, he called back with this additional comment: “I’m unsure if the guest could be in peril. There’s a balcony in the room, and we’re concerned he may act impulsively.

According to local news, it was reported that Liam behaved strangely in the hotel lobby and broke his laptop. Subsequently, he needed assistance to return to his room.

The singer’s family told DailyMail.com afterwards that they are ‘utterly devastated’ by his death.

They shared their deep sorrow. Liam will always be cherished within us, as we recall his compassionate, amusing, and courageous spirit.

As a family, we’re doing our utmost to help each other during these difficult times. We kindly request some privacy and room to grieve.

Earlier this month, I, a diehard fan, touched down in Argentina, eagerly anticipating my ex-bandmate Niall’s concert with the lovely Kate Cassidy by my side.

She left two days ago, explaining in a TikTok video that she ‘needed to go home,’ but he stayed in the South American country alone.

His shock passing comes days after his ex-fiancée Maya Henry started legal proceedings against him.

Last week, it’s said that she delivered ‘cease and desist’ documents to Liam following her allegation that he had been persistently reaching out to her.
