The Irish singer had recently met up with Liam at one of his concerts in Buenos Aires. The autopsy shows that Payne died from multiple traumas and internal and external bleeding caused by the fall from the third-storey balcony.

Former bandmate Harry Styles also posted a message about Payne, saying “His greatest joy was making other people happy, and it was an honour to be alongside him as he did it. Liam lived wide open, with his heart on his sleeve, he had an energy for life that was infectious, He was warm, supportive, and incredibly loving”.

“All the laughs we had over the years, sometimes about the simplest of things, keep coming to mind through the sadness. We got to live out our wildest dreams together and I will cherish every moment we had forever. The bond and friendship we had doesn’t happen often in a lifetime.”

“I feel so fortunate that I got to see him recently. I sadly didn’t know that after saying goodbye and hugging him that evening, I would be saying goodbye forever. It’s heartbreaking. Horan also sent his sympathies to Liam’s loved ones including his son, Bear. Thank you for everything, Payno. Love you, brother, Nialler”.
