LIAM PAYNE LAID TO REST
It was a sombre day for many in the British music industry as former One Direction singer Liam Payne’s funeral took place in England.
His former bandmates, Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, and Zayn Malik were all in attendance.
The funeral, held in the English countryside just outside of the capital London, took place just over a month after Payne fell to his death from a third-floor balcony at a hotel in Buenos Aires, Brazil.
His ex-girlfriend and the mother of his child, Cheryl Cole also attended alongside their son, 7-year-old Bear.
The band members met when all five competed in the reality show X Factor in 2010. Back then, music genius Simon Cowell recognized that the five had something special together and created the boy band One Direction.
The five of them became one of the biggest boy bands the world has ever seen.
Cowell also attended the funeral and could be seen consoling Payne’s parents after the ceremony.
Payne’s girlfriend, Kate Cassidy was also in attendance. Just a few days before his death, Cassidy decided to return to England but Payne decided to stay on in Argentina.
