Los Angeles: Tributes have been pouring in for Singer Liam Payne (31), who met an untimely end this week after falling multiple stories at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina. An autopsy revealed that Payne, 31, died as a result of severe head trauma.
One of the mourners is Anne Twist, the mother of Harry Styles, who has paid tribute to her son’s One Direction bandmate, Liam Payne, after his death at 31.
Anne remembers Payne, who rose to prominence with the band One Direction, as “Just a boy,” as she wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of a broken heart emoji in front of a black background.
According to People magazine, Lynne Twist spent a lot of time with Payne over the years after her son Styles shot to fame with him on The X-Factor UK in 2010.

After auditioning by himself, the judges teamed Payne up with fellow solo contestants Styles, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan, and Louis Tomlinson to form One Direction. They ended up skyrocketing to superstardom despite coming third in the show.
Multiple X-Factor stars also paid tribute to Payne on social media, with host Dermot O’Leary sharing a black-and-white photo from their time on the show on Instagram alongside the caption, “The worst news. I remember him as a 14-year-old turning up to audition on The X Factor and blowing us away singing Sinatra. He just loved to sing. He was always a joy, had time for everyone, was polite, grateful, and was always humble. Sending love and prayers to his family.”
As per ‘People’, Lou Teasdale, the band’s hairstylist, makeup artist and close friend through the years, shared a simple Instagram Stories message that read, “I hope you’re all ok”, alongside a broken heart emoji. She then shared a clip of the band performing their 2015 track “Infinity”, which was one of the final songs they released on their last album ‘Made in the A.M.’ before they took a hiatus in 2016 following Malik’s departure from the band the year prior — with the caption, “Forever” and a white love heart emoji.
