Liam Payne, former One Direction singer, dead at 31

Former One Direction singer Liam Payne has died in Buenos Aires, according to several media reports.

The 31-year-old reportedly fell from the third floor of a hotel in the Argentinian capital.

Payne and four others — Niall Horan, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik — formed One Direction in 2010.

Also known as 1D, the group became one of the best-selling boy bands of all time.

The band announced an indefinite hiatus in 2015 and Payne went on to release solo singles.
