The former One Direction star died after falling from a third-floor balcony of the Casa Sur Hotel in Buenos Aires last month, at the age of 31. The public prosecutor's office in Argentina has said three people have been charged in connection with Mr Payne's death. Picture date: Friday November 8, 2024.

                                                                                                          On November 20, the singer’s funeral took place in Amersham, 27 miles northwest of Central London in Buckinghamshire. The service saw many paying their respects to a friend, family member, and loved one. Among the guests were the rest of the One Direction band—Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan, and Louis Tomlinson—along with Simon Cowell, who helped form the band on The X Factor. Also in attendance were Cheryl, who shares a son, Bear, with Payne, Kate Cassidy, Payne’s girlfriend, and many others.
