Liam Payne tragically died in a hotel plunge in Buenos Aires in Argentina last night - as more and more details emerge. The Wolverhampton-born singer was born August 29, 1993, and had early health battles and was bullied at secondary school. He made his debut as a singer when he auditioned for X Factor in 2008.
An unearthed clip shows baby-faced Liam telling the cameras: "When I'm at school, in general, I think about singing all the time. I should really be concentrating on my school work but I just think about singing too much." After being eliminated as a solo artist he auditioned again in 2010 and was put into a group with four others to form One Direction.
He survived by his son Bear, 7, his parents, Geoff and Karen Payne, and his two older sisters, Ruth and Nicola.
