Liam James Payne (29 August 1993 – 16 October 2024) was an English singer who rose to fame as a member of the pop boy band One Direction. Payne made his debut as a singer in 2008 when he auditioned for the British television series The X Factor. After being eliminated in the competition, he auditioned again in 2010 and was put into a group with four other boys to form One Direction, which went on to become one of the best-selling boy bands of all time. Payne worked with other producers under the monikers "Big Payno" and "Payno", creating remixes for songs by his group and Cheryl.
After One Direction went into hiatus in 2015, Payne signed a recording contract with Republic Records in North America. In May 2017, Payne released "Strip That Down" as the lead single from his debut solo studio album. It peaked at number three on the UK Singles Chart and number ten on the US Billboard Hot 100, being certified platinum in both countries. His debut studio album, LP1, was released in December 2019. He sold over 18 million singles in under three years after One Direction's hiatus, and accumulated over 3.9 billion career streams in that span. Payne died on 16 October 2024, after falling from a third-floor balcony of a hotel in the Palermo neighbourhood of Buenos Aires, Argentina, at the age of 31.
