FAME

The singer first auditioned for the X Factor as a solo artist in 2008, aged just 14, but was eliminated.

Two years later he tried again and was included as part of boyband One Direction, formed by music mogul Simon Cowell especially for the ITV show.

After reaching the final stages of the competition, the band went onto huge global success, becoming one of the highest selling boybands of all time.

They went on indefinite hiatus in 2016.

The following year, Liam released solo single Strip That Down, featuring US rapper Quavo, which peaked at number three and was nominated for two Brit Awards.

He released his only solo album LP1 in 2019.

The singer began dating Girls Aloud member and former X Factor judge Cheryl in 2016.

In March 2017 the couple welcomed son Bear. They split the following year.

He had an on-off, three-year relationship with ex-fiancée Maya Henry which was said to have ended for good in May, 2022.

Earlier this week Henry called in the lawyers after accusing Liam of repeatedly messaging her, her friends, and her mum.

DRUG BATTLE

The singer had been open about his battles with drugs.

In 2021, he blamed a “pills and booze phase” for bloating his face to “ten times the size”, while also revealing he used to guzzle the contents of his mini bar when band chiefs checked the lads into hotels to keep fans at bay.

In 2019, Liam revealed he suffered suicidal thoughts as he struggled with his fame on Ant Middleton And Liam Payne: Straight Talking.

He said: “For some certain circumstances I’m quite lucky to be here still.

“There are times when that level of loneliness and people getting into you every day, it’s like, ‘When will this end?’ That’s almost nearly killed me a couple of times.”

He is survived by his son Bear, seven, his parents, Geoff and Karen Payne, and his two older sisters, Ruth and Nicola.
