AceShowbiz - The tragic death of One Direction star Liam Payne has left fans and loved ones heartbroken. The singer, who fell from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires on October 16, was only 31 years old. His death has prompted an outpouring of tributes from friends, colleagues, and fans alike.
Supermodel Naomi Campbell, who was briefly romantically linked with Payne in 2019, was among the latest stars to express her sorrow. In response to Nicole Scherzinger's tribute, Campbell commented with a series of emojis that highlighted her somber mood.
Scherzinger, who played a pivotal role in forming One Direction during her time as a judge on "The X-Factor," took to Instagram to share a moving tribute.

The heartfelt post was accompanied by a photo of Payne smiling alongside Scherzinger and Kelly Rowland on the set of their Netflix series "Building the Band."
Scherzinger was reportedly one of the last people to communicate with Payne before his untimely death. According to composer Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber, Scherzinger was texting Payne on the day he died. Despite receiving the tragic news just before a performance of "Sunset Blvd.," Scherzinger displayed remarkable professionalism and continued with the show.
Payne's former One Direction bandmates, as well as other celebrities like Cheryl Cole, Justin Bieber, and Shawn Mendes, have also shared their grief. Cole, who is the mother of Payne's son, wrote in a devastating tribute, "It's been so hard to process that you're no longer here, but I am grateful to have known your kind heart, sweet soul and character."
The autopsy report revealed that Payne had several substances in his system at the time of his death, including cocaine and benzodiazepine. The singer had previously been open about his struggles with substance abuse and mental health.
Payne's death has not only left a void in the hearts of his loved ones but also serves as a tragic reminder of the pressures and challenges faced by those in the public eye. As fans and friends continue to mourn, his legacy will undoubtedly live on through the music and memories he created.
