AceShowbiz - Details regarding Liam Payne's funeral have found their way out online. If a new report is to be believed, the late singer's funeral is set to take place in the Home Counties on Wednesday, November 20.
According to The U.S. Sun, the funeral will be done private with only his family and closest friends attending. A wake will take place following the service.
"Liam's funeral is taking place in the Home Counties," a source told the news outlet. "His family have gone to great lengths to put together the perfect service and give him the send off he deserves."
The insider added, "Liam may have been a global superstar but to Geoff and Karen he will always be their little boy. It is going to be an incredibly difficult day."
It's also said that Liam's One Direction bandmates Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson will be attending the service.
While the four allegedly are set to attend the funeral, Liam's close friend Rogelio "Roger" Nores, who had traveled with the singer to Argentina to renew his visa to live in the U.S., was reportedly banned from the funeral. Roger, who is described by some as Liam's manager, reportedly "is not welcome" at the ceremony which is due to take place this week in the late star's hometown of Wolverhampton.
"Liam's family want his funeral to go off without a hitch and right now opinions are strained when it comes to Roger," a source told The U.S. Sun. "It's true he and Liam had a bond but he's never been popular when it comes to Liam's wider circle," the source said of Roger, who is currently being investigated by Argentinian authorities in relation to Liam's passing on October 16.
The source added, "There is a difference in the narrative, Roger would say he stepped back from working with Liam - others would say he was pushed."
