One Direction star Liam Payne dies after falling from hotel balcony in Buenos Aires
One Direction star Liam Payne has died after falling from the third floor of a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires.
Police say they were called to the hotel after reports of an "aggressive man who may have been under the effects of drugs and alcohol".
Payne fell from the balcony after officers arrived, the statement adds.
Fans have been gathering outside the hotel to mourn the 31-year-old's death - lighting candles, singing One Direction songs and holding moments of silence.
Payne, from Wolverhampton in the UK, rose to global fame when One Direction were formed on the X Factor in 2010.
They became the biggest boy band in the world, before going on hiatus in 2016. Payne released his only solo album in 2019.
