Liam Payne has reportedly died after falling off a hotel balcony in Argentina.
Eyewitnesses told TMZ that the Former One Direction star died Wednesday evening after plunging from the 4th floor of the CasaSur Palermo Hotel. He was only 31 years old.
SNIP
TMZ published a photo of what appears to be Payne’s arm. The outlet decided not to post the picture in its entirety because it reportedly shows the singer’s body on a wooden deck with tables and chairs nearby. The tattoos — a clock on his left forearm and a scorpion on his abdomen — in the image appear to match the One Direction star’s ink.

Who is this?????
Don’t care
He’s the Billy Joel of his day.\.
“Died suddenly”
Witnesses say the fall was actually quite harmless, rather hitting the ground was what did the damage.
There’s only one direction in the faces that I’ve seen,
That’s downward to where the pavement said to be
RIP Liam Payne.
For Gen-Z girls, this would be like Paul McCartney dying in 1965.
My daughters all loved “One Direction” but (thankfully) not to the exclusion of real life.
Like the forest fight for sunlight, that takes root in every tree
They are pulled up by the magnet, believing they’re free
You forget “Get off my lawn!”
I’d never heard of him until I saw this a few minutes ago.
Maybe he didn’t have the best of friends . . .

There really is only one direction and we’re all falling for it.
Poor fellow. He’s now a reliable vote for Kamala.
I heard about them because I watched a “reaction” video of a less than teenage girl reacting to a Beatles song. The young girl said that the Beatles reminded her of the group, “One Direction”
I looked at 2 of their music videos....some kind of meandering tunes with the group running on a beach somewhere..insipid...tune could have easily be generated by AI...very little musical talent of any sort displayed.
A mostly PEACEFUL fall.
Amazing how young, famous people are dying..
....when you’re out on the road, and feeling quite lost
Remember the burden of fame...
——Gordon Lightfoot
As opposed to 1966, when he really did? :-)
Or Leif Garrett dying in 1979.
