The death of Liam Payne, who shot to stardom as a member of British boy band One Direction and grappled with intense global fame while still in his teens, sent shockwaves across the world Thursday as Argentine investigators continued their investigation at the scene.

Police said they had rushed to the hotel Wednesday in response to an emergency call just after 5 p.m. local time that had warned of an"aggressive man who could be under the influence of drugs or alcohol." Paris Hilton also sent condolences on X, saying the news was"so upsetting." The Backstreet Boys said in a social media post that their hearts go out to"Directioners around the world."
Payne had prominent solos on songs including"Stole My Heart" and"Change Your Ticket," co-writing several of the band's hits. One Direction had six Top 10 hits on the Billboard charts by the time they disbanded in 2016 and a highly loyal fan base, known as"Directioners," many of them teen girls. While Styles became a huge solo star, the others had more modest success. Payne's 2017 single"Strip That Down," featuring Quavo, reached the Billboard Top 10, and stayed on the charts for several months. He put out an album"LP1" in 2019, and his last release -- a single called"Teardrops" -- was released in March.
Payne was previously engaged to Maya Henry, from August 2020 to early 2022. Henry released a novel earlier this year that she said was based on their relationship. Mitch McConnell said after the 2020 election that then-U.S. president Donald Trump was 'stupid as well as being ill-tempered,' a 'despicable human being' and a 'narcissist,' according to excerpts from a new biography of the Senate Republican leader that will be released this month.The U.S.
