Matt Charlton, music writer and broadcaster, criticises TMZ's 'shameful' decision to publish images of Liam Payne's body after his death.

Singer Olly Murs, who starred on The X Factor a year before One Direction, said he was "lost for words", describing Payne's death as "devastating" on Instagram.

The Wanted star Max George said Payne had "supported me a lot" after the death of his bandmate Tom Parker from a brain tumour in March 2022.

Rylan Clark called the signer's death "so tragic" on X, while fellow former X Factor contestants Jedward sent their love to Cheryl, his son Bear and "all the One Direction family".

One Direction fans have gathered outside the hotel in Buenos Aires where Liam Payne was found dead. 

The crowd is singing One Direction songs and lighting candles in remembrance of the star. 

O’Leary, who hosted The X Factor during both of Payne’s appearances, shared a photograph of the pair on stage, captioning the Instagram post: “The worst news”.

“I remember him as a 14-year-old turning up to audition on The X Factor, and blowing us away singing Sinatra. He just loved to sing,” he wrote.

“He was always a joy, had time for everyone, polite, grateful, and was always humble.”

The mother of Harry Styles, Payne's One Direction bandmate, paid tribute with a broken heart emoji on Instagram, writing: Just a boy.
