Liam Payne vigils held across the globe including London and Liverpool
London, Liverpool, Wolverhampton among UK cities to host vigils to Liam Payne.
Vigils continue to be held across the globe in honour of the late Liam Payne.
The One Direction star tragically fell to his death from the balcony of his hotel room in Buenos Aires, Argentina on October 16 at the age of 31, and fans have been mourning the devastating loss ever since.
Vigils for the singer have been held in cities including his hometown of Wolverhampton, Liverpool, Birmingham, London, and as far as Sydney in Australia and Manila in the Philippines.
There was a huge turn out as flowers were laid outside St Peter's Church in Wolverhampton this weekend.
In Liverpool, fans gathered at Keel Wharf Bridge at the Albert Dock to sing 1D songs - including 'Story of my Life' - as flowers, photographs, teddy bears and other sentimental items were laid on the ground in memory of the beloved pop star.
One fan called Katy told ITV: "I couldn’t believe what had happened when I heard the news. It’s so sad to see someone die so tragically and so young."
And, in London, fans have gathered in the masses to place photos, flowers and balloons on a statue of Peter Pan in London's Hyde Park.
The first-known vigil took place outside the hotel in Argentina where he died.
Heartbroken fans gathered outside the CasaSur Palmero hotel to light candles and covered the street with tributes.
Liam's father, Geoff Payne, 66, was seen kissing some of the photograph’s fans had laid in his memory.
He mourned the loss of his boy a day after his death emerged in a joint statement from his family.
It read: “Liam will forever live in our hearts and we’ll remember him for his kind, funny and brave soul.
“We are supporting each other the best we can as a family and ask for privacy and space at this awful time.”
Emergency workers who rushed to the scene of Liam’s death were too late to save him.
Liam - whose battle with addiction and mental health has been well-documented - sustained multiple traumas that led to internal and external bleeding.
Eyewitnesses claimed the singer was displaying “disturbing” behaviour in the lobby of the hotel where he died, with authorities discovering alcohol and controlled substances in Liam’s trashed hotel suite.
Images of the inside of Liam’s hotel room emerged showing a smashed TV, what appeared to be white powder and medication.
Police said the singer’s suite was in total “disarray”.
However, they insisted there was no sign of third-party involvement in his passing.
