Liam Payne was dropped by his music label just days before 'drug-induced episode' in Buenos Aires that ended in his shock hotel fall death


Liam Payne had been dropped by his record label Universal Music last week, while his PR resigned earlier this month, as one source said the 31-year-old's solo career was 'crumbling'.

Originally signed to Sony as part of One Direction, Liam penned a deal with Capitol Records, a label owned by Universal, in July 2016 when he launched his solo career at just 22 years old. Liam impressed the judges in 2010 singing Michael Buble's rendition of Cry Me A River before he was put with four other solo hopefuls at the boot camp stage of the competition - the group which later became One Direction. In heartbreaking footage posted online, the singer, 33, was seen at one point holding her head in her hands as she turned away from the crowd and looked up to sky before saying 'I can't even sing this right now'.
