One Direction Fans Struggle With ‘Complicated Feelings’ While Grieving Liam Payne: ‘I Wished for Him to Get Better and Make Amends’


Fans of the boy-band sensation grieve for the Liam Payne they loved, but struggle with reports of his behavior.

The circumstances around Payne’s death were even more shocking: Just 31 years old, the singer fell from a third-floor balcony at a Buenos Aires hotel after police were called regarding “an aggressive man who could be under the effects of drugs and alcohol,” local authorities said. Fans gather at the Peter Pan statue adorned with flowers and balloons during a tribute event for One Direction singer Liam Payne in Hyde Park on Oct. 20 in London, England. That sentiment was evident at the London gathering, where nearly a thousand fans converged to leave flowers, heart-shaped balloons and letters beneath a statue of Peter Pan — the boy who never grew up.
