Zayn Malik 'in shock' over former bandmate Liam Payne's tragic death


Zayn Malik is said to be 'in bits' over the sudden death of his former One Direction bandmate Liam Payne, who died after falling from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires

Liam, who rose to stardom as one part of the globally adored boyband, shot to fame back in 2011 on The X Factor, where Simon Cowell famously grouped him with Louis Tomlinson, Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, and Niall Horan to form One Direction. Meanwhile, Alberto Crescenti, a spokesman for the City ambulance service, has stated that the fall was closer to 40 metres and resulted in "severe injuries which were incompatible with life." The local ambulance official released a statement to TN, describing the event: "At 17.04 through the 911 integrated public safety system, we were alerted of a person who was in an internal courtyard of the management of a south house hotel."
