Liam Payne, a former member of the boy band One Direction, tragically passed away after falling from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires. Singer-songwriter Sam Pounds, who had collaborated with Payne on a song called “Do No Wrong,” announced that the track would be released posthumously on November 1st. Pounds expressed his hope that the song would be a blessing to the world and bring comfort to Payne’s family, including his sister Ruth Gibbins and his son Bear.
Pounds shared behind-the-scenes footage from his recording session with Payne and mentioned that Payne had expressed a desire for Chris Brown to feature on the track as well. Following Payne’s death, Pounds paid tribute to the singer on social media, reminiscing about their time together in the studio and mourning the loss of his talented friend. Payne had a successful career with One Direction, releasing five studio albums and achieving multiple No. 1 hits on the Billboard 200 chart. He also released a solo album, LP1, in 2019.
The tragic circumstances surrounding Liam Payne’s death were further revealed through a partial autopsy, which indicated the presence of “pink cocaine” and other substances in his system at the time of the fall. The preliminary autopsy suggested that Payne may have been in a state of unconsciousness or semi-consciousness during the incident, as his injuries and body position did not indicate any defensive reflexes. The fall resulted in severe cranioencephalic injuries and multiple traumas that were ultimately fatal.
Emergency services in Buenos Aires confirmed that Liam Payne’s injuries were so severe that they were immediately fatal, with fractures in his skull and hemorrhages in multiple parts of his body. The circumstances of his death painted a tragic picture of a talented and beloved artist whose life was cut short. The release of the song “Do No Wrong” served as a bittersweet reminder of Payne’s musical legacy and the impact he had on those who knew and loved him. The song was meant to be a tribute to Payne’s dreams and the positivity and healing power he brought to others.
