On Wednesday (October 16), it was reported that Payne had tragically died at the age of 31 after a tragic fall at a hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Payne had been staying at the Hotel CasaSur, when he suffered a fatal fall from a third floor room balcony.

The BBC reports that the head of Buenos Aires's SAME emergency medical service, Alberto Crescenti, told local television that Payne had suffered "very serious injuries incompatible with life as a result of his fall" and there was "no possibility of resuscitation".

Further tests are currently ongoing amid the investigation into the circumstances of his death.

As fans, friends, and family alike have all paid tribute to the star, so have Payne's former bandmates - with whom he helped create one of the most successful groups in the history of the music industry: One Direction.

Here are the full individual statements from each member.

Louis Tomlinson:

I am beyond devastated to be writing this but yesterday I lost a brother. Liam was somebody I looked up to everyday, such a positive, funny, and kind soul.

I first met Liam when he was 16 and I was 18, I was instantly amazed by his voice but more importantly as time went on I got a chance to see the kind brother I’d longed all my life for.

Liam was an incredible song writer with a great sense of melody, we often spoke of getting back in the studio together to try and recreate the writing chemistry we had built up in the band.

And for the record, Liam was in my opinion the most vital part of One Direction. His experience from a young age, his perfect pitch, his stage presence, his gift for writing. The list goes on. Thank you for shaping us Liam.

A message to you Liam if you’re listening,

I feel beyond lucky to have had you in my life but I’m really struggling with the idea of saying goodbye. I’m so grateful that we got even closer since the band, speaking on the phone for hours, reminiscing about all the thousands of amazing memories we had together is a luxury I thought I’d have with you for life. I would have loved to share the stage with you again but it wasn’t to be.

I want you to know that if Bear ever needs me I will be the Uncle he needs in his life and tell him stories of how amazing his dad was.

I wish I got chance to say goodbye and tell you one more time how much I loved you.

Payno, my boy, one of my best friends, my brother, I love you mate. Sleep well X

Zayn Malik:

Liam, I have found myself talking out loud to you, hoping you can hear me, I can't help but think selfishly that there was so many more conversations for us to have in our lives.

I never got to thank you for supporting me through some of the most difficult times in my life.

When I was missing home as a 17 yr old kid you would always be there with a positive outlook and reassuring smile and let me know you were my friend and that I was loved.

Even though you were younger than me you were always more sensible than me, you were headstrong, opinionated, and gave no [expletive]s about telling people when they were wrong.

Even though we butted heads because of this a few times, I always secretly respected you for it.

When it came to the music Liam, you were the most qualified in every sense. I knew nothing in comparison, was a novice child with no experience and you were already a professional. I was always happy to know, no matter what happened on stage we could always rely on you to know which way to steer the ship next.

I lost a brother when you left us and can't explain to you what I'd give to just give you a hug one last time and say goodbye to you properly and tell you that I loved and respected you dearly. I will cherish all the memories I have with you in my heart forever, there is no words that justify or explain how I feel right now other than beyond devastated.

I hope that wherever you are right now you are good and are at peace and you know how loved you are.

Love you bro.

Harry Styles:

I am truly devastated by Liam's passing.

His greatest joy was making other people happy, and it was an honour to be alongside him as he did it.

Liam lived wide open, with his heart on his sleeve, he had an energy for life that was infectious. He was warm, supportive, and incredibly loving. The years we spent together will forever remain among the most cherished years of my life. I will miss him always, my lovely friend.

My heart breaks for Karen, Geoff, Nicola and Ruth, his son Bear, and all those around the world who knew and loved him, as I did.

Niall Horan:

I'm absolutely devastated about the passing of my amazing friend, Liam. It just doesn't feel real.

Liam had an energy for life and a passion for work that was infectious. He was the brightest in every room and always made everyone feel happy and secure.

All the laughs we had over the years, sometimes about the simplest of things, keep coming to mind through the sadness. We got to live out our wildest dreams together and I will cherish every moment we had forever. The bond and friendship we had doesn't happen often in a litetime.

I feel so fortunate that I got to see him recently. I sadly didn't know that after saying goodbye and hugging him that evening, I would be saying goodbye forever. It's heartbreaking.

My love and condolences go out to Geoff, Karen, Ruth, Nicola and of course his son Bear.

Thank you for everything, Payno.

Love you brother.

Nialler

One Direction - Group Statement:

We're completely devastated by the news of Liam's passing.

In time, and when everyone is able to, there will be more to say. But for now, we will take some time to grieve and process the loss of our brother, who we loved dearly.

The memories we shared with him will be treasured forever.

For now, our thoughts are with his family, his friends, and the fans who loved him alongside us.

We will miss him terribly.

We love you Liam.

Louis, Zayn, Niall and Harry.

Payne had originally auditioned for The X Factor back in 2008, but was asked by Simon Cowell to come back two years later.

As fate would have it, it would set Liam on the path to becoming one of the most successful names in modern pop music.

During his 2010 stint on the reality show, Payne was grouped with four other solo contestants to form a new boy band. Along with Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan, and Louis Tomlinson, the five-piece became One Direction - a group that would go on to change the landscape of modern pop music.

The group quickly gained popularity in the UK and abroad, and although they ended up finishing third in the competition, Simon Cowell would sign them to his Syco Records following the show.

They released their debut album, Up All Night in 2011, which became a top seller in multiple countries.

One Direction went on to have a multitude of number one albums and singles across the globe over the years - with some comparing their popularity to that of "BeetleMania" in the 60s.

Following One Direction's hiatus in 2016, Payne embarked on a solo career. He signed a deal with Republic Records in North America, and his debut single 'Strip That Down' featuring Quavo, released in 2017, was a commercial success. It marked his emergence as a solo artist with a more R&B and pop sound, distinct from the pop rock style of One Direction.

Warning: This article contains details that some readers will find upsetting.

Last week, it was tragically announced that Liam Payne had passed away suddenly at the age of 31.

The former One Direction singer had been staying at the CasaSur hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

During his time in the country, he attended a concert of former 1D bandmate, Niall Horan, along with his girlfriend, Kate Cassidy. The couple seemed in good spirits as Payne shared footage of them dancing at the concern on his social media pages, and later shared selfies with Horan.

Sadly, two days after Cassidy left the country, the heartbreaking news broke that Payne had died following a fall from the balcony of his third-floor hotel room.

Despite authorities attending to the singer promptly, Payne's injuries were so severe that first responders stated that there had been "no possibility of resuscitation".

The singer's father, Geoff, has since traveled to the city for the recognition of the body and to arrange its repatriation.

The results of Payne's preliminary autopsy were released on Thursday, detailing that the singer suffered severe injuries that led to “internal and external hemorrhaging” from the fall, according to a post-mortem carried out by two forensic pathologists in Buenos Aires.

Alberto Crescenti, head of the Buenos Aires emergency services, previously revealed Payne had a "cranial fracture and extremely serious injuries that led to his immediate death".

With tributes pouring in for the singer, authorities in Argentina have released more details regarding Payne's tragic death.

In a statement to AP, authorities confirmed that medics confirmed Payne's death at the scene, adding that he had suffered "extremely serious injuries".

Forensic experts later concluded that "the 25 injuries described in the autopsy are compatible with those caused by a fall from a height".

Additionally, the Public Prosecutor's Office has said in a statement: "The head injuries were sufficient to cause death, while the internal and external hemorrhages in the skull, chest, abdomen and limbs contributed to the mechanism of death."

It adds that police were already arriving at the hotels following emergency calls just after 5:00PM from a hotel manager expressing concerns about the safety of an unnamed male guest.

In the official statement, police authorities state that the 31-year-old had "jumped from the balcony of his room", with forensic experts detailing that Payne had no "defensive type" injuries and that his wounds were "vital and produced at the same time as each other".

The Buenos Aires police also said in its statement that the singer's hotel room was "in complete disarray".

According to Argentinian outlet La Nacion, per AP, authorities are ruling out "the intervention of third parties". That being said, Argentine prosecutors said on Thursday that they are investigating the events leading up to the singer's death, which they described as "suspicious" - citing potential drug and alcohol use.

Per The Mirror, the singer's body is expected to remain in Argentina for a further 10 to 15 days, until the results of toxicological tests are known. The outlet adds that Payne's medical history may be requested to analyze his mental health history.

As authorities await the results, the singer's tragic death is currently deemed "inconclusive" by Argentina's National Criminal and Correctional Prosecutor's Office, according to a report from the Daily Mail.

One Direction were formed on The X Factor back in 2010.

The band would take a hiatus in 2016, as each member pursued solo opportunities.
