In a recent interview with The Times of London, Niall Horan opened up about the death of his former One Direction bandmate Liam Payne, who died in 2024 at the age of 31 after falling three floors from a hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Horan said he was with Payne in Argentina just a few weeks before he died. When he got news of Payne’s passing, Horan said he was in immediate denial.
