Liam Payne’s funeral will be a grand and emotional occasion, with plans to take place at a cathedral that holds special meaning to him. The beloved former One Direction star tragically passed away on October 16, 2024, after a fall from the third floor of his hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where he had been attending his ex-bandmate Niall Horan’s concert.
A close friend shared details with MailOnline, revealing that the funeral will be a “huge affair” to honor Liam’s impact on countless lives. “Liam was adored by so many, and the service will reflect that love and admiration,” the friend explained. “It will likely be held at a large cathedral that was close to his heart.” The funeral’s exact details are still being finalized but are expected to be announced soon.
Liam was in Argentina for a holiday when the accident occurred, where he had shared his love for the city, even mentioning his desire to buy a home in Buenos Aires. In the days following his death, tributes have flooded in from friends, family, and fellow musicians, including Niall Horan, who expressed his grief, and other notable figures such as Justin Bieber, Olly Murs, and Harry Styles’ mother, Anne.
Liam’s posthumous music also continues to make an impact. His song “Teardrops” entered the charts once again, and a duet he recorded with Sam Pounds, titled “Do No Wrong,” had its release postponed in the wake of the tragedy.
