Liam Payne’s funeral, set to take place this week in Wolverhampton, has become the focus of emotional and logistical considerations for his family as they prepare to bid farewell to the beloved singer. The tragic loss of the former One Direction star has deeply affected fans and loved ones worldwide, but it is the family’s difficult decisions over the guest list that have garnered particular attention.
Reports suggest that Rogelio “Roger” Nores, an Argentinian music mogul and close associate of Liam, has not been invited to the private funeral. This decision reportedly stems from ongoing investigations into the circumstances surrounding Liam’s death in Buenos Aires. Three suspects have been charged in connection with the tragedy, though Roger has firmly denied any involvement. Despite his statements, tensions surrounding his presence have influenced the family’s decision to exclude him from the service.
According to a source, the family aims to maintain a solemn and peaceful atmosphere, free of external distractions or controversies. “Liam’s family want his funeral to go off without a hitch,” they explained, highlighting that strained opinions regarding Roger have influenced the guest list. While Roger was once close to Liam, their relationship reportedly faced challenges, and his presence at the funeral could detract from the intended focus on celebrating Liam’s life.
Roger has addressed the allegations publicly, emphasizing his innocence and recounting the events leading up to Liam’s passing. However, the investigation into the incident remains active, and the family has opted to prioritize unity and privacy during this difficult time.
The funeral is expected to be an intimate gathering of close friends and family, with a focus on honoring Liam’s legacy
