Liam Payne’s funeral is scheduled for this week in his hometown of Wolverhampton, following the tragic passing of the One Direction star on October 16 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The 31-year-old singer’s family has been meticulously planning the private ceremony, but sources reveal that tensions are rising over the guest list. Specifically, Argentinian businessman Roger Nores, who had been connected to Liam in the days leading up to his death, is not expected to be invited. Reports suggest that Nores’ presence would cause discomfort, as the family feels strained by his involvement.
Liam’s family aims to ensure the funeral is a peaceful event, but unresolved issues surrounding Nores have added to the stress of an already difficult time. According to a source close to the family, Nores’ relationship with the singer in recent months had become complicated. While Nores claims he had stepped back from his professional connection with Liam, others suggest that it was Liam who had distanced himself. The family is reportedly uncomfortable with Nores attending, especially amid ongoing investigations into Liam’s death in Argentina.
Before Liam’s tragic fall from a hotel balcony in October, Nores had visited the CasaSur Hotel multiple times. Authorities have charged him in connection with the incident, and he has given statements to the prosecutor. In one such statement, Nores expressed his disbelief over the tragedy, describing how he left the hotel only 40 minutes before the fatal fall, surrounded by other individuals. Despite his claim that he was a close friend rather than a manager to Liam, the family’s discomfort with his presence at the funeral is clear.
The investigation into Liam’s death continues to unfold, with the family focusing on honoring him in a way that ensures respect for his legacy. Nores’ exclusion is one of many decisions the family has had to make as they navigate the emotional and logistical challenges of laying their loved one to rest. With emotions running high, they are determined to protect the sanctity of the funeral and avoid any unnecessary tension.
As the funeral draws closer, fans and loved ones are remembering Liam Payne, not only for his successful music career with One Direction but also for the person he was. Tributes from friends and fellow bandmates, including Harry Styles, Niall
