Liam Payne’s funeral, held recently in his hometown of Wolverhampton, was marked by the absence of Rogelio “Roger” Nores, a close friend who had been involved in Payne’s final days.
Liam Payne’s funeral, a private ceremony in Wolverhampton, highlighted his family’s effort to honor him without disruptions, prompting them to exclude Rogelio “Roger” Nores, a businessman and close associate of the late singer. Nores, who had a complex relationship with Payne, had reconnected with him before his death, joining him on a trip to Argentina. He was reportedly present at the CasaSur hotel multiple times on the day Payne tragically fell from his balcony, leading to ongoing investigations.
Despite Nores publicly mourning Payne and denying any involvement in the death, the Payne family felt his presence might cause tension. The decision not to invite him stemmed from differing accounts of his role in Payne’s life and questions raised by Argentinian authorities about his potential involvement. Nores has stated that he did not abandon Payne and has expressed profound grief over the loss.
Payne’s death on October 16, 2024, continues to be under investigation, with Nores denying allegations of neglect or wrongdoing.
