Heartbroken fans have descended on the Buenos Aries hotel where former One Direction member Liam Payne died last night to lay candles and flowers in tribute to the singer. 

The popstar fell to his death from the third floor of a room in the Casa Sur Palmero Hotel shortly after 5pm (ART) yesterday . 

Local police said they had been called to the luxury hotel prior to Liams fall after being informed of an aggressive man who may have been under the effects of drugs and alcohol

He had reportedly arrived in the Latin American country earlier this month to attend his ex bandmate Niall Horans concert. 

Last night, thousands of fans gathered outside the hotel, while emergency services worked at the scene around a central red tent at the location the star fell. 

Some lit candles, some sang One Direction songs and others held each sobbing as they paused to remember Mr Payne who was one fifth of the most succesful boy band of the 2010s. 

In order to control the crowd, Argentinian police were forced to form a line in front of the hotel to stop distraught local fans getting too close to the scene.

Singer Olly Murs, who starred on The X Factor the year before One Direction, said he was lost for words, describing Paynes death as devastating on Instagram.

We always had a good laugh when we saw each other, sometimes the catch ups were only short and sweet but when we did it was mostly about how annoyingly good his hair always looked, or our love for Becks, the old XF (X Factor) days and the tour we shared together, Murs wrote beside a picture of the pair.

Liam shared the same passions as me, the same dreams so to see his life now end so young hits hard, Im truly gutted and devastated for his family and of course his son Bear losing a dad.

Harry Styles mother Anne Twist posted a broken-hearted emoji on Instagram, captioning it: Just a boy. 

Fellow former contestant Katie Waissel wrote: My heart is completely torn to shreds right now, I am at an absolute loss for words.

He said: I remember him as a 14 year old turning up to audition on The X Factor, and blowing us away singing Sinatra. He just loved to sing.

He was always a joy, had time for everyone, polite, grateful, and was always humble.

Sending love and prayers to his family. Dx

Liam Paynes ex-fiancée Maya Henry has broken her silence following the singers sudden death. 

A source close to Henry has told DailyMail.com: Right now she is obviously in shock.

The model only found out when a member of her team was contacted by a reporter. 

Liam began his pursuit to stardom when he initially auditioned for X Factor in 2008.

At only 14-years-old Liam impressed judges with his own version of Fly Me To The Moon by Frank Sinatra - but was later eliminated from the show. 

However Payne gave his singing career another go auditioning for the competition again in 2010, where he quickly shot to fame as part of One Direction. 

He and his former bandmates Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson, were brought together by Simon Cowell and former judge Nicole Scherzinger who saw their potential as a group.

After just a few weeks of getting to know each other and non-stop rehearsing, the group impressed Simon at their Judges Houses audition and sailed through to the live shows. 

The pop Svengali later admitted to Rolling Stone that it took him about a millionth of a second to spot the groups worldwide potential.

The fan reaction was instant too, with 1D hysteria soon dwarfing the show. Despite the adoration, the band ultimately finished in third place on the X Factor but shortly afterwards Cowell sealed their fate by signing the fivesome to a reported £2million Syco contract.

Keen to capitalise on the boys already devoted fanbase, Cowell moved quickly with recording for the bands debut album beginning in January 2011.

By September of that year One Directions first single was released with What Makes You Beautiful soaring to number one on the UK Singles Chart, after becoming the most pre-ordered Sony Music Entertainment single in history.

Their debut album, Up All Night was also a best seller, becoming the UKs fastest-selling debut album of 2011, with the record leading to their first tour which kicked off in the UK that December.

After Malik announced his departure from the band in 2015, the band members went their separate ways.
