The sudden death of former One Direction member Liam Payne shocked the entertainment world, leaving fellow stars devastated, including an artist he once collaborated with on a major project.
Tributes from fellow stars continue to pour in as the entertainment world mourns the loss of Liam Payne, who tragically died at 31 after falling from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on October 16.
Music producer Zedd was heartbroken and shared his grief on X (formerly Twitter) even though he couldn’t believe the news.
TV personality and DJ Paris Hilton also expressed sadness as she ended her tweet with “RIP my friend🥺.”
More musicians honored Payne with heartfelt condolences. Rapper Flavor Flav kept his message short but heartfelt acknowledging that the musician was too young to die.
British DJ and songwriter Jonas Blue also said farewell on the same platform as he posted a picture of himself and Payne.
Anne Twist, Harry Styles’ mother, reacted to Payne’s death with a heartbroken emoji on a black background on Instagram. In her caption, she wrote, “Just a boy … 💔.”
Singer-songwriter Charlie Puth shared his heartbreak on his Instagram (IG) Story as he reminisced about the kind of person Payne was to him.
In another IG Story, an upset Puth shared an old photo of him and Payne smiling at each other.
Just weeks before his passing, the late English musician supported Niall Horan by attending the Irish singer and songwriter’s concert on October 3.
Payne was excited to go to the concert and shared a Snapchat photo of Horan performing, captured from the large screen.
In another picture he shared, he captured the audience with their phones held up and the purple-lit stage as he was proud of his friend.
He also shared a backstage photo with Horan, where Payne wore a dark-colored jacket over a light-colored t-shirt while his famous pal sported a striped shirt. Both looked in good spirits.
Before attending Horan’s concert, Payne had celebrated his 31st birthday on August 29. He wrote about his simple wish for the day in a post as he walked alone on the street in a gray hoodie.
While tributes continue to pour in, authorities are still investigating the circumstances of Payne’s tragic death. According to TMZ, Payne fell from the third-floor balcony of the CasaSur Palermo Hotel.
Earlier that day, hotel staff called emergency services after he was reportedly acting erratically in the lobby, smashing a laptop and needing to be carried back to his room.
Alberto Crescenti, the director of Buenos Aires Emergency Medical Services, told ABC News that emergency services arrived at 5:11 p.m., just a few minutes after the hotel’s call. Unfortunately, there was no possibility of saving Payne, whose identity was only confirmed after he was pronounced dead.
Crescenti added that Payne’s body was found in the hotel’s inner courtyard. He further explained to the local media outlet TN that the singer fell from a height of 13 to 14 meters (42 to 45 feet) and described his injuries as “very serious” and “incompatible with life.”
Before the incident, Payne traveled to Argentina with his girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, for a vacation besides attending Horan’s concert. However, his girlfriend reportedly left on October 14, while Payne remained behind.
With his recent death, Payne is survived by his son, Bear, whom he shares with singer Cheryl Cole. The couple confirmed they were expecting their first child in November 2016, with Bear born in 2017.
In a 2018 interview, Payne discussed the joys and challenges of fatherhood. He said, “I always wanted to be a young dad, but I didn’t really expect that I’d ever be in this place.”
Payne also humorously referred to himself as “Dada Montana” as he balanced his music career with being a parent. Before becoming a dad, he gained fame at 16 when he joined the One Direction boy band.
The group was launched on “The X Factor,” alongside Niall Horan, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, and Zayn Malik. Payne played a key role in their global success until the band disbanded in 2015.
The entertainment industry continues to mourn the loss of a beloved artist, with fellow stars remembering his talent and kindness. Our prayers go out to his family and all the fans who loved him.
Martha Stewart’s perfect response for haters who say she should dress her age
The legendary businesswoman Martha Stewart, known for her exquisite home décor and culinary prowess, is making news once more.
But it’s not for her newest dish or do-it-yourself project this time.
Stewart, who is eighty-two, is embracing her individuality and rejecting ageist preconceptions, especially when it comes to her style choices.
Stewart was asked recently about how she approaches dressing for her age while she was in New York City for the Fashion Group International Night of Stars event. Stewart dismissively answered the question of “dressing for one’s age” when it was posed, asking, “Dressing for whose age?” as reported by the Huffington Post.
For all women, Stewart’s defiance of age-related fashion standards is an inspiration. She asserts loudly that she doesn’t take age into account when making dress decisions, saying, “I don’t think about age.” I believe that as people get older, they get more and more amazing, and I salute each and every one of them, according to Page 6.
She declares with pride, “I’ve dressed the same since I was 17,” demonstrating her confidence.
Stewart has been causing a stir on social media with her daring dress choices in addition to her red carpet appearances. From taking pictures by the pool to becoming the oldest model to appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in history, Stewart celebrates her sexuality and individuality with unwavering courage.
In an open interview, Stewart highlighted how happy she was to be acknowledged as a sex icon at her age and how it could serve as an inspiration to others. She said, “I’m a teacher,” according to the Huffington Post. “I want to show people that having a great appearance is possible.” There’s no justification for moping around.
Stewart kept her usual sense of humor and spontaneity when questioned about her future intentions to share “thirst traps” on social media. Stewart’s lighthearted approach to life is charming and inspirational, whether he’s laughing about taking a picture with a polar bear in Greenland or just letting things happen.
