The ceremony featured a dark blue coffin, adorned with white roses and floral tributes spelling “Son” and “Daddy,” in reference to his seven-year-old son, Bear, whom he shared with former partner Cheryl Tweedy. Cheryl, along with her fellow Girls Aloud members and Simon Cowell, who created One Direction on The X Factor, was seen among the mourners. Payne’s girlfriend, US influencer Kate Cassidy, and her friend Damian Hurley also attended.
Many attendees wore black in solidarity with the grieving family. Messages of grief and celebration were rife, showcasing the profound impact Payne had on his friends and the music industry. The investigative authorities in Argentina revealed troubling details surrounding his death, citing the presence of alcohol and narcotics in his system. Three individuals have been charged in connection with the incident.
Fans and locals gathered outside the church, holding vigils to pay their respects. One Direction’s remaining members expressed their devastation over Payne’s death in a joint statement, recalling him as a beloved brother and friend. Following his untimely passing, fans globally mourned his loss and created memorials in his hometown of Wolverhampton.
