Liam Payne's family said they're heartbroken after the musician fell to his death from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Payne, who belonged to the wildly successful band One Direction before its members split up to pursue solo careers in 2016, was 31.
"We are heartbroken. Liam will forever live in our hearts and we'll remember him for his kind, funny and brave soul," the family said in a statement to PA Media, the U.K. and Ireland's national news agency. "We are supporting each other the best we can as a family and ask for privacy and space at this awful time."
At just over five feet tall, Sabrina Carpenter is one of the giants of the pop world. Her latest album, "Short n' Sweet," debuted at #1. But that's not the half of it: Her first three singles – "Espresso," "Please Please Please" and "Taste" – all hit the top five of Billboard's Hot 100 in the same week. The only other music act to do that was The Beatles back in 1964.
Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson claims in his soon-to-be released memoir that Queen Elizabeth II was diagnosed with bone cancer before her death in September 2022 at the age of 96. His assertion represents a significant break with royal protocol between the prime minister's office and Buckingham Palace, under which the U.K.'s elected leaders generally keep the royal family's private matter to themselves.
