The news shocked millions of fans around the world: on Wednesday night, Liam Payne, former member of the group One Direction, died after a fall from his hotel room in Argentina, aged just 31. Discovered in 2010, this British boy band left its mark on an entire generation, so much so that rallies are planned just about everywhere to pay tribute to the singer, including this Sunday, October 20, 2024 at the Jardin des Tuileries in Paris.
French fans, who saw the band split up in 2016 after the departure of one of the members, Zayn Malik, thus wish to"gather, mourn and say goodbye to him", from 2pm. Hundreds of these former"directioners" are expected near the octagonal basin and the monument to Charles Perrault, to lay"flowers, drawings, photos, candles, and anything else you wish to lay in his honor", all afternoon.
Many artists reacted to the singer's death, including his former partners, who were "totally devastated", both individually and in a collective post on the band's Instagram account, which hadn't been used in years. A tragic death, in a context of"alcohol and drug abuse", which leaves a seven-year-old boy, whom he had had with British singer Cheryl, fatherless.
