The former band members of One Direction have released a joint statement following the death of Liam Payne aged 31.
The band, who were formed on X-Factor in 2010, was made up of Payne, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, and Zayn Malik.
Though One Direction was one of the highest selling boy bands of all time, Malik left the group in 2015, and the rest of its members went on an ‘indefinite hiatus’ in 2016.

Payne was sadly found dead at a hotel in Argentina on 16 October.
While initial reports stated he had fallen from his third story hotel room, it was later confirmed by Pablo Policicchio, the spokesperson for the security ministry of Buenos Aires.

Now, One Direction have addressed the tragic loss in a joint tribute.
The former band members’ statement reads: “We’re completely devastated by the news of Liam’s passing.
“In time, and when everyone is able to, there will be more to say. But for now, we will take some time to grieve and process the loss of our brother, who we loved dearly.
“The memories we shared with him will be treasured forever.
“For now, our thoughts are with his family, his friends, and the fans who loved him alongside us.
“We will miss him terribly.
“We love you Liam.”
The statement was signed by all four former members of the band.
This comes amid the global shock of Payne’s death, which has led fans to amass outside the hotel in Buenos Aires and online tributes to pour in.
This includes various from celebrities, who have rushed to pay their respects to the late singer.
