“Such a lovely day here in Argentina. This is the breakfast table, just enjoying coffee and breakfast even though it’s 1 pm,” Payne remarks in the video, as an off-screen companion jokes about their late-rising habits. The singer’s gentle smile and head shake in response create a haunting final image for fans.
Argentine newspapers La Nacion and Clarin report that police were summoned to the Palermo district hotel following an emergency call about “an aggressive man possibly under the influence of drugs and alcohol.” Tragically, emergency responders could only confirm Payne’s death upon arrival.

Payne’s journey to stardom began on The X Factor in 2010, where One Direction was formed. Alongside Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan, and Louis Tomlinson, he rode the wave of global fame until the band’s 2016 hiatus. Since then, Payne has been carving out a solo career.
As fans and fellow musicians grapple with this loss, the contrast between Payne’s cheerful final video and the circumstances of his death serves as a stark reminder of life’s fragility, even for those in the spotlight.
