Liam Payne Mourned by Charlie Puth, Zedd, One Direction Bandmate and More: 'Can't Believe This Is Real'

Liam Payne tributes poured in Wednesday afternoon in the hours following his sudden death after falling from the balcony of his Buenos Aires hotel. Charlie Puth and Dan Richards, guitarist for the late pop star's U.K. boy band One Direction, were among those paying tribute to the 31-year-old musician. Puth, who co-wrote Payne's 2017 song "Bedroom Floor," posted an uncaptioned photo of himself with Payne on his Instagram feed. "I am in shock right now. Liam was always so kind to me. He was one of the first major artists I got to work with. I can not believe he is gone," Puth wrote . . .
