The 31-year-old had listed his Buckinghamshire mansion for sale just a month prior, marking significant life changes before his untimely death (via New York Post). The $4.1 million property is located in Chalfont St Giles. It was listed on Rightmove in September 2024 but has since been removed.

The couple rented a $9,500-a-month home before his passing. Neighbors in Chalfont St Giles described the “Teardrops” singer as private but warm and appreciated his presence in the community.

Other attendees included his family, Kate Cassidy, and music mogul Simon Cowell. His girlfriend even shared an emotional tribute on social media, reflecting on their plans and cherished memories.
The circumstances of Payne’s death remain under investigation as of writing. Authorities in Argentina reported traces of alcohol, cocaine, and antidepressants in his system. Charges have been filed against three individuals, including allegations of abandonment and facilitating drug use. Liam Payne’s passing has left fans and the music world mourning the loss of a beloved artist whose career spanned over a decade, both as part of One Direction and as a solo performer.
