The funeral of One Direction star Liam Payne will take place on Wednesday, just over a month after he died at the age of 31.<\/p>\n

His former bandmates are among those expected to attend the private service in the Home Counties in south-east England, alongside his family and closest friends.<\/p>\n

The musician died after falling from a third-floor balcony of a hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina.<\/p>\n

An autopsy confirmed the 31-year-old had suffered internal and external bleeding and multiple traumatic injuries sustained as a result of the fall.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In a short statement following his death, Liam’s family said: “We are heartbroken. Liam will forever live in our hearts and we’ll remember him for his kind, funny and brave soul.”<\/p>\n

Payne was one of the most recognisable names in pop, after rising to fame on the X Factor in the 2010s.<\/p>\n

Despite only coming third on the show, One Direction went on to become the biggest British group since The Beatles.<\/p>\n

During their five-year career, they sold 70 million records, including four UK number one singles and four number one albums.<\/p>\n

A co-writer on many of their hits, Payne also achieved solo success with tracks like Strip That Down and Bedroom Floor.<\/p>\n

He is survived by his parents, two sisters, and his son Bear, whom he had with Girls Aloud singer Cheryl.<\/p>\n

Payne’s girlfriend at the time of his death, Kate Cassidy, is also expected to attend the funeral on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
