A very heartbroken Simon Cowell was seen arriving at Liam Payne’s funeral, just a month after the singer’s tragic death in Argentina.
The star passed away at the age of 31 in October after falling from his hotel’s balcony in the Argentinian capital city of Buenos Aires.
After his death, Cowell could be seen posting moving tributes to the star and describing him as the most kind, loving, and talented pop star that he had ever come across. He also shared how much Liam loved his fans and never forgot them.
The music mogul first met Liam Payne during his auditions for the X Factor. This was a long time back when Liam was just 14.
His first audition blew the judges away including Simon Cowell who is known as a tough cookie and very hard to impress.
Since then, Cowell has been all praise for the celeb. Finding out about Liam’s tragic death shattered Cowell’s heart who was one of the first celebs to issue a heartbreaking tribute after the news was published online.
Cowell shared how he and Liam were good friends and they kept in touch. His partner accompanied him at the funeral that was restricted to only close family members and friends
