Liam Payne's Cousin Reflects on Death of Singer

Ross Harris said the former One Direction singer felt unloved before his death and planned to urge friends to spend time with him.

  • On Thursday's edition of ITV's Good Morning Britain, musician Ross Harris discussed his cousin Liam Payne's emotional struggles, claiming the singer "didn't feel very loved" despite his global superstardom.
  • Reflecting on Payne's early start, Harris explained the singer struggled with the intense pressures of worldwide fame since launching his career at 16 on The X Factor.
  • Missing a phone call while in a recording session hours before Payne's death, Harris later described the incident as "a strange thing I keep trying to process," adding: "It's going to be a regret that lives with me forever."
  • Before his death, Harris had planned to send messages encouraging acquaintances to "hang out" with Payne and "make sure he knows he's loved," later launching a charity track in his cousin's memory.
  • Payne died on October 16, 2024, after falling from a hotel balcony in Argentina; in February 2025, a court dropped criminal negligence charges against three of five individuals charged in connection with his death.
