Liam Payne Dropped by Label Before Tragic Death

Liam Payne’s Career Struggles and Recent Death

Former One Direction member Liam Payne was reportedly dropped by Universal Music just days before his tragic death on October 16, 2024.

Sources suggest that Payne’s solo career had been struggling for some time, and after delays with his anticipated second album, the label decided to part ways.

Additionally, Payne’s PR team had also resigned earlier in October, leaving him without key support during a difficult period in his career.

Payne, who was in Buenos Aires at the time of his death, fell from a hotel balcony, with reports indicating erratic behavior shortly before the incident.

His passing shocked fans and the music industry alike, with Universal Music issuing a heartfelt tribute, expressing their grief over his loss​.
