After the death of One Direction star Liam Payne, his family is speaking out against the "constant" media scrutiny.

Payne died aged 31 after falling from a balcony at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina. Police authorities have dropped manslaughter charges against one of his friends, Rogelio Nores, but two other men continue to face charges of supplying drugs to the singer on the evening of his death.

The statement came after Argentinian authorities dropped manslaughter charges last month against three of the people indicted in connection with the singer's death.

Liam Payne's family broke their silence after manslaughter charges were dropped against three men in connection with his death in a statement shared with the 'BBC' on Sunday, March 2. The One Direction alum died in October 2024 at the age of 31.

Liam Payne’s girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, is to speak about the singer with presenter Lorraine Kelly, her first TV interview since his death.The One Direction star died in October last year at the age of 31 after falling from a hotel balcony in Argentina.

Bear — whom Payne shared with ex Cheryl Cole — “is trying to process emotions which no 7-year-old should have to experience,” the family said in a statement.

The family's statement comes after manslaughter charges were dropped against hotel staff Gilda Martin, Esteban Grassi and Liam's associate, Roger Nores, in the case surrounding the One Direction star's death.
