It was on The X Factor in 2010 where Liam was discovered alongside his One Direction bandmates. Five musicians auditioned for the solo show, but were forced together to form a band and ultimately came in third place in the competition. Later, One Direction were signed to Simon Cowell’s Syco Entertainment. The band became one of the best-selling boy bands in history, selling 70 million records worldwide before announcing an indefinite hiatus in 2016.

The singer-songwriter died last month after falling from the third floor of his hotel in Buenos Aires. He died on 16 October. His death was believed to be the result of multiple injuries from the fall, with preliminary toxicology reports revealing the presence of substances. Liam went to South America to support Niall, who was touring to promote his third studio album, The Show.
