The 4 remaining members of boy band One Direction, Niall Horan, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik, attended the funeral. One Direction was formed in 2010 and existed for only 6 years, until their so-called “temporary hiatus”. Yet the young singers were immensely popular and an outright mania arose around the band.
TV personality and producer Simon Cowell, who brought the boys of One Direction together after their participation in X Factor, was also present at the funeral, as was influencer Kate Cassidy, Payne’s girlfriend.
Payne’s ex-partner, Cheryl Cole, brought their 7-year-old son Bear to the service. As a singer, she was part of the British girl group Girls Aloud. Some of her bandmates also paid their last respects.
