Less than an hour before his death in Buenos Aires, Argentina, former One Direction member Liam Payne was posting pictures and videos of himself and his girlfriend on social media. Here are those final posts.
On the day of his passing, Payne took to social media to share what would unknowingly become his last post. Fans across platforms like Instagram and X (formerly Twitter) pointed out the surreality of a person broadcasting their final day to millions in real-time. This interaction now feels strange for many, as they had no idea they were witnessing their final connection with the star.
As the news of his death broke, fans flooded his social media profiles with messages of grief, disbelief, and tributes to the singer. The Snapchat posts showed a happy and healthy-looking Payne in selfies and witty videos by himself or with his girlfriend. One story included a mirror selfie of him and his girlfriend in their bathing suits, both with a smile on their face.
Other posts include his gratitude for being in Argentina with the caption, "Lovely day in Argentina ❤️." In another photo, Liam made a humorous post on possibly dressing up as the character Forrest Gump from the film of the same name since he was sitting with his knees together. Other posts included his meals of the day and pictures of the beautiful hotel in which he was staying.
