Liam Payne dies – level 2

22-10-2024 07:00

One Direction singer Liam Payne died at the age of 31. He fell from a hotel in Argentina, as police reported.

Liam was famous after being on The X Factor in 2010 and later became a member of the popular boy band with Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson, and Niall Horan. Liam had problems with his mental health and alcohol, and he went to rehab before. Many people, including his friends and fans, are sad and shocked by his death. Harry Styles’ mom even shared a message online to show how heartbroken she is.

One Direction became one of the biggest bands in the world, and after they paused, Liam worked on his music. Even after his death, fans will always remember him for his music and kind heart.

Difficult words: mental (relating to the mind and thinking), rehab (a place where people go to get help when they have a problem with drugs), heartbroken (very sad).
