Back in 2020, Liam Payne shared a heartbreaking letter he wrote to his ten-year-old self.

Police were called to the CasaSur hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina, at around 5pm local time on Wednesday (October 16) in a chilling 911 call.

A man, who was later identified as former One Direction member Liam Payne, had fallen from the balcony of the hotel.

Local officials confirmed they were called over reports of an 'aggressive man who could be under the effects of drugs and alcohol'.

Payne had been staying with his girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, who returned to the US two days before his death.

According to reports from Marca and The Mirror, preliminary results from Payne's autopsy confirmed he had died from 'internal and external haemorrhaging' following the fall. However, police are waiting for more tests result to establish further details regarding the singer's death.

Amid all the tributes pouring in for the 31-year-old star, BBC Radio 1 has reshared a letter Payne wrote to his ten-year-old self.

The letter, which was written in 2020, saw Payne say: "Get ready! It’s about to get a little bumpy.

“Cherish every moment with your loved ones right now, as there’s only a few more family holidays to enjoy, life is about to turn surreal.

“You know that thing you love, singing, keep it up, when you turn 14, something magical is going to happen, and I’m not talking about puberty.

“Not only will you audition for one of the biggest music shows in the world, but you’ll also meet the future mother (then-X Factor judge, Cheryl Tweedy, formerly known as Cole) of your child.

“I know it seems early, but just trust me, it’s all going to work out however it’s supposed to. I suggest you watch Back To The Future, it might help.

“You are now famous, and it feels like you’ve peaked way too early, you cocky little bugger, but you barely even started yet, take it down a notch, and remember, it’s a marathon, not a sprint."

He continued: "Let me tell you this isn’t even base camp, and for a while, you’ll feel like giving up, but don’t as you’re about to meet four of the guys on the same track as you.

“When you first meet them, it’s going to be chaos, but just remember to enjoy yourself, stay young at heart as that’s what this point in your life is all about.

“Forgive more and learn to listen; you’ll have the most amazing time of your life, travel the world and live a life you barely imagined.

“Then it will end for a while, and you will left with nothing but the steering wheel. It will feel scary, like you’re alone, but you are not.

“You’re about to start a total new journey with the most amazing person you met so far, your son Bear."

Payne concluded the emotional letter by telling his younger self he 'has a lot to give' and should be 'grateful', before adding: "The first single will skyrocket and you’ll never see it coming, you’ll stop with the self doubt and you’ll be fine.

"Give mum, dad, and all the family, a big hug from me."
