In Pics: One Direction stars attend Liam Payne's funeral; fans call it 'saddest reunion'

Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan, and Louis Tomlinson, members of the boy band One Direction came together in grief on Wednesday to attend the funeral of their bandmate, Liam Payne, who tragically passed away last month at the age of 31.
The star joined Payne’s grieving family and close friends for the private service held at a church in Amersham, Buckinghamshire. The emotional reunion marked the first time the group had been seen together in years, albeit under heartbreaking circumstances.
Photos from the funeral soon went viral online, with fans expressing their heartbreak over watching bandmates Harry and Louis seemingly breaking down as they made their way into the church for the final rites. All four bandmates suited up in black suits and black ties for the ceremony.

Fans of the band, who once dominated global music charts, expressed their emotions on social media, calling the gathering a “saddest reunion.”

Liam Payne died on October 16 following a tragic fall from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires after falling from his third-floor balcony at the Casa Sur Hotel in the Argentinian capital.
In a short statement following his death, Payne’s family said: “We are heartbroken. Liam will forever live in our hearts and we’ll remember him for his kind, funny and brave soul.”
One Direction said they had been “completely devastated” by his death.
