Liam Payne fans heartbroken over special family member who won't know what's happened

Former One Direction star Liam Payne often shared snippets of his life with his beloved dog Stan on social media before his tragic death at the age of 31

Liam Payne's fans can't stop thinking about his beloved dog Stan following the One Direction star's tragic passing.

Singer Liam died instantly after falling from his third-floor hotel room onto a patio below on Wednesday in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Liam had been in the country with his girlfriend, Kate Cassidy for a number of days, and the pair had attended a concert of Liam's friend and former One Direction bandmate, Niall Horan.

Tributes have been pouring in for the late dad-of-one from fans and famous friends across the globe as the world reacts to the shock news. In the latest heartbreaking impact of Liam's death, his devoted and devastated fans have now shared their concern for Liam's beloved dog, who he named Stan.

The Strip That Down singer often shared wholesome photos of his beloved pet pooch on social media, and stated that Stan brought him immense joy in his life. Following Liam's tragic passing, his fans are now praying for his dog. Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, dozens of Liam's fans have said their thoughts are not only with Liam's family and friends - but also his dog - who must be 'so confused'.

"I just can't stop thinking about Liam's little dog. He will never see him again. He's probably waiting for him to come home. It absolutely breaks my heart. None of this is fair," one of Liam's fans wrote. Another echoed: "So sad for baby Stan. The two of them were such a duo. I can't believe any of this to be honest."

"It seemed like Liam and his dog were inseparable. My heart breaks for that poor little dog. He's going to miss his dad so much," someone else added. A fourth fan added: "I really hope someone takes good care of Stan."

In the hours before his death, Liam reportedly posted a video on Snapchat saying: "It’s a lovely day here in Argentina." The singer, who shared 7-year-old son Bear with ex Cheryl Cole, had been in the country with girlfriend Kate Cassidy but she wasn't in Argentina on the day of his death.

Liam formed boy band One Direction in 2010, alongside Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan and Harry Styles, after they individually auditioned for The X Factor. After becoming one of the biggest pop groups in the world, with five albums and four world tours, they went on indefinite hiatus in 2016.

The remaining members of One Direction united to share an emotional joint statement on Thursday night, with Louis Tomlinson later sharing an emotional promise for Liam's seven-year-old son, Bear, in a personal tribute. Niall Horan, who met up with Liam in Argentina recently, shared details of his final hug with his late bandmate on Friday morning.

Over the weekend, his ex-girlfriend Danielle Peazer also took to her social media to reveal the final message he sent her weeks before his death. Meanwhile, Liam's father is determined to stay by his side while waiting to bring his body back home to his heartbroken family.
