Anne Twist spent a lot of time with Payne through the years after her son Styles shot to fame with him on The X-Factor UK in 2010, reports People magazine. After auditioning by himself, the judges teamed Payne up with fellow solo contestants Styles, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson to form One Direction, and they ended up skyrocketing to superstardom despite coming third in the show.

Multiple X-Factor stars also paid tribute to Payne on social media, with host Dermot O’Leary sharing a black and white photo from their time on the show on Instagram, alongside the caption, “The worst news. I remember him as a 14 year old turning up to audition on The X Factor, and blowing us away singing Sinatra. He just loved to sing. He was always a joy, had time for everyone, polite, grateful, and was always humble. Sending love and prayers to his family.” Liam Payne Dies at 31: Simon Cowell Cancels ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ Auditions After Hearing News of Former One Direction Star’s Tragic Passing.
