Liam's funeral took place in Amersham in Buckinghamshire, north-west of London in November. The late singer's bandmates Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan and Zayn Malik, who were part of the band One Direction, were present at the funeral.

The singer-songwriter died after falling from the third floor of his hotel. Liam's death was ruled a result of multiple injuries from a fall, with a preliminary toxicology report revealing the presence of substances. Liam had gone to South America to support Niall, who was touring to promote his third studio album, The Show.
