The British singer passed away on October 16 while vacationing in Argentina, tragically falling from the balcony of a third-floor hotel room in Buenos Aires. Liam’s untimely death shocked his family, friends, and colleagues. American musician Sam Pounds paid tribute to Liam, revealing they had collaborated shortly before his passing.
Sam shared a video of their studio session where they were recording a track called “Do No More.” He stated, “I see all these messages about you, but I knew your heart. Liam wanted Chris Brown and me to be part of this track. It’s a musical moment and a tribute to Liam.” Sam promised to finish the last song for his late friend and release it this week, including the original recording along with a concert mix and an a cappella version. An unknown video of Liam performing his unreleased track brought fans to tears.
Comments flooded in from fans: “Chills. Thoughts and prayers for Liam and his family,” “Thank you for sharing this, Sam. It heals our hearts,” “This is incredible. I can’t believe Liam is gone… He loved making music. You can see his pride. We will miss him,” “My heart breaks over and over. I wanted his album to come out; he was the best and always will be,” “Tears in my eyes. Everything feels unreal. I miss him,” “I pray this becomes the blessing for the world Liam dreamed of. I pray the angels comfort you every day as you listen to this song.”
Liam’s song “Teardrops,” which reflects his personal struggles, re-entered the charts after his death, reaching number seven. He rose to fame in 2010 on The X Factor as a member of One Direction, alongside Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, and Harry Styles. The boy band finished third on the show and became immensely popular.
Liam struggled with alcohol and drug addictions for years, having nearly overdosed twice. Toxicology reports indicated a dangerous mix of substances in his system. Argentine media reported that police have surveillance footage confirming Liam fell from the balcony after losing consciousness.
