Liam Payne’s former One Direction bandmates were amongst the mourners at his funeral Wednesday in England’s Home Counties.
Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson all came together for the first time in nearly nine years to pay their respects to the late singer.
The former boy band members joined Payne’s closest friends and family outside of London as he was laid to rest one month after his fatal fall.
Styles was the first to arrive as he was photographed with his head down while surrounded by other mourners. Shortly after, Tomlinson also made his way in while Malik and Horan were seen moments later.
The four remaining members of One Direction arrived separately and wore sunglasses to pay their respects.
Although the foursome were not seen interacting before entering the church, Tomlinson and Malik spoke outside.
His autopsy report showed he had traces of cocaine, alcohol and prescription medication in his system at the time of the fall.
One of his friends, a hotel employee and an alleged drug dealer have all since been charged in connection to his death
The friend — alleged to be his manager — was charged with abandonment for allegedly failing to inform the late singer’s family that he had suffered a drug relapse, La Nación reported. He faces five to 15 years in prison, per the outlet.
The CasaSur Palermo hotel employee and alleged drug dealer reportedly supplied Payne with narcotics — which the hospitality worker denied.
