Liam Payne‘s heartbreaking final words about his son, Bear, have resurfaced following the singer’s shock death at age 31.

The former One Direction member reportedly fell from the third floor of CasaSur Palmero Hotel in Buenos Aires shortly after 5pm on Wednesday evening.

Investigations into his passing are still ongoing, and city ambulance service provider spokesman, Alberto Crescenti, stated Payne had suffered ‘severe injuries which were incompatible with life.’

Liam welcomed his seven-year-old son, Bear Grey, with Cheryl Cole in March 2017 – and earlier this year in August, made rare comments about his ‘mini me’ son while celebrating his 31st birthday.

In an Instagram video uploaded at the time, the late star told his followers, ‘I didn’t get any dad socks yet though. I’m going to speak to my son in a little bit which I’m really excited about.

‘Bless him. He’s getting so big now. He’s a big boy and he looks like a mini me. As if we needed any more me in the world.’

In 2016, he began dating Cheryl Cole after her divorce from Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini and their son was born the following year. However, in 2018, the pair split.

After a brief relationship with supermodel, Naomi Campbell, the singer began dating Maya Henry in 2019 – and became engaged the next year. In 2022, the former couple officially went their separate ways.

Just days before Liam’s death, Henry had begun to take legal action against him after accusing the One Direction star of obsessive contact and ‘weaponizing’ his fans against her.

But not long after his passing, Maya broke her silence – with her representative telling DailyMail.com: ‘Right now she is obviously in shock.’

Up until his death, Payne had been in a relationship with Kate Cassidy, whom he started dating in October 2022.

Both Liam and his ex, Cheryl, have mainly kept their son out of the public eye but he has made other previous comments on Bear in the past.

During an interview with People in 2022, the For You singer sweetly gushed that his son looks at him like ‘a superhero.’

‘I see him two times a week, three times a week sometimes. And I make sure when I see him, he has 100 percent of my time. I make sure that I’m not on my phone or dicking around somewhere else.’

Payne added at the time, ‘So, I like to give him those moments and it’s important, he needs that in his life.’

‘He needs his dad in his life, and I’m happy he looks at me like a superhero, and I’m hoping to keep it that way.’

Liam reportedly fell from a hotel in Buenos, Argentina on Wednesday around 5pm (ART).

Alberto Crescenti, a city ambulance service provider spokesman, stated that Payne had fallen 40 meters and suffered ‘severe injuries which were incompatible with life.’

‘The alarm was raised at 5:04pm local time saying a person was lying in an internal patio at Casa Sur. At 5:11pm an ambulance arrived and the man was certified dead.’

Crescenti added, ‘Afterwards we found out he had been a famous singer. Unfortunately the injuries he had suffered as a result of the fall proved to be fatal. There was no possibility of resuscitating him.’

Earlier this month, Liam had recently watched his former bandmate, Niall Horan’s, concert in Argentina.

Payne’s final Snapchat posts have also been revealed not long after his tragic death which showed him posing with his girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, only minutes before ‘falling off a balcony.’

One image showed both Liam and Kate pausing for a mirror selfie together as well as another post where he looked into the camera and typed, ‘Lovely day in Argentina.’

He shared an additional photo as he stood close next to Cassidy, which was captioned as ‘Quality time.’

Liam included a picture of an outdoor patio and penned, ‘Happy I got some time away,’ and he shared another where he revealed he was debating about being Forrest Gump for Halloween.

Payne also uploaded a photo of food both he and Kate enjoyed and wrote, ‘We’ve been waking up at 1pm everyday.’

In 2008, Liam kickstarted his music career after auditioning on The X Factor when he was just 14-years-old in front of judges Simon Cowell, Cheryl Cole, Louis Walsh and Dannii Minogue.

He was cut from the competition series but returned in 2010, and joined Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson to form the boy band, One Direction.

The group won third place on The X Factor and went on to become a global sensation, with hits such as What Makes You Beautiful and Live While We’re Young.

The band released five studio albums, including Up All Night (2011), Midnight Memories (2013) and Made In The A.M. (2015) following Malik’s departure from the group.

In 2016, One Direction went on an infinite hiatus.

As a solo artist, Payne dropped singles such as For You with Rita Ora for the Fifty Shades Freed soundtrack.

Over the years, Liam has also battled with health struggles as well as alcoholism and suicidal thoughts.

In 2021, while on the Diary Of A CEO podcast, he opened up about suffering from depression and substance abuse during his time with One Direction.

‘I was worried how far my rock bottom was going to be. Where’s rock bottom for me? And you would never have seen it. I’m very good at hiding it. No one would ever have seen it.’

When host questioned if Liam’s dark thoughts included ‘suicidal ideation,’ the singer said ‘Yes.’

‘Yeah. There is some stuff that I have definitely never, never spoken about. It was really, really, really severe. It was a problem. And it was only until I saw myself after that I was like, “Right, I need to fix myself.”‘

Payne recalled seeing photos of himself looking ‘bloated’ which he labeled as his ‘pills-and-booze face.’

‘My face was just, like, 10 times more than it is now. I just didn’t like myself very much, and then I made a change.’

Last year in August, Payne was hospitalized with a severe kidney infection while on a trip to Lake Como in Italy.

The illness prompted him to cancel his South American tour to give him time to recover and shared the news to social media at the time.

‘It’s with a heavy heart I have to tell you that we have no other choice but to postpone my upcoming tour of South America.’

He added, ‘Over the past week I’ve been in hospital with a serious kidney infection, it’s something I wouldn’t wish on anyone, and doctors orders are that I now need to rest and recover.’

‘I was beyond excited to come play for you guys. To all of you who have bought tickets: I’m so sorry.’

Following the hospitalization, his concerned friends told The Sun that Payne had ‘struggled’ to cope following his years with One Direction.

‘It doesn’t come as a huge surprise – his lifestyle has been on a bit of a downward spiral for a while,’ a pal told the outlet.

‘Liam struggled so much in the band due to the heavy workload and being in the spotlight.’

‘He was just a normal lad before One Direction, so living life in this bubble felt alien to him and the restrictions really took their toll,’ the source continued.

‘His partying since the band’s break could well be a reaction to this.’
