Liam first rose to fame after auditioning for the fifth series of the X Factor in 2008 when he was just 14 years old. He didn't make the live shows at the time but auditioned again in 2010 where he was put in One Direction. Liam has since sold millions of records both in and out of One Direction.
As it stands, Harry, Niall, Louis and Zayn are yet to publicly comment on Liam's death. Fans have urged others to give them time and space to speak if and when they feel ready to.
Our thoughts go out to the band and Liam's friends and family at this time.
