Liam Payne's funeral date set for this week as family in guest list dispute

ok.co.uk:

Liam Payne's family is preparing for a private funeral in his hometown of Wolverhampton, following the repatriation of his body from Argentina.The 31 year old sadly died after falling from the balcony of his hotel room on the third floor in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

He suffered multiple injuries that led to "internal and external bleeding" and ultimately his death. Due to Liam's celebrity status, attendance is strictly limited to close friends and family, with his manager Roger expected to be notably absent from the guest list.This comes amid ongoing investigations into Roger's potential involvement in Liam's death, as he was present at the Casa Sur hotel in Buenos Aires shortly before the tragedy.

A source told The Sun: "Liam's family want his funeral to go off without a hitch and right now opinions are strained when it comes to Roger.

It's true he and Liam had a bond but he's never been popular when it comes to Liam's wider circle." The relationship between Liam and Roger was complex, with both business and personal aspects, and the two had previously had a falling out.Although they appeared to have reconciled before Liam's trip to Latin America, those close to the singer were reportedly unaware of their reconnection. "There is a difference in the narrative, Roger would say he stepped back from working with Liam - others would say he was pushed," the source said.
