Liam James Payne (born 29 August 1993) is an English singer and songwriter.
He rose to fame as a member of the boy band One Direction.
Payne made his debut as a singer when he auditioned for the British television series The X Factor in 2008. After being eliminated as a solo performer, he auditioned again in 2010 and was put into a group with four other contestants to form One Direction
Liam Payne has been sticking to lockdown rules like the rest of the UK. But ahead of his BAFTAs performance this weekend, the One Direction star, 27, was seen heading out for rehearsals, sporting a rugged new look.
Liam was seen waiting to rehearse in a white muscle Tee, with long shaggy hair and a beard. The singer seemed pensive as he strolled around the set, his tattooed arms folded.
