Just days before the tragic incident, Payne shared moments of happiness with his fans through social media, showcasing his time spent exploring and enjoying the country with girlfriend Kate Cassidy.
Liam Payne s social media posts before his death
On Instagram and Snapchat, Payne posted videos showing his excitement about being in Argentina. He hinted at reuniting with his former One Direction bandmate, Niall Horan, for a concert in Buenos Aires. In one video, Liam said, “I think we might just go and say hello It’s been a while since me and Niall have spoken. We’ve got a lot to talk about.”
These videos depicted Liam in high spirits, but also led to concerns from fans. His remarks about having things to discuss and his behaviour during the concert, including leaning over the balcony to interact with fans, sparked questions about his mental wellbeing.
In videos shared on both Liam Payne s and Kate Cassidy s social media accounts, the couple stayed in Argentina after attending Niall Horan s concert. Hours before his tragic fall, Payne posted a lighthearted video on Snapchat, where he shared a glimpse of their relaxed time abroad.
He greeted viewers with, “Morning everybody, a lovely day here in Argentina,” while enjoying a late breakfast. Cassidy humorously chimed in, “Literally, we sleep in every day until at least 12,” capturing a carefree moment between them.
Liam Payne hints at Bipolar diagnosis
In the weeks leading up to the tragic fall, Payne also opened up about his mental health in an emotional Instagram video. He revealed that he had recently been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, a struggle he had hinted at in earlier posts. “There s a lot of manic things in my life, which you guys saw,” he shared, followed by, but the other side of it—and that kind of feels like when I would lose my sobriety—would be within these moments that were super low, and I kind of felt like that today .
