Liam Payne’s ‘extraordinary’ X Factor audition is going viral again in wake of the singer’s shock death.
It was reported that the One Direction alum, 31, had died Wednesday after falling off a three-story balcony at a hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It’s unknown whether the fall was intentional or accidental.
Fans flocked to YouTube to watch Payne’s first-ever audition on the UK talent competition show in 2008, when he was just 14-years-old.
He performed an impressive rendition of Frank Sinatra’s hit Fly Me To The Moon for judges Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh and his future ex-girlfriend Cheryl Cole.
Although he made it to Judges’ Houses round, Payne was sent home shortly after.
He was encouraged to try out again in two years by judge Cowell, which is when he’d finally achieve global superstardom in the boy band One Direction.
