More details have been revealed about the final few hours before Liam Payne’s sudden death in Argentina.
It has been revealed that former Pussycat Dolls member Nicole Scherzinger texted the British pop star just hours before his death.
This was revealed by legendary Broadway composer Andrew Lloyd Webber.
“I suppose something that hasn’t been said, and I suppose I can say, is that of course she mentored Liam, from One Direction,” Lloyd Webber said of Scherzinger to Billboard.
“On the Wednesday when he passed away, she was still texting him that day,” the composer revealed.
Lloyd Webber further shared that Scherzinger still showed up to perform on “Sunset BLVD” just hours after learning about Payne’s death. The composer wrote music for the work.
“She had just heard that he had passed away, and the fact that she even attended the show was extraordinary,” he said. “I mean, she’s a wonderful, wonderful woman.”
As many One Direction fans know, Scherzinger met Payne when he was a contestant on “The X Factor UK” while she was a judge.
In a behind-the-scenes clip shared from the show, it was finally revealed that it was Scherzinger who had the idea of bringing Payne, Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik, Harry Styles and Niall Horan into a group.
