Liam Payne's funeral 'to feature tributes from music A-listers'

Liam Payne's funeral is expected to include tributes from various celebrity pals, as per the latest. It's expected that the former One Direction star's remains will be repatriated this week.

The 31-year-old, who sadly passed away after a tragic incident in Argentina, will have his body released to his father Geoff, who promptly travelled to Argentina following his son's death.

Once repatriated, a funeral service is anticipated to take place in Liam's hometown of Wolverhampton. An array of celebrities are reportedly arranging to attend to honour the singer and father.

Initiating speculation, some sources have suggested that musical homage might feature at the service, aligning with Liam passion for song and music. Tragically, Liam died after a fall from his hotel room balcony at the CasaSur Palermo in Buenos Aires, sustaining 'multiple traumas' that led to an instantaneous death on October 16, , reports Birmingham Live.

A source conveyed to RadarOnline.com: "Liam's funeral is going to be packed with A-listers as he was so well-loved in the showbiz community, and so many of them are so sad about his tragic death. His family want to keep his farewell low-key and respectful, as it's what Liam would have wanted as he was so down to earth."

Concluding the statement, the source added: "But there are going to be a series of song tributes from some very big acts as he loved singing and making music until the end."

As reported by local newspaper La Nacion, judicial sources have confirmed that the process to return him to the UK has started. Liam, who shares a son named Bear with Girls Aloud's Cheryl Cole, was in Buenos Aires with his girlfriend Kate Cassidy prior to his passing.

The couple had attended a concert of Niall Horan, a fellow One Direction member, in the city just weeks before.
