The duo added in a follow-up tweet: "Sending strength to Cheryl and his son Bear and all the One direction Family. RIP @LiamPayne."

Charlie Puth took to Instagram, saying: "I am in shock right now. Liam was always so kind to me. He was one of the first major artists I got to work with. I can not believe he is gone..."

Music producer Zedd, who released single 'Get Low' with Payne in 2017, said the news was 'absolutely heartbreaking'.

"RIP Liam… I can’t believe this is real…" he said.

And now, Harry Styles' mum Anne Twist has also shared a tribute.

Taking to Instagram in the early hours of the morning, Twist posted a photo of a black background with a broken heart emoji.

She captioned the post: "Just a boy..."

Sky correspondent Daniel Henry has since shared some more of the details surrounding Payne's death.

He said: "All of these details - very, very distressing for the family and friends of Liam Payne, who will be waking up this morning in disbelief that someone that they loved now is no longer with us.

"The autopsy obviously has not been completed yet, so at this stage, we don't know what, if anything, was in his system.

"But as I say, the key thing here, just this loss of life; 31 years old, such a young age, and someone who is a father, leaving behind a young son."
