Liam Payne’s memory is set to be immortalised forever in his home city.
A collection of “loving tributes” will be showcased at a permanent display at Wolverhampton’s City Archives, which holds vast collections including maps, books, census returns and newspapers from the area. The life of the late One Direction singer, born in Wolverhampton, will be celebrated in an exhibition there, which is understood to remain indefinitely.
Plans are reportedly in motion for this memorial, which will feature some of the hundreds of tributes left in the city by fans and locals following Liam’s death. Thursday marked the one-year anniversary of the tragedy and saw fans gather in West Park in the city to lay further tributes to the former The X-Factor star.
Previous tributes, left in the wake of the passing in late 2024, were sent off to be restored. A spokesperson for City of Wolverhampton Council told The Sun yesterday: “We are currently waiting for the materials to be returned from our restorer, and then we will need to have discussions with Liam’s family as to how they would wish to proceed.”

Bosses at City of Wolverhampton Council, controlled by Labour since 2011, are now expected to talk with Liam’s family about a suitable tribute to their son, who grew up around the Newbridge area of the city.
A City of Wolverhampton Council spokesperson previously told The Sun: “Following Liam’s tragic passing, hundreds if not thousands of tributes were left for him by fans at a memorial in the city.
“After his funeral, we respectfully collected and preserved these items which have since been shared with Liam’s family at their request.
“When the time is right for them, we plan to host a display of some of the items at the City Archives so fans and visitors to Wolverhampton can see for themselves some of the loving tributes left for Liam who is one of our city’s greatest stars.”
Among the fans who gathered around the bandstand at West Park on Thursday, an Italian woman called Carmen left flowers in Liam’s memory. She said: “He meant a lot of things to me. I still listen to his songs. He helped me through sad moments.”
Speaking to Hits Radio News: West Midlands, another fan named Sarah added: “Liam is a Black Country boy and that is where it hits me hard.
Ace Frehley of the band KISS has died, his family have announced.
The devastating news comes after the band’s original guitarist was placed on life support after suffering a bleed on the brain following a fall in his studio several weeks ago, which led to the cancellation of his upcoming tour dates.
His family said: “We are completely devastated and heartbroken. In his last moments, we were fortunate enough to have been able to surround him with loving, caring, peaceful words, thoughts, prayers and intentions as he left this earth. We cherish all of his finest memories, his laughter, and celebrate his strengths and kindness that he bestowed upon others.
“The magnitude of his passing is of epic proportions, and beyond comprehension. Reflecting on all of his incredible life achievements, Ace’s memory will continue to live on forever!”

After his fall and the subsequent cancellation of his tour, a statement posted on his official Instagram page on 25 September reassured fans: “He is fine, but against his wishes, his doctor insists that he refrain from travel at this time.”
However, a week later, another statement was released: “Due to some ongoing medical issues, Ace has made the difficult decision to cancel the remainder of his 2025 dates.”
Frehley was a founding member of KISS alongside Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley and Peter Criss. He played guitar for the band from 1973 to 1982 before leaving due to creative differences and struggles with substance abuse.
After departing KISS, Frehley embarked on a solo career, forming the band Frehley’s Comet, which performed together from 1984 to 1988. He rejoined KISS for their 1996 reunion tour, the Alive/Worldwide Tour, and stayed with them until 2002.

Liam Payne’s sister Nicola has shared a heartbreaking tribute to the singer a year on from his tragic death. The One Direction star died last year following a fall from the third floor of a hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina aged 31.
A year on, his family have been sharing devastating messages. Now, his sister Nicola has said today “marks a date I never wanted to see again.”
In an emotional message shared on Instagram, Liam’s sister shared: “A year ago today marks a date I never wanted to see again. The day our lives changed forever and our hearts were left broken, with pieces missing. That night, unaware of what you were going through, that you were alone.

“Me and Ffion watching Dinosaur on the TV and me saying to her, Next time we see Uncle Liam, he’ll be able to tell you all the dinosaurs, as he loves them. I didn’t know that as those words left my lips, and the pictures I took of the dinosaur to show you, that still sit on my phone today, that there wouldn’t be a next time.
“There wouldn’t be that chance to do something so normal to everyone else. It would never happen for us. The next thing finding out you had gone. Without a moment to comprehend, we found out with the world, praying the world had got it wrong until hours passed and it was confirmed.
“We didn’t get to say goodbye, we didn’t know all of the lasts had already happened. We sit and listen to the world’s view, a view of what we should be doing, what they think they know, and like a lot of your life, it just doesn’t seem fair. We have only received a minuscule amount of the ridicule you received in life and in death and, it’s been unbearable.”
She continued: “Over the past twelve months, you’ve never left my thoughts. We retell stories to bring you closer. I apologise and I thank you all the time for everything you have done for us and all that you allowed us to see. Those memories will be cherished forever.

“I continue to acknowledge you every day, as though you are still here with us. I talk about you with Ffion and include you in everything we do, searching the sky for the brightest star, because that’s Uncle Liam. Calming the rain before we walk to school, because that’s Uncle Liam.
“Seeing a rainbow, a butterfly, a cloud, because that’s Uncle Liam. Accidentally losing a balloon that floats gently towards the sky, knowing that means Uncle Liam has joined the celebration. But with these moments comes a pain, a pain that will never heal. There is always something, someone, missing, and I know that will remain for as long as I live.
“We will continue to talk about you always, so the kids know the precious, kind, outstanding, so utterly talented, one of a kind uncle they have. We will ensure Bear knows everything about the amazing daddy he has, not just your achievements and success over the years, but all of the things that made you you.
“The little jokes you used to tell as a kid, the things we’ve laughed about over the years, the little pranks, your thoughtfulness, how you cared, your laugh, your wish for everyone to succeed. You always loved to be our cheerleader, and the plans you had, so many plans.
“My hopes and dreams for you are still the same. That you are happy, that you know how loved you are, that you are at peace, that you have friends up above, people you can chat to, people you can be you with, that funny, loving person you are.
Liam’s family have shared heartbreaking tributes
“I hope you still light up the spaces you enter, that your laughter brightens people’s mood, that our nans and grandads are getting you to perform whenever they get a chance, and that crowds appear to listen to the boy that sings and smiles like he was born to do. But now, I also hope that you are able to watch over us from the best seat in the house.
“Sometimes I find comfort in believing you can see the things I want to share with you, but other times it breaks my heart that we can no longer hear about your life or tell you about ours.
“I also hope that you are proud of us, and that if you are, you continue to feel proud. We really are trying here, but sometimes it’s just so damn hard. I don’t want you to be a picture on my shelf or a video on my phone. I want you here with us, where you should be.”
Nicola ended: “I love you, Liam. I will never not miss you, and will forever be so proud of you.” Liam’s sister Ruth also shared her own message to her little brother as she said she has been “paralysed” by the grief.
Liam had flown to Argentina for a five-day holiday with girlfriend Kate Cassidy to see his ex-bandmate Niall Horan’s show. Their trip got extended to two weeks, with Kate later flying back to Miami days before his death.
Liam’s blood showed traces of alcohol, cocaine and prescription anti-depressants, which would have left him severely impaired. Two suspects have been charged with supplying drugs, and both deny the allegations.

Celebrities are paying tribute to Liam Payne on the first anniversary of the singer’s tragic death. The star, best known for being one of the five former members of One Direction, died on October 16 2024, aged 31, after falling from a third-floor balcony at a hotel in Argentina.
A post-mortem examination report said Payne died of multiple traumas and “internal and external haemorrhage” after falling from a balcony of the Casa Sur Hotel in Buenos Aires. Liam’s older sister, Ruth, has also shared a tear-jerking tribute to the singer, revealing she has been left “paralysed with grief.”
In her long letter to her brother, Ruth went on to say that Liam’s death will never “make sense” to her. She went on to say she is frequently having the same nightmare – being in Liam’s hotel room, just moments before he fell to his death.
Taking to Instagram Stories, Anne Twist, the mother of Liam’s former bandmate, Harry Styles, shared All On The Board’s touching tribute, reading: “Rest in peace, Liam Payne. We are shocked and lost for words. It’s a tragedy that you have passed away so young; you will be forever loved, always missed and never forgotten.

“You will live on in all the songs you sung. May heaven be a paradise for you where you’re safe and nothing can hurt you, may you feel the love from earth in your new home there; sending so much love to those who loved you, your family, your friends, your One Direction brothers and the directioners. And so much love to your son Bear.”
Liam’s former One Direction hair stylist, Lou Teasdale, shared a picture of the five lads packed inside the back of a bread van while on their stadium tour in South America. The chart-mauling band hid inside the van in order to escape the stadium unnoticed, without thousands of fans following them.
Zayn Malik’s sister, Waliyha, said on X, formerly known as Twitter: “Today is exactly one year since you are no longer with us, we continue with the routine, but it is difficult to forget you from one day to the next. You will always be in our thoughts, Liam. We will love you and miss you for life.”
1D’s former security guard, Paul Higgins, also shared a very moving tribute, alongside a collection of images of Liam taken over the years. Paul penned: “October 2023, exactly one year to the day before you left us!
“We took a road trip around Ireland, a simple journey with good friends… yet it became something more!! A week of love, hope and prayer. We were back on the road again…not knowing how precious these moments would become forever!
“Love and miss you always brother! A gentle, special soul! Rest easy.” Elsewhere, One Direction’s drummer, Josh Devine, shared a snap of himself and Liam taken at a rehearsal studio, alongside: “One whole year,” with a broken heart emoji.
Former Union J singer, Josh Cuthbert also shared a snap of Liam, alongside the caption: “1 year ago the world lost Liam Payne, it must not be forgotten. The music industry as a whole let him down MASSIVELY. It let me down on countless occasions, and I feel grateful for still being here. It was nearly a different story, and there were plenty of times I didn’t want to be here anymore; the music industry played a huge part in that situation, too.
“But unfortunately not everyone can get through it, just look at how many young lives we have lost to mental health… Not just in the music industry but as a whole. Mental health continues to destroy so many young lives. Which is why we need to continue spreading awareness and speak about these difficult topics.
“It HAS to stop and we all can play our part. Speak to people you think are suffering, offer support, offer a safe space for them to open up. Making that someone feel less lonely is a HUGE first step to getting better. Let’s continue to speak about this, so we have less great people, like Liam, leaving us far too soon.”
Earlier this month, Louis Tomlinson revealed Niall Horan informed him about the death of the pair’s former One Direction bandmate Payne, saying “we all looked up to him”.
The 33-year-old said Payne had been pushing for a reunion of the band, which also included Harry Styles and Zayn Malik. Speaking to host Steven Bartlett on The Diary Of A CEO podcast, Tomlinson said he was in Los Angeles when he first heard of Payne’s death.
“In the car, in LA. I found out through Niall,” he said, telling Bartlett the news evoked a similar reaction to when his sister Felicite died of an accidental drug overdose in 2019.
“I had the same feeling that I had with Felicite, and I think anyone has this when they’re around someone who’s struggling; my 150 per cent wasn’t nearly enough. And that’s when it’s my own arrogance thinking that I could have helped really, because it was so much deeper than what I could have done for him. He was definitely struggling at that time in his life.”
Tomlinson also revealed that Payne had been campaigning for a One Direction reunion, but he said it would not feel “right”. “Never say never… but I’m just not sure it would be right to (Payne),” Tomlinson said.
“Say for the sake of argument, 25 years’ time, it’s like a f****** Oasis thing, they offer us an arm and a leg, and they’re like, ‘Come back and do this many shows’, I don’t know. (Payne’s death) just completely put a pin in all of that. And the irony is, there was no one campaigning for One Direction to get back more than Liam. I would say I came in a close second.”
A court in Argentina dropped charges in February of criminal negligence against three out of the five people who had been charged in connection with Payne’s death.

At the BRIT Awards in March he was remembered with a video montage which showed him with his family and a clip from his time on The X Factor and then with One Direction, who won seven gongs at the music awards before they split up.
Ace Frehley, the original lead guitarist for KISS, is reportedly on life support in hospital following a brain bleed. The 74 year old rock legend, also known as The Spaceman, suffered the injury after a fall in his studio a few weeks ago, leading to the cancellation of his upcoming tour dates.
Despite being on a ventilator for some time, his health has not improved. While there are rumours circulating on social media that he has died, TMZ reports that as of Thursday afternoon, he remains on the ventilator.
After his fall and the subsequent cancellation of his tour, a statement posted on his official Instagram page on 25 September reassured fans: “He is fine, but against his wishes, his doctor insists that he refrain from travel at this time.”

However, a week later, another statement was released: “Due to some ongoing medical issues, Ace has made the difficult decision to cancel the remainder of his 2025 dates.”, reports the Mirror US.
Frehley was a founding member of KISS alongside Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley and Peter Criss. He played guitar for the band from 1973 to 1982 before leaving due to creative differences and struggles with substance abuse.
After departing KISS, Frehley embarked on a solo career, forming the band Frehley’s Comet, which performed together from 1984 to 1988. He rejoined KISS for their 1996 reunion tour, the Alive/Worldwide Tour, and stayed with them until 2002.
Last week, it was revealed Gene was rushed to hospital following a car crash. He was taken to a Malibu hospital after fainting at the wheel and crashing his car into a parked vehicle.
Gene, 76, crashed his Lincoln Navigator into a parked car whilst driving along the Pacific Coast Highway after passing out. He was taken to hospital but has now been released and it recuperating at home, according to his wife, Shannon Tweed.
Shannon, 68, told press that Gene is doing fine as she explained that her husband’s car had careened across a few lanes of traffic during the accident. She added that Gene’s doctor had recently changed his medication and needed to drink more water as a result.
Shannon said the rockstar is not particularly fond of drinking water. Two years ago, Gene suffered dehydration during a KISS concert in Brazil as he became ill on stage, which forced the concert to be paused.
He took to X to assure fans he was okay and in a message he said: “‘Hey everybody, thanks for the good wishes. I’m fine. Yesterday at Manaus Stadium in Brazil, experienced weakness because of dehydration.
“We stopped for about five minutes, I drank some water, and then all was well. Nothing serious. Tomorrow, Bogota Stadium. See you there!”
Gene later said: “Ok, kids. Not a big deal. Thanks for your kind wishes. Last night we played Amazon jungle Stadium/Brazil. Humidity and temperature were sky high. I was dehydrated and was forced to sit for a song. We got back on stage in 5 minutes & finished the show.”
