The street of the Casa Sur hotel in Buenos Aires, where the One Direction star Liam Payne fell to his death, was quiet on Thursday morning. The curtains were mostly drawn, with an occasional guest peering down at the reporters below. On the tree outside, posters of a younger Payne were taped along with messages of gratitude and sorrow; underneath, candle wax melted on to the pavement.
“Liam. I’m missing half of me. Thank you for all of the sunshine, your smile, blazing every day,” read one message. “Thank you for all the music. You will always be in my heart,” read another.
