The songwriter behind Liam Payne's Live Forever has revealed the track was written about a tragic fall from a hotel balcony.
The Ordinary Boys frontman Samuel Preston, 44, wrote the song about his own brush with death when he took a tumble from the second floor of a hotel in Denmark in 2017 after consuming too much Champagne and he gave the song to Liam, who went on to release it in 2019 - five years before the One Direction star plunged to his death from a hotel balcony in Argentina in 2024.
