One Direction star Liam Payne passed away on October 16, 2024 in Argentina, shortly after filming for his last project.
Liam makes his final appearance on Netflix’s series Building the Bands as a guest judge.
The show was released after Liam’s family gave permission for it to be released.
First four episodes premiered on July 9 and rest will release weekly with final being on July 23, which is also One Direction’s 15th anniversary.
The show is hosted by another boyband fame star, Backstreet Boys’ AJ McLean and Liam will star as a judge alongside Nicole Scherzinger and Kelly Rowland.
At the beginning of the first episode, AJ pays a tribute to Liam saying “When we came together to film building the band we never imagined we’d soon be saying goodbye to our friend Liam Payne”.
Fans were quick to share their responses to the show on social media.
“5 seconds in and I’m already sobbing. The tribute to Liam”, a teary fan wrote on X.
Another wrote “I don't think i'm mentally prepared for this”.
