It is worth noting here that Payne had been quite vocal about his struggle with alcoholism. Last year in July, he posted a video on his YouTube channel, informing his fans that he had been sober for six months at that point, after receiving treatment.
The untimely demise of the former boy band member has sent shockwaves across the music industry and many turned to social media platforms, to express their grief and share their condolences to the grieving family.
Payne is survived by his parents, Geoff and Karen Payne, as well as two older sisters, Ruth and Nicola. He also had a son named Bear, with his former partner, British singer and TV personality, Cheryl.
