The former bandmates are expected at the intimate ceremony One Direction Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson And Zayn Malikwho had already expressed all their pain via social media for the singer’s premature and dramatic death.
His girlfriend will also be present Kate Cassidy And Simon Cowellproducer and former Xfactor juror who created the One Direction collective within the music contest.
Liam’s family instead made it known that the manager was present Rogelio “Roger” Nores it is not welcome. Nores is currently among those under investigation in Argentina, accused of ”abandonment of person” and complicity in the supply of drugs. The manager and the former One Direction star not only had a working relationship but also a personal one. The pair had an argument but reconnected before Liam’s trip to Latin America with his girlfriend. Kate and Liam stayed for the first few days of their stay at Rogelio’s house. He denied any connection to Liam’s death. He told Argentine media: “I never abandoned Liam, I went to his hotel 3 times that day and left 40 minutes before this happened. There were more than 15 people in the hotel lobby chatting and joking with him when I left. I could never have done it.” He added: “I testified to the prosecutor on October 17 and have not spoken to any police officer or prosecutor since.”
Meanwhile, investigations continue in Buenos Aires where Liam died last October 16th after falling from the third floor of the hotel where he was staying in the Argentine capital. According to the judiciary, Rogelio would be responsible for abandoning his friend to his fate, already visibly impaired by the consumption of narcotic substances. Rogelio is one of three people the Argentine police are investigating and who may have indirectly contributed to the tragedy. In addition to the entrepreneur, investigators are also focusing their attention on the role played by the hotel employee, the 24-year-old waiter Braian Nahuel Paiz, who acted as an intermediary with both prostitutes and the pusher. In the last few hours, new searches would also have been carried out, both in the hotel and in the properties of Nores, the hotel employee and the two escorts.
The funeral of the late British artist is taking place a month after his death because the Argentine judiciary did not immediately hand over his body, which was held in order to carry out the necessary toxicological tests. After obtaining the analysis data, the body was returned to the family.
Since the early hours of the day, fans of the late musician showed up in Wolverhampton to pay their respects. The funeral church had already been full of floral tributes and messages from fans for days.
