Born in Wolverhampton, England, in 1993, Payne was just 16 years old when he became part of One Direction, a boyband formed on the British reality show The X Factor in 2010.
The group – Payne, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson – went on to become one of the biggest boybands of all time. Here’s a look back at Payne’s key moments in One Direction, who went on indefinite hiatus in 2016
