The beloved One Direction star’s untimely death has sent shockwaves through his fanbase after the 31-year-old fell from a third-floor balcony at his hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on Wednesday.
Following the tragedy, details of his last days have emerged, with the 2010 X Factor star utilising his extraordinary wealth for good by donating to various GoFundMe pages online.
In a series of Snapchat videos, a site Payne was posting on just hours before his de.ath, he shared how much he hated to see the little ones suffering.
Consequently, he gave thousands to their causes, explaining how son Bear, seven, inspired the act of kindness.
‘I’ve always felt really lucky to be in the position that I’m in and my life aspiration has been to be a superhero… but I can’t fly, I’m not a great mechanic, I wasn’t affected by radiation, and I’m not incredibly strong,’ he began.
‘All I know is there are websites out there for you to be able to donate to sick children that need your help.’
Encouraging fans to show compassion themselves, he continued: ‘It doesn’t matter how small the donation is, or how big the donation is.
‘All that matters is you look into that child’s eyes and you realise… as a father, it hits me slightly differently because I look at them and if that was my child, I would want everyone in the world to just look at me. Please, look at me and help me.
‘The last few nights, I’ve been spending some time on GoFundMe, a fantastic website. I’m not sure about the tip thing, though, guys, you need to work that out, because that’s not right; we should be giving the tips to the kids, man.
‘I’d like to understand more. If anyone from GoFundMe wants to get in touch with me to tell me how this works, I would love to know, but I’ve been going on night by night by night, trying to finish off people’s donations so that they can get the operations they need.’
Payne concluded: ‘It’s despicable that, in 2024, these kids are having to pay for these medical things that would be free in my country.’
