Liam Payne's upcoming funeral has a number of A-list artists lined up to pay tribute to the late One Direction star following his tragic death.

Liam Payne's body is set to be returned to the U.K.
A source told RadarOnline.com: "Liam's funeral is going to be packed with A-listers as he was so well-loved in the showbiz community, and so many of them are so sad about his tragic death.
"His family want to keep his farewell low-key and respectful, as it's what Liam would have wanted as he was so down to earth.
"But there are going to be a series of song tributes from some very big acts as he loved singing and making music until the end."
Liam Payne died in Argentina.
Liam's body arrived at the British cemetery near Buenos Aires two days after the incident while investigations into his death were ongoing.
Now, his body is expected to be flown back to the U.K. later this week once all necessary paperwork is completed.
An autopsy performed on Liam revealed that he had sustained twenty-five injuries in the fatal fall.
Liam's father was told his son's body could be repatriated within a few days, but the investigation extended for two weeks.
Liam Payne died after falling from his hotel room balcony.
The former One Direction singer tragically died after falling from the third floor of his hotel in Buenos Aires last month.
Witnesses said the fall happened around 5 pm local time, shortly after Liam was spotted "acting erratic" in the hotel lobby — smashing his laptop and getting carried back to his room.
Police had previously been called to the hotel due to an "aggressive man who may have been under the effects of drugs and alcohol".
City ambulance spokesperson Alberto Crescenti told the media: "The injuries (Liam) had suffered as a result of the fall proved to be fatal. There was no possibility of resurrecting him."
Liam Payne was in a long-term relationship with US actress Kate Cassidy at the time of his shock death in Argentina.
