Nicole Scherzinger was a part of Liam Payne’s career rise and now she’s paying tribute to him. Payne died recently after falling from the third floor of a hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He was 31. The group that made him famous, One Direction, was formed on the UK reality competition show “The X Factor,” while Scherzinger was a judge.

The former Pussycat Dolls singer is credited as being responsible for the formation of the best-selling band during the 2010 season of 'The X Factor' alongside Simon Cowell.
