The 31-year-old Wolverhampton-born singer will be laid to rest in a private funeral, with a special guestlist of people invited to pay their last respects.
The One Direction star died after falling from the third floor balcony of his hotel room in Argentina last month and his body was allowed to be flown home by his family after being given the ok by officials in Buenos Aires.
The star’s father Geoff was also on the flight back into the UK along with the singer’s body.
Among those believed to be attending the funeral, according to the Daily Mirror, are the One Direction bandmates, including Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik, while his girlfriend Kate Cassidy is also expected to attend along with Simon Cowell.
Last week, it was announced that three people have been charged in connection with Liam’s death in Argentina.
According to a translation of the statement issued by the public prosecutor’s office in Argentina, prosecutors said “exhaustive and meticulous measures were taken to clarify the circumstances” around the 31-year-old dad-of-one’s death.
The statement said: “Based on the evidence gathered and after analysing the various bodies of proceedings and numerous documentary annexes and the background of the case, prosecutor Andres Esteban Madrea formally charged three people, requesting their questioning and arrest in a 180-page ruling presented last Friday to Judge Bruniard.”
Prosecutors said one of the individuals was accompanying the singer on a daily basis in Argentina and stands accused of abandonment of a person followed by death, which could carry a sentence of up to 15 years.
Another was an employee at the hotel where Payne was staying.
The third person allegedly supplied drugs.
