Liam’s Early Years

Liam James Payne was born in Wolverhampton, England to Geoff and Karen payne. He’s got two older sisters called Nicola and Ruth.

Liam was born 3 weeks early and as a result had a few health issues. The first four years of his life were spent in and out of hospitals, getting regular tests done.

Doctors noticed that one of Liam’s kidneys was scarred and not functioning properly, however in 2012 Liam found out that his kidney had actually started functioning properly again!

From six years old, Liam noticed that he had a great ability to sing, and would often sing for relatives or at karaoke.

His heart however was set on becoming an Olympic runner, and he was a member of the Wolverhampton and Bilston Athletics Clubs. Each day Liam would get up at 5am to run five miles before school!

Lucky for us that he decided to concentrate on his singing!
