Liam Payne made a social media message just hours before his death.
The music sensation died on Wednesday, aged 31, after falling from his hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, but Liam was still posting on Snapchat hours before his death.
Speaking about his plans for the day, Liam told his Snapchat followers: “Today, we ride. We’re going to ride some horses.
“Think I’m going to play polo again, which is going to put me out of action for about six weeks.
“It’s so hard to do, number one, my back and my neck from swinging that hammer around … or mallet, I think it’s called if you’re in the know. It hurts a lot, it’s very tough to do.”
Liam, who had recently attended a Niall Horan concert in Argentina, died after falling from the third floor of the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in the Argentine capital.
Liam gained enormous success as a member of One Direction, and he launched a solo career once the band went on indefinite hiatus in 2016.
However, he previously confessed that he needed to “reset the button and take a break” after suffering with alcoholism.
Liam told the BBC: “It was very erratic behaviour on my part – I was partying too hard.
“It was a tough little time. My family were very worried.”
The pop star acknowledged that he turned to alcohol in a bid to “mask [his] feelings”.
He shared: “I was coming off the back-end of a break-up, so I was dealing with all sorts of emotions that I hadn’t dealt with in a long time because I was always covering them up – heartbreak, nerves, all sorts of things.
“I’d gotten too used to this rhythm of life; of using alcohol and different things to mask my feelings, or get me through.”
