"When we came together to film Building the Band we never imagined we'd soon be saying goodbye to our friend Liam Payne. Liam is a guest judge in later episodes, and through his presence, we see his deep love for music and his unwavering commitment to helping others find their voice," host AJ McLean says to the camera in episode one.

Singer Cheryl Tweedy found it heartbreaking when Liam Payne's final TV show, Building The Band, was released on Netflix. Payne died after a fall in Buenos Aires.
