        British singer Zayn Malik said on Saturday he will postpone the U.S. leg of his "Stairway to the Sky" tour after his former One Direction bandmate Liam Payne died earlier this week.
        
        Payne, 31, died on Wednesday after falling from a third-floor hotel room balcony in Buenos Aires, shocking fans of the boy band, one of the most popular of all time.
        
        Investigators in Argentina are now working to reconstruct Payne's final hours, after saying the singer's death likely occurred after "some kind of episode due to substance abuse."
        
        Payne's room was found destroyed, with broken objects and furniture, along with alcohol and substances thought to be narcotics.
