    Simon Cowell doesn't feel "guilt" about Liam Payne's death

    The One Direction star died at the age of 31 last year after falling from a hotel balcony in Argentina and Cowell has defended himself against those who criticised his TV talent shows in the wake of the tragedy.


    Simon told the Daily Mail newspaper: "Not guilty. When I eventually met with his parents a few months afterwards, obviously we talked about this. Both his mum and dad said to me that music was Liam's passion. His proudest moment was getting through The X Factor the second time.
