SIMON Cowell has been in touch directly with Liam Payne's family after the "utter shock" of the One Direction star's tragic death.

Sources say the music mogul, 65, who mentored the boyband on The X Factor and signed them to his label Syco, contacted Liam's parents Karen and Geoff himself.

The family are also being comforted by their son's former bandmates, Niall Horan, 30, Louis Tomlinson, 32, Zayn Malik, 31, and Harry Styles, 30, who are mourning the loss of their "brother".

One source said: "Simon and the One Direction boys are all in touch with Liam's family.
