A memorial for Harry Style's once band member with One Direction, Liam Payne, could be built down the road from the Holmes Chapel star's childhood home.  

Thousands of Liam Payne's fans have signed a petition calling for a memorial to be built in his honour in his home city. 

The grieving music lovers have called for a permanent "structure or mural" to be erected in tribute to the former One Direction star in Wolverhampton, West Midlands.

He fell 45ft from the third-floor balcony of the CasaSur hotel and tragically passed away from multiple injuries, including internal and external bleeding, on October 16. 

Harry Styles grew up in Holmes Chapel near Sandbach just off Junction 17 of the M6 – the motorway which takes you down to Wolverhampton where Liam Payne is from.   

Harry Styles has paid tribute to former band mate Liam Payne on his Instagram account saying his energy was "infectious" and he was "truly devastated".   

Meanwhile Liam's fans back in England previously reacted to the tragic news of his passing by flocking to Wolverhampton to lay flowers and light candles 

And now more than 2,500 people have signed a petition urging the council to consider building a permanent monument to the star.

Their appeal page reads: "The recent passing of Liam Payne has touched the hearts of many, not just the unbreakable community of One Direction fans, but people worldwide.  

"As individuals who have been profoundly impacted by the loss of this amazing talent, we ask for a permanent structure or mural to be erected in Wolverhampton in his honour. 

"Liam Payne's artistry has reached out and touched countless lives. His music was a harmonious blend of inspiration and comfort that resonated in the hearts of millions. 

 "His life and legacy deserve to be commemorated in a way that is as enduring as the light he imparted unto the world. 

"By erecting a permanent structure in Wolverhampton, we are ensuring that Liam Payne is remembered for generations to come.  

"This memorial will not only serve as a place to pay respects, but also a reminder of the incredible impact that individuals can make on the world."
