Much like Niall Horan’s tenure as a coach on The Voice, which he’s returning to for the season about to air on the 2025 TV schedule, Payne was able to use his own experience from X Factor and his career to help and encourage the contestants on Building the Band.

Liam Payne 's final major onscreen appearance in Netflix's "Building the Band" has aired. Payne served as a guest judge on the reality singing competition prior to his death in October last year.

The late One Direction band member died in October 2024, after filming Scherzinger's new music competition show.
