ApplauseStore, which manages tickets for the show, said on X that yesterday’s auditions in Blackpool had been postponed due to “the tragic passing of Liam Payne,” adding: “We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.” Cowell created both Britain’s Got Talent and The X Factor and Payne was a contestant on the latter.
