Liam Payne's grave is apparently under significant threat of theft, with concerns raised about a rising swarm of admirers wanting to pay their respects to the late One Direction singer.
RadarOnline warned that fans might steal from the graveyard of St. Mary's in the UK, where the Teardrops hitmaker was put to rest on Wednesday, November 20.
According to sources, the church is "bracing" for a deluge of admirers who want to see Payne's ultimate resting place.
"The church authorities are braced for an army of fans who are set to descend on Liam's final resting place," a source told the site. "There is bound to be a lot of interest in the first few weeks and there is a worry that devotees will be tempted to take items left in honor of Liam."
There are also plans to put round-the-clock security officers at the location, at least for the first few weeks, until public enthusiasm wanes.
"The last thing his grieving family needs is the prospect of grave robbers rearing their ugly heads," according to a source.
The 31-year-old Payne sadly died after falling from a third-floor hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
He was in town to attend his former One Direction bandmate Niall Horan's concert, which was attended by fellow 1D members Zayn Malik, Harry Styles, and Louis Tomlinson at Payne's funeral.
