First look at Liam Payne in his final TV show as Netflix release trailer for Building The Band
The first images of tragic One Direction star Liam Payne's final TV project as a talent show judge have been released.
He is seen giving tips to young singing hopefuls in preview footage for Netflix's Building The Band.
The program was filmed just two months before his death at the age of 31 last October.
Payne's family have given permission for the streaming giant to go ahead with the series – which will be available to watch from July 9 – and were given final sign-off on how he appeared in the show.
The singer is one of three judges and mentors on the program, and in the trailer appears to be going through a range of emotions as he coaches a wannabe band.
In one clip he tells them: 'You've got a lot of work to do vocally — I need to feel that connection between you guys.'
In another scene he is seen seemingly referring to his own One Direction past when he comments on the process they go through on Building The Band.
He is heard saying: 'How these bands are put together is not normal — we were not put together that way.'
Payne is also seen smiling and clapping on stage during the advert — which runs for more than two minutes — and appears to wave and cup an ear in the direction of the audience.
The show also features singers Kelly Rowland and Nicole Scherzinger as judges and Backstreet Boys star AJ McLean as the host.
It brings together 50 musicians who have to form six bands, without ever seeing each other in person.
They perform in individual booths and have to pick one another based on singing ability and compatibility alone.
They have to form groups, who then compete against each other with the three judges watching.
It is an echo of when One Direction were formed on The X Factor in 2010, before going on to become one of the world's biggest boy bands.
However, at least they got to see and meet one another in person before the group was formed.
Payne filmed his scenes in the show in August just two months before he fell to his death from a third-floor hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
In January this year there had been a flashpoint when Netflix in the US had announced it would be scheduling the show on its platform, even though Payne's family thought they were still to sign off on it.
However, his relatives are now believed to have given it their blessing, as it celebrates Payne as a musician and singer.

Abbie Chatfield opens up about X-rated act while on holiday
One of Australia's most well known media personalities has revealed one X-rated thing she is looking forward to on her upcoming trip to Europe. Abbie Chatfield is currently holidaying in Europe with her boyfriend Adam Hyde, one half of Peking Duk, in honour of her 30th birthday. But, during an Ask Me Anything on her popular Listnr podcast It's A Lo t, she revealed one thing she was really excited about ahead of the trip. 'For those of you who don't know, I went to a sex club in Sydney with my friends and I walked in, and the girl behind the bar goes, 'It's Abbie Chatfield,' Chatfield said on the podcast. Being recognised soured the experience for the 30-year-old, who was in lingerie at the time, and therefore she did not partake in any of the activities at the venue. 'I felt deeply uncomfortable and anxious the entire time, people were coming up to me and recognising me — no one's allowed phones so it was actually worse,' she said. Chatfield added she and Hyde, who also performs under the name Keli Holiday, have been monogamous throughout their relationship — and will likely continue to do so. But, the trip to Europe allows them to explore their sexuality as a couple without being recognised. 'I've been gagging for a threesome,' Chatfield said bluntly. 'I've been gagging to f*** a woman, you know I'm a bisexual girly pop. But we haven't been able to — like, in Australia, who are we going to have a threesome with?' Chatfield said there was a difference between her sharing her sex life publicly, and others talking about her sex life. She also expressed that she enjoys the idea of watching Hyde have sex with another woman. 'The shame kink is only in the moment, not once it's over,' she said. She said the couple have spoken a lot about experiencing a sex club in Europe, including their boundaries and what they are willing to do. 'I think on the first time we go, we should go and agree to only f*** each other and not touch anyone else,' she said. She said the next time they go to a sex club, they will talk more about what they would be willing to do outside of their relationship. Chatfield expressed that she only wanted to have sexual relationships outside of Hyde with a woman — she said she didn't want to make any other men happy. 'No men I meet in a sex club will ever respect me as much as Adam — and I've never really been into random hook ups,' she said.
