Oddly enough, just yesterday I had stumbled upon some guy's video where he was breaking down some of the things that Liam had done over the years and some of the things he recently had been accused of. But the guy was just so rude and obnoxious and mean that I had to stop watching. I literally thought "these are the things that Liam sees if he actually goes searching.." and how that can't be good for his mental health.
Right? Just yesterday I saw a video of some guy watching videos of him just to cringe about him. I was just thinking about what all of these people will say if something actually happens to Liam ... Didn't think I'd find out so fast
Maybe they'll release and give all the money towards the family or for donations. Cause for my fav Jonghyun they released his last album after his death and the sales went to a charity he was supporting.
He’s been struggling for years and despite him being open about his addiction and mental health issues, people still turned him into an internet joke. Bullied his whole life. A tragedy.
Very sad and angry today. There was so much bullying towards him, especially after Maya's allegations. Quite outside of that, people hated on him for everything he did, tried to say the other boys in the band hated him, ridiculed him, etc. It really was a hate train and despite some of us warning again and again about Caroline Flack, who killed herself after just this kind of online bullying, it continued. It's been a cesspit. I hope the man's finally at peace but the rest of us feel kind of broken today - my heart goes out to his loved ones.
Thank you for making this stream and acknowledging Liam. I always come here for your TOP videos, but 10 years ago I was such a die hard fan of 1D, they definitely made my youth such a great time to remember, and Liam played a big part of it. Thank you for sharing your thoughts at this hard moment
That is what I ve been thinking. So much will change. One Direction is still out there, popular, great music. We see videos every day! How will we be able to watch inthe same way? I’m an “older fan”, but this is devastating. Thank you for this
Thank you for streaming in real time. I was talking to a friend about this exact thing. Being heart broken without ever meeting the person! I’m heartbroken. For his son. For his sisters. For his parents. For his 1D brothers. For the fans. 💔
Thanks guys. It is a comfort coming here to your channel. The conversation here us much mature and respectful to Liam who was a human and not only a celebrity.
The internet absolutely failed him. Only days ago I was defending him in some stupid comment section about him dancing at Niall's concert and now... So tragic. He was always my favourite, despite his lack of popularity amongst fans and I find myself much more upset than I anticipated. Sleep well, Liam. You're at peace now.
From what news in Argentina are saying, it doesn’t even sound like he knew what he was doing. He was on multiple kinds of drugs, fainted in the lobby, and once he was in his room had a manic episode and employees couldn’t stop him. I don’t even think he knew he was doing to die when he jumped
Yeah seems like neighbours or staff called the police and reported a man acting “angry” and breaking a laptop on the balcony, it says that as the police approached that’s when he jumped. (That’s when they heard a loud thud/bang) I can’t imagine the fear of not only the police approaching, probably very aggressively, but also the inevitable scrutiny from the tabloids and media he would have had to face once news of his arrest made headlines. Kind of like what happened to Caroline Flack. He probably felt he was F’d either way. Any kind of drugs or alcohol would have fuelled that impending doom feeling 100x over. So incredibly sad.
I'm new to the 1D fan club. Just began to learn about their journey from the beginning. This is so tragic. He is younger than my youngest child. It's going to take some processing of this news.
I am a 63 year old grandma with a son his age. My heart is so broken right now in a way that is crazy. My heart breaks for his family, son, and bandmates. My heart is so heavy for Niall right now. The video's of Liam talking about Niall (in a good way) and attending his concert in Argentina is all just so heartbreaking. Im not even certain how to verbalize what im feeling. So very sad. When substance abuse is involved, friends and family are helpless unless the person is ready to receive help. I lost a friend to suicide when I was younger, and the feelings of guilt for having not seen the signs or wondering what I could have done differently are unavoidable.
OMG ! 😰 As a 15 yrs old fan who discovered them in 2023 and carried out my journey with uncle Ryan and uncle Nathan , I can't imagine pain of fans who are with them since I was born! I didn't cry or accept it was real, but when one direction dead ig account posted a joint statement stating from Louis , Zayn ,Niall and Harry. I felt ok this has happened this is real felt so miserable fans finally saw 5 members name after 9 yrs but how tragically. Then comes Louis personal ig post and it made me emotional 😞, and after few minutes Zayn posted and My God reading his post shattered me completely , I was numb.I started crying like crazy. Zayn's first statement I talking out loud Liam in hope you will listen me, then how they supported each other laugh, the fight, him saying Liam was the best in the group and finally the regret of closing statement " I will give anything to give hug you tightly and say I love you " has mentioned puddle of years and the picture he posted OmL . It was like you can feel Zayn and louis pain through the screen , especially in his last days in Argentina Liam said to the fan" hey you know Zayn is doing so well he is about to go on tour , I am so proud of him" and that was the only time Liam genuinely looked happy in his last days while talking about Zayn his eyes lit up. The fact that Zayn's first ever solo tour is scheduled in 6 days completely sold out and venues got increased due to heavy demand with fans travelling all over the world to see him , idk what will he decide following this tragic event I hope whatever he does continue the tour or postpones it he should be supported. Rest in peace Liam Sir 🕊️ 🙏❤
I was one of those people who thought 1D was annoying at first, but by the time their fourth album came out, everything had changed and I became a fan. Despite this, Liam never really caught my attention in the band or as a solo artist. But even though I wasn't a huge fan of his, I'm still frozen by this news! It's always horrible when this happens because I hear the person's voice in the songs and feel a huge void like something is missing ('cause it is). I've been through this with The Wanted (another boyband I like). So sad. Rest in peace.
Thank you for covering this tragedy 😢. I'm not a long time fan, but knew his history,via being a fan of Niall and Zayn. I've seen some interviews with him, trying to get his life together after addiction. I was hoping the best for his family ❤❤❤. God bless him 🙏
A terrible terrible loss for this world. Liam with the biggest heart. Don’t know if you guys realized, but during the lockdown Liam was a constant presence on Twitter, posting often, singing, talking, laughing and helping everyone through hard time by keeping their spirits up. I believe he’s been through so much abuse in his life by the music industry and his handlers. The times that he did get help I believe were ruined afterwards by people in his life who convinced him he could do things he shouldn’t. He spent the last month posting snaps secretly begging people for help in the midst of his sentences. Asking people to get him out of his prison. As Sam began to throw hate his way, he received a threats in the past weeks. I want to say shame on TMZ who put out videos today of his actual fall and the condition of this hotel room and the people that are spreading these videos. I wish we offer ultimate respect, and love to his parents, his sisters, his loved ones, the boys, etc. however, his death took place. It is an ultimate tragedy. What a triumph Liam had releasing his song appropriately called teardrops or he’s really seemed to find himself and his voice! He has an entire album, that management has kept from being released. I believe so many things has led to his mental state. I pray in his final moments he found some peace. We love Liam and pray for everyone’s healing personally besides the sadness there is a deep seated anger inside that I believe others are feeling at the momentthat I’m trying to control. I want to thank you both for your recognition of Liam and his talent. Take care everyone out there. Life is short “I don’t know how to love you when I am broken too”❤💔🫂
I cried a lot, and for a moment I even stopped breathing. I know I did not know him personally But Nathan and Ryan it is a new experience for me because I love all the boys so much and it just broke my heart thinking about what went wrong. I feel a lot stupid crying over someone I did not know but I just can't control it. And in his last few days, he was getting so much hate and not gonna lie I was a bit worried about him but he posted on Snapchat every day and it seemed that he was happy again and the boys were interacting with each other. Even Zayn interacted with him. I feel like if this is happening to me what would be his family, friends and the closed ones would be going through.
Thank you for posting this guys. I woke up to this tragic news and it's totally shocked me. Only 2 years a fan and I was a mess at work, now i'm home I can't stop crying. I can only imagine how others are feeling who grew up with the band. Thank you for your kind words and this safe space. RIP Liam sending love to his family and friends.💔
It’s really sad He was visiting to see nials concert, so I can only imagine how he feels right now. Also his last Snapchat story like an hour before, He seemed excited and was having fun with his girlfriend. I’ve been a fan of them since like the 5th grade and I’m about to graduate college .. I’ve lost artist I cared about before (a couple on the kpop side) but this hits hard too I also lost two family members in a couple months so I think that could be a reason that this one hit so hard .. But condolences to his family friends and fans
Nathan and Ryan, I just want to say that I love how much u love the guys now and also Liam posted on his Snapchat every single day and it was so shocking when I heard this news I was in school and I also thought that someone made a bad joke but it was true. He posted this morning with his girlfriend and it was like unbelievable like how did it happen... He went to Argentina to see Niallès Concert and said that he was going to talk to him about something. And Niall was one of the last 1D members he saw. It just breaks my heart that my childhood idol is no more. And once again Nathan and Ryan tysm for mourning for Liam. Even though we don't know these guys it just feels like they are a part of your family just because you see them every day so it hurts....
I've been listening to spaces and bawling like a baby with old 1D vids playing in the background and watching how goofy and wonderful he was 💔💔 He jumped if he fell likely chance who would of survived authorities confirmed it. He had it the hate pushed him over the edge love you Lima bean hope you finally at peace angel 💔💔
I remember watching the one direction journey through real time as a teen on xfactor, although I never became a one direction fan per se, I definitely felt like I knew each of them because I grew up with them. I always thought Liam would be the Harry, the one winning Grammys, the one who flourished because he was always the leader, it’s sad because he probably felt that disappointment 10000x more than any of us could have imagined. And in todays day and age of celebrity hate trains, hate comments, sheep mentality, accusations, I always find myself worrying about how celebs feel seeing the stuff people say and having to suck it up because they’re “rich” and therefore aren’t allowed to complain or be vulnerable. I truly hope instances like this make people understand that celebrities have struggles, feelings and trauma too, that bashing them and being spiteful can have detrimental consequences. May Liam Rest In Perfect Peace.
Litterly just found out Liam passed. Im so chocked. Hope everyone around him is safe. The Internet has bin going crazy the last few days. I just hope the fandom take time to appreciate him and STOP THE HATE. Rest piecefully Liam
I became a Harry Styles fan a little over a year ago and fell a bit down the 1d rabbit hole. I feel sort of connected to those boys now and this is just so shocking and sad.
I've had several family members who are older than me that passed from cancers or stroke/heart disease but the death that hit me was the unexpected death of a friends (who moved away)brother a week after they were back in town to visit and i missed seeing them. RIP Liam (Leeroy) I'm so sorry that you weren't able to defeat your dragons.
Thank you guys for doing this. You made some valid points about 'lashing out'....its so sad. There needs to be discussion about social media, fame, what you can say and cant say. I mean, if Maya was gonna file a court case against him through legal channels, is ut really necessary to talk about it in public?? I mean she wrote a book fictional? ..but based on Liam. Is it the right way to do deal with personal issues? I mean before Ny legal action, everyone bullied and declared him guilty as charged on social media. So sad.
I wasn't saying I'd be angry at all..just sad because i know how hard he's worked to get there and i also understand how this could totally derail that
Thank you for making this a safe space for fans to express their feelings about Liam's passing. I know many fans blame his ex-girlfriend for his death but it seems like MANY things came to a head which overwhelmed him to the point where he went on a three-day, drug/alcohol/substance binge which resulted in his fatal fall. Yes, his record label recently postponed his second solo album and dropped him just a few days before his death. Yes, a planned documentary about his career just got axed. Yes, his longtime publicist left him a week before his death. Yes, he got a lot of backlash from fans for his "showboating" behavior at Niall's concert. Yes, when his ex-girlfriend confirmed that it was Zayn who pushed Liam up against a wall during a 1D backstage argument, many fans said that Liam probably deserved it. Yes, he received a cease-and-desist letter for obsessive contact last week from his ex-girlfriend's lawyers who stated that "new and concerning information" had emerged which initiated the action. Yes, he was only supposed to stay in Argentina for a few days but it turned into two weeks and his current girlfriend missed home so she left him two days before his death. I believe so many things contributed to the emotional maelstrom that he found himself in. And, I can acknowledge that Liam was a kind, supportive and loving man who was a very talented singer while recognizing that he was also a very troubled man who suffered from many addictions and hurt people. No matter how you look at it; his death is just so sad.
I literally just woke up to the news in Europe. I am the same age as you guys, I've been a huge Harry fan for a few years, went to Love on Tour. Through Harry I got to know and appreciate One Direction, much like you guys. My teenage daughter was telling me literally 2 days ago that Liam was being bullied on social media for how he was behaving at Niall's concert, and his ex Maya Henry was saying negative stuff about him in a podcast. I said to my daughter that I am afraid to say that my intuition says Liam is going to be dead within the next 5 years, I feel he is on a very self-destructive path and it seems things are going from bad to worse. He has known substance abuse problems, his music isn't the success his talent should have made it, and everyone is piling on him on social media. I feel bad and even guilty now that I said that, but maybe it was all obviously coming to a head in Liam's life 😢😢. What a sad, sad loss of a life, I am so sorry.
Very sad. Unfortunately people make the wrong choices and it becomes something that destroys them in the end. We all need God. Condolences to his family.
Aren't you the guys that said he seems disingenuine??? I'm fuming Coz the people that dragged him are now shocked that a man who openly expressed struggles with his mh are now saying how tragic it is, Lima bean was a huge goof ball dork who never took himself seriously and was up for pulling the piss out of himself to get others to smile💖💖 this tragedy was 100% preventable he was no angel, but he was human and very candidly spoke about his struggles and he got attacked for breathing Rip precious Lima bean you will be missed and never forgotten as daddy direction 💔💔
His ex fiance just did a podcast talking about how he abused her and had just filed a cease and desist because he was harassing her..this is incredibly sad
I'm very bad, this shouldn't be like this, he was very young, he had a sister, his parents, his son, the boys, he still had many things to do in his life, it shouldn't have been like this, he still had a lot to prove😔
I only started watching One Direction after they announced their hiatus, but I remember the only one I liked from the beginning was Liam. I liked his personality, how he was cheerful and funny in every conversation, I liked his voice and I liked him as a man. It wasn't until later that I started to discover the other members of the group and fell in love with them, but Liam was the first. Maybe that's why his death hit me harder than I could have imagined. And the worst part is, it didn't surprise me. Liam had faced a wave of hatred in recent years that defied common sense. Sure, millions of people loved him, but millions more hated whatever he'd done and made it clear all the time. Add to that his depression and tendency towards alcoholism, it was a matter of time. And that bothers me terribly. That he died thinking people hated him. I remember in the early days of your journey with One Direction, you also made fun of him, that other band members were successful and he wasn't, I even stopped subsribe your channel for a while because of it. Fortunately, later on you also realised what a special person and singer Liam was. Like I said, I've been waiting for something to happen for the last few days. Liam seemed happy to be back online after a long time, sharing his life with us. He went to his friend Niall's concert and what happened? People hated him, said he was just trying to make himself visible, made fun of him, said he was finished. In addition, his ex published a book portraying Liam as an abuser and talking about him online. I'm not saying it was her fault, but she pushed him. Maybe he wasn't nice to her, and I believe it bothered him, but we'll never know, Liam's dead. I'm 48 years old and I cried all night last night like my best friend died. When I read the statements from Luis, Harry and Zayn, it broke my heart. One Direction will never get back together, it's the end of an era. We all failed him. And I blame all of you who showed him your hatred and how he is not worthy of being in this world. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Ryan and Nathan, thank you for being able to find a place in your hearts for Liam and for sharing our pain with us today.💔 And my personal message to Liam: You were loved and you deserved all the love in the world and you deserved to be recognized as an artist. I will never stop defending you. I'm gonna miss you so much. I hope you've found peace.🤍🤍🤍
Végtelenül szomorú vagyok, hogy elment egy olyan fiatal aki még annyi minden előtt állt. Szerettem ahogy énekelt, ahogyan bolondozott a nevetését a szipadon, és a közönség vele nevetett. Kellemes ember volt, milyen csodásan énekelt Rita Orával, megdöbbentett a halála.....fiatal lélek volt.....sjnálom Liam, nyugodj békében,,,részvétem a Családnak és a banda tagjainak.....remélem, hogy sikerül feldolgozni a gyászt az elvesztést. áldás....áldás....
I was just getting over Tom Petty thinking how I would feel when I loose Stevie Nicks and Bob Seger…. Then instead, this. Can and can’t wrap my head around it. Watching & listening to 1D won’t ever feel the same.
8:53 this! I absolutely hate that this is where his story ended. I wanted him to have time to find peace and health and make the serious amends he needed to.
Como me encuentro? Devastada, me siento mal hoy que sería un día para celebrar cambio repentinamente que se me hace difícil procesar todo, espero que la familia de Liam sean fuertes para apoyarse unos a otros, espero logren superar todo esto juntos
More news has come out in last couple of hours… he was clearly on something (images of his hotel room show lots of substances. His aggressive behavior in lobby… smashing lap top, they had to carry him to his room where he started smashing up his room (image of tv smashed) then supposedly ran away from staff and just launched off the balcony. So yes, I think he jumped but not sure he really knew what he was doing in that moment. Such a waste of a great talent. Feel horrible for everyone in his life.
He should not have died the way he did. But the way people are blaming the bullying is bullshit. He did terrible things and he deserved to be held accountable. Sadly he was not able to get the help he needed and now his victim won’t be able to get justice and his family lost a loved one. Tragic for everyone involved
I feel like the internet failed him in a way. We should have given him more grace, no one deserved the hate he got.
Oddly enough, just yesterday I had stumbled upon some guy's video where he was breaking down some of the things that Liam had done over the years and some of the things he recently had been accused of. But the guy was just so rude and obnoxious and mean that I had to stop watching. I literally thought "these are the things that Liam sees if he actually goes searching.." and how that can't be good for his mental health.
Right?
Just yesterday I saw a video of some guy watching videos of him just to cringe about him. I was just thinking about what all of these people will say if something actually happens to Liam ... Didn't think I'd find out so fast
He assaulted children and his ex fiance. No grace deserved
@angel3073 yes shit like that is dangerous. Im heartbroken for his son and family. Hope we can learn. Sleep in piece Liam 💔
@@angel3073are you talking about Sloan channel who has a weird looking face?
I feel pain, and I'm still in shock. I wish people would remember his good moments more. Rest in Peace Buddy🕊 ❤❤
This should not be how it ended for him. So tragic 💔
he was very excited to release his next album that he'd been working so hard on for years. it's so sad that he won't get to.
Maybe they'll release and give all the money towards the family or for donations. Cause for my fav Jonghyun they released his last album after his death and the sales went to a charity he was supporting.
I’m crying even more😭😭
He’s been struggling for years and despite him being open about his addiction and mental health issues, people still turned him into an internet joke. Bullied his whole life. A tragedy.
Very sad and angry today. There was so much bullying towards him, especially after Maya's allegations. Quite outside of that, people hated on him for everything he did, tried to say the other boys in the band hated him, ridiculed him, etc. It really was a hate train and despite some of us warning again and again about Caroline Flack, who killed herself after just this kind of online bullying, it continued. It's been a cesspit. I hope the man's finally at peace but the rest of us feel kind of broken today - my heart goes out to his loved ones.
Thank you for acknowledging Liam and our grief in such a sincere and respectful way.❤️
Liam Payne REST IN PEACE ♥️
Mental health is very important.
Thank you for making this stream and acknowledging Liam. I always come here for your TOP videos, but 10 years ago I was such a die hard fan of 1D, they definitely made my youth such a great time to remember, and Liam played a big part of it. Thank you for sharing your thoughts at this hard moment
It's so sad. It's just so hard to process this. My heart breaks for his family and I'm so sorry he struggled so much.
Absolutely tragic and heartbreaking 💔
Thank you for the heartfelt interview. It means a lot.
That is what I ve been thinking. So much will change. One Direction is still out there, popular, great music. We see videos every day! How will we be able to watch inthe same way? I’m an “older fan”, but this is devastating.
Thank you for this
Thank you for streaming in real time. I was talking to a friend about this exact thing. Being heart broken without ever meeting the person! I’m heartbroken.
For his son. For his sisters. For his parents. For his 1D brothers. For the fans. 💔

I am heart broken 💔 he was way too young. My prayers goes out to his family, son, fans and 1D boys. Ee meed to treat peoplr with kindness 😭🙏🕉🕯

Im hearthbroken for his family and friends. RIP Liam, I cant believe he is gone. He had so much talent
It was such a shock, I started crying during a meeting at work 💔 sending love to everyone
I'm crying for this 😢. This poor guy has overcome so much and was attempting to have a new life. I'm sorry for his family and beloved fans 🙏❤❤.
Yes, he seemed to be very happy with his girlfriend.
OMG ! 😰 As a 15 yrs old fan who discovered them in 2023 and carried out my journey with uncle Ryan and uncle Nathan , I can't imagine pain of fans who are with them since I was born! I didn't cry or accept it was real, but when one direction dead ig account posted a joint statement stating from Louis , Zayn ,Niall and Harry. I felt ok this has happened this is real felt so miserable fans finally saw 5 members name after 9 yrs but how tragically.

Liam was an addict. It is the addiction that hurts others. Liam had a world of issues that he had to live with. Liam was lovely.
This is very sad! Liam was a beautiful person and such a talent 💕
A terrible terrible loss for this world. Liam with the biggest heart. Don’t know if you guys realized, but during the lockdown Liam was a constant presence on Twitter, posting often, singing, talking, laughing and helping everyone through hard time by keeping their spirits up. I believe he’s been through so much abuse in his life by the music industry and his handlers. The times that he did get help I believe were ruined afterwards by people in his life who convinced him he could do things he shouldn’t. He spent the last month posting snaps secretly begging people for help in the midst of his sentences. Asking people to get him out of his prison. As Sam began to throw hate his way, he received a threats in the past weeks. I want to say shame on TMZ who put out videos today of his actual fall and the condition of this hotel room and the people that are spreading these videos.

Thank you guys. I'm very sad 😢
I cried a lot, and for a moment I even stopped breathing.

I feel a lot stupid crying over someone I did not know but I just can't control it.

I can only imagine how others are feeling who grew up with the band. Thank you for your kind words and this safe space. RIP Liam sending love to his family and friends.💔
It’s really sad
He was visiting to see nials concert, so I can only imagine how he feels right now.
Also his last Snapchat story like an hour before,
He seemed excited and was having fun with his girlfriend.
I’ve been a fan of them since like the 5th grade and I’m about to graduate college ..
I’ve lost artist I cared about before (a couple on the kpop side) but this hits hard too
I also lost two family members in a couple months so I think that could be a reason that this one hit so hard ..
But condolences to his family friends and fans
I’m 32 years old and I’m bawling my eyes out :,( 😢😢😢😢😢😢. Rest easy Liam Payne 😢😢😢
Glad you guys are on to process this.
Nathan and Ryan, I just want to say that I love how much u love the guys now and also Liam posted on his Snapchat every single day and it was so shocking when I heard this news I was in school and I also thought that someone made a bad joke but it was true. He posted this morning with his girlfriend and it was like unbelievable like how did it happen... He went to Argentina to see Niallès Concert and said that he was going to talk to him about something. And Niall was one of the last 1D members he saw. It just breaks my heart that my childhood idol is no more. And once again Nathan and Ryan tysm for mourning for Liam. Even though we don't know these guys it just feels like they are a part of your family just because you see them every day so it hurts....
I've been listening to spaces and bawling like a baby with old 1D vids playing in the background and watching how goofy and wonderful he was 💔💔 He jumped if he fell likely chance who would of survived authorities confirmed it. He had it the hate pushed him over the edge love you Lima bean hope you finally at peace angel 💔💔
I’m bawling my eyes out rn.
I remember watching the one direction journey through real time as a teen on xfactor, although I never became a one direction fan per se, I definitely felt like I knew each of them because I grew up with them. I always thought Liam would be the Harry, the one winning Grammys, the one who flourished because he was always the leader, it’s sad because he probably felt that disappointment 10000x more than any of us could have imagined. And in todays day and age of celebrity hate trains, hate comments, sheep mentality, accusations, I always find myself worrying about how celebs feel seeing the stuff people say and having to suck it up because they’re “rich” and therefore aren’t allowed to complain or be vulnerable. I truly hope instances like this make people understand that celebrities have struggles, feelings and trauma too, that bashing them and being spiteful can have detrimental consequences. May Liam Rest In Perfect Peace.
Litterly just found out Liam passed. Im so chocked. Hope everyone around him is safe. The Internet has bin going crazy the last few days. I just hope the fandom take time to appreciate him and STOP THE HATE. Rest piecefully Liam
I became a Harry Styles fan a little over a year ago and fell a bit down the 1d rabbit hole. I feel sort of connected to those boys now and this is just so shocking and sad.
The You Tubers in the last week or so have been posting such vitriol about him…he loved his fans, it would have been hard to read.
I've had several family members who are older than me that passed from cancers or stroke/heart disease but the death that hit me was the unexpected death of a friends (who moved away)brother a week after they were back in town to visit and i missed seeing them. RIP Liam (Leeroy) I'm so sorry that you weren't able to defeat your dragons.
This is so sad.He has a young son . So tragic
Thank you guys for doing this. You made some valid points about 'lashing out'....its so sad. There needs to be discussion about social media, fame, what you can say and cant say. I mean, if Maya was gonna file a court case against him through legal channels, is ut really necessary to talk about it in public?? I mean she wrote a book fictional? ..but based on Liam. Is it the right way to do deal with personal issues? I mean before Ny legal action, everyone bullied and declared him guilty as charged on social media. So sad.
So so wild and so so sad 🫂 everyone grieving sending all love and condolences to his family, son, friends and fans ❤
He went to Argetina because Niall had a show there, Liam went to Nialls concert and a few days later he died omg....my heart
I’ve been throwing up since I found out… devastated is an understatement 💔
Zayn's tour is supposed to start in a week..not sure where that leaves us..
I don't think nobody should be mad if he cancels or reschedule it
I think he will and it’s completely understandable especially knowing he struggles already 😢
I wasn't saying I'd be angry at all..just sad because i know how hard he's worked to get there and i also understand how this could totally derail that
😢.......NO WORDS😭
Thank you for making this a safe space for fans to express their feelings about Liam's passing. I know many fans blame his ex-girlfriend for his death but it seems like MANY things came to a head which overwhelmed him to the point where he went on a three-day, drug/alcohol/substance binge which resulted in his fatal fall. Yes, his record label recently postponed his second solo album and dropped him just a few days before his death. Yes, a planned documentary about his career just got axed. Yes, his longtime publicist left him a week before his death. Yes, he got a lot of backlash from fans for his "showboating" behavior at Niall's concert. Yes, when his ex-girlfriend confirmed that it was Zayn who pushed Liam up against a wall during a 1D backstage argument, many fans said that Liam probably deserved it. Yes, he received a cease-and-desist letter for obsessive contact last week from his ex-girlfriend's lawyers who stated that "new and concerning information" had emerged which initiated the action. Yes, he was only supposed to stay in Argentina for a few days but it turned into two weeks and his current girlfriend missed home so she left him two days before his death. I believe so many things contributed to the emotional maelstrom that he found himself in. And, I can acknowledge that Liam was a kind, supportive and loving man who was a very talented singer while recognizing that he was also a very troubled man who suffered from many addictions and hurt people. No matter how you look at it; his death is just so sad.
I literally just woke up to the news in Europe. I am the same age as you guys, I've been a huge Harry fan for a few years, went to Love on Tour. Through Harry I got to know and appreciate One Direction, much like you guys. My teenage daughter was telling me literally 2 days ago that Liam was being bullied on social media for how he was behaving at Niall's concert, and his ex Maya Henry was saying negative stuff about him in a podcast. I said to my daughter that I am afraid to say that my intuition says Liam is going to be dead within the next 5 years, I feel he is on a very self-destructive path and it seems things are going from bad to worse. He has known substance abuse problems, his music isn't the success his talent should have made it, and everyone is piling on him on social media. I feel bad and even guilty now that I said that, but maybe it was all obviously coming to a head in Liam's life 😢😢. What a sad, sad loss of a life, I am so sorry.
Very sad. Unfortunately people make the wrong choices and it becomes something that destroys them in the end. We all need God. Condolences to his family.
I cannot believe it heartbreaking
Aren't you the guys that said he seems disingenuine??? I'm fuming Coz the people that dragged him are now shocked that a man who openly expressed struggles with his mh are now saying how tragic it is, Lima bean was a huge goof ball dork who never took himself seriously and was up for pulling the piss out of himself to get others to smile💖💖 this tragedy was 100% preventable he was no angel, but he was human and very candidly spoke about his struggles and he got attacked for breathing Rip precious Lima bean you will be missed and never forgotten as daddy direction 💔💔
Thank you..
His ex fiance just did a podcast talking about how he abused her and had just filed a cease and desist because he was harassing her..this is incredibly sad
I'm very bad, this shouldn't be like this, he was very young, he had a sister, his parents, his son, the boys, he still had many things to do in his life, it shouldn't have been like this, he still had a lot to prove😔
I only started watching One Direction after they announced their hiatus, but I remember the only one I liked from the beginning was Liam. I liked his personality, how he was cheerful and funny in every conversation, I liked his voice and I liked him as a man. It wasn't until later that I started to discover the other members of the group and fell in love with them, but Liam was the first. Maybe that's why his death hit me harder than I could have imagined. And the worst part is, it didn't surprise me. Liam had faced a wave of hatred in recent years that defied common sense. Sure, millions of people loved him, but millions more hated whatever he'd done and made it clear all the time. Add to that his depression and tendency towards alcoholism, it was a matter of time. And that bothers me terribly. That he died thinking people hated him.
I remember in the early days of your journey with One Direction, you also made fun of him, that other band members were successful and he wasn't, I even stopped subsribe your channel for a while because of it.
Fortunately, later on you also realised what a special person and singer Liam was.
Like I said, I've been waiting for something to happen for the last few days. Liam seemed happy to be back online after a long time, sharing his life with us. He went to his friend Niall's concert and what happened? People hated him, said he was just trying to make himself visible, made fun of him, said he was finished. In addition, his ex published a book portraying Liam as an abuser and talking about him online.
I'm not saying it was her fault, but she pushed him. Maybe he wasn't nice to her, and I believe it bothered him, but we'll never know, Liam's dead.
I'm 48 years old and I cried all night last night like my best friend died. When I read the statements from Luis, Harry and Zayn, it broke my heart.
One Direction will never get back together, it's the end of an era.
We all failed him. And I blame all of you who showed him your hatred and how he is not worthy of being in this world. You should be ashamed of yourselves.
Ryan and Nathan, thank you for being able to find a place in your hearts for Liam and for sharing our pain with us today.💔
And my personal message to Liam: You were loved and you deserved all the love in the world and you deserved to be recognized as an artist. I will never stop defending you. I'm gonna miss you so much. I hope you've found peace.🤍🤍🤍
I can't believe this. I just refuse to believe this. 💔
Truly heartbreaking 💔
I am not a One Direction fan but I am so sorry for the loss this is the first time in my life that a member of a boy band died.
Végtelenül szomorú vagyok, hogy elment egy olyan fiatal aki még annyi minden előtt állt. Szerettem ahogy énekelt, ahogyan bolondozott a nevetését a szipadon, és a közönség vele nevetett. Kellemes ember volt, milyen csodásan énekelt Rita Orával, megdöbbentett a halála.....fiatal lélek volt.....sjnálom Liam, nyugodj békében,,,részvétem a Családnak és a banda tagjainak.....remélem, hogy sikerül feldolgozni a gyászt az elvesztést. áldás....áldás....
I was just getting over Tom Petty thinking how I would feel when I loose Stevie Nicks and Bob Seger…. Then instead, this. Can and can’t wrap my head around it. Watching & listening to 1D won’t ever feel the same.
It's heartbreaking guys whatever he done or didn't we lived with them they're part of our childhood we miss u daddy of 1D 😭💔
8:53 this!
I absolutely hate that this is where his story ended. I wanted him to have time to find peace and health and make the serious amends he needed to.
His ex fiancé maya henry has been speaking up recently about her experience with him and how he abused her and she just sued him the other day
RIP LIAM
Surreal
Como me encuentro? Devastada, me siento mal hoy que sería un día para celebrar cambio repentinamente que se me hace difícil procesar todo, espero que la familia de Liam sean fuertes para apoyarse unos a otros, espero logren superar todo esto juntos
More news has come out in last couple of hours… he was clearly on something (images of his hotel room show lots of substances. His aggressive behavior in lobby… smashing lap top, they had to carry him to his room where he started smashing up his room (image of tv smashed) then supposedly ran away from staff and just launched off the balcony. So yes, I think he jumped but not sure he really knew what he was doing in that moment. Such a waste of a great talent. Feel horrible for everyone in his life.
😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔
I am in denial. This can not be true. This must be a bad joke.
He should not have died the way he did. But the way people are blaming the bullying is bullshit. He did terrible things and he deserved to be held accountable. Sadly he was not able to get the help he needed and now his victim won’t be able to get justice and his family lost a loved one. Tragic for everyone involved
