I'm not even a fan but I'm heartbroken over how he was treated. Depression is an illness and should be treated as such. But everyone was treating him like some douche bag, attention seeker. He was stopped from getting out his music and had people making fun of him for literally portraying behavior that showed he needed help.
His ex-girlfriend shouldn't have exposed their past relationship. She did it on purpose and it's her fault... She knew his behavior and knew he wasn't well. There's no excuse for someone who wants to make money selling books by badmouthing someone else... and she used him to become popular. Disgusting!
We don't know if no one is to blame. Regarding the "accident", there are a lot of things that don't make sense. Witnesses are also giving contradictory statements, same with the hotel staff. We don't know yet. And regarding how Cowell managed them... catastrophic. He should have been a second father to them, treated them like actual sons. They should have gotten mandatory psychological therapy during their time in the band to help them cope, and should have had better time management after concerts. How are you gonna keep teenagers locked inside a room full of alcohol? They should have planned healthy activities for them. You can't use them and then forget them. They are human. They are someone's precious child. Also his ex gf is so narcissistic. There were many factors that contributed to his death. We love to put all blame on a single person because " they are adults " but we forget that it takes a village to raise a child and this child was failed by his family, by his friends, by his mentor, by society and ex partners. We need to have more empathy for one another, we need to care for those suffering.
They kept offering him the drugs and he kept rejecting them but they wanted to make good money so he was being accosted. It's absolutely evil to do something like that to someone who has addiction issues and was all alone while battling with so many emotional situations around him. Addiction is an illness. But being evil is worse than addiction. He wasn't human to them but simply a sack of money.
This was beautifully done. Especially the last messages - “loving someone who is dealing with complex mental and substance issues inflects its own battle wounds”. it’s clear that the rashly written hate comments over the last year have affected him a lot, as they would anyone. let’s not make the same mistake again, and be kind to those involved. what a tragedy. I feel so sorry that he couldn’t be saved.
Actually one of the women you mention in the video talk about Liam negatively and she always found just right time to shadow Liam positive publicity 🥺 I personally wonder if his downfall is caused by her so called fiction book and her comments about him on her social media
Who could have endured all these setbacks, the public humiliation online, in the media, the pressure of his ex suing him, the pain of not existing anymore as an artist while his 'brothers' are still successful, the terrible news of his label letting him down on top of that, and so on and so on...nobody could have remained composed/in good health, I think we would have all exploded, it's way too much pressure for a human being... Though, one of Liam's biggest mistakes, actually the biggest one, was to think that drugs would help him go through it all. Once he started taking this so addictive and destructive sh....., it was all over. I do think that unfortunately, if this tragedy hadn't happened in Buenos Aires, Liam's days would have probably come to an end in the next few months elsewhere, he was in a dead end because of drugs, his mental health was a wreck. This is a terrible tragedy, we all feel so sad and sorry for this talented and handsome young man, but despite appearences, Liam probably wasn't made for this show business life, he was too fragile mentally. His life was way too short, but let's comfort ourselves by saying that he lived it fully in the way that it was literally an extraordinary life, he had the chance to live a unique experience with 1D, an incredible journey that very few on this planet have the chance to live... We won't forget him, never. May this kind Liam rest in eternal peace. All my thoughts to his poor parents/sisters/son, lots of courage/force to them...🕯❤🩹🕊
He looked like such a pure, innocent babe at 16. Kids, beware what you wish for… this is what fame does to you. It makes you paranoid & self-delusional.
It's a really beautiful tribute.. I have to agree. He seemed too fragile for showbiz. He looks like he came from a very loving, close-knit family who supported all his dreams, and he was the golden boy in it. Also, it probably didn't help that he started out in first place at a super young age,they really were kids when they started. By 22, it was all over, and yet he was finally an adult with his whole life before him. He had little success, and a lot of hate, in the only life he had ever known. Seems he was the most honest out of all of them, but it did him no favours in the media. He seemed a gentle and truthful soul, and I did not understand the hate he's got most of his career
I didn't follow 1d cos I grew up in the tt and nysnc era when artist were slightly less manufactured partly. It seems they were mere babes put on a stage. Being adults while kids. Being quieter, drugs probably initially offered him courage and slowly took over. So Sad how the fame he so longed for eventually destroyed him
Imagine being „locked“ in a Hotel room, because you can‘t go outside in the City or to the Beach because People would ALWAYS interact with you, take pics of you, wouldn‘t leave you alone, Paparazzi, and so on, so you‘re Forced to stay inside all alone, with Nothing more than your Phone, which blows up with all that hate and accusations and death threats. I don‘t think even a mentally healthy Person would handle this well. I feel so sorry for him, Rest in Peace Liam 🕊️
But at the same time having the trauma that you MUST stay relevant and your name, money and family’s wellbeing depends on you staying relevant. Awful plight.
This was such a beautiful tribute video to his last year. Thank you from someone who lost a beloved under these similar circumstances. It means a lot to see compassion and kindness in a world so cold. My brothers last words were “Be kind always-you never know what another person is battling “
Wow, thank you. This is also a similar story to others I know that have struggled in much the same way. I think many can relate to his death because of this.
Liam Payne was always handsome to me but when I saw him with Kate Cassidy he looked very skinny and unswiveled not okay he looked like he was depressed and so unhappy with Kate Cassidy I don't think Kate Cassidy was right for him.
I think he was very pure and honest... He was too kind. People like Liam are the ones who easily get mentally exhausted. I wasn't in as harsh an environment as Liam, but there were times when I felt socially isolated and wanted to die. No one saw me, no one understood me. It was so hard to live during that time. When I think that Liam, who I loved, was feeling that way, it makes me so sad that I start crying. I often regret that I didn't send him more encouragement while he was alive. Rest in peace, Liam 😢 From a Japanese fan
He would have never read it anyway. They have other people managing social media accounts. Don't feel bad. If people who knew him in person couldn't do anything, surely a stranger wouldn't have made any difference.
no matter what he had to go through in his life, he always treated his fans kindly and with warmth but those fans turned on him and ridiculed him and made fun of him, i think that's what broke him, thats so sad all he wanted was to make people happy with his music from his one direction days, its sad he died thinking all of his fans hated him. Hope he rests in peace.
I don't think that he died with this thought. He saw some of his fans at Niall concert, he saw others the day of his death taking pictures and signing autographs for them. Seeing everyone turning their back against him might have hard, really hard for him, but I think he knows these people were not his fans. When you have to deal with so much online hate, sadly you usually forget that there are people who still love you...
@@mislenemislene8588Agree. Social media can amplify one’s insecurities, especially since he was clearly depressive. R.I.P. He has now found the peace he craved.😢
A very respectful and factual recount. Would that he had settled for a calmer life, away from the spotlights- he had the money. If there is a guilty party, then it is the addiction to fame. God bless this fragile man - Rest in Peace Liam. You did achieve your goals - that is your legacy❤
My friend studying psychology told me she has learned that people going through mental health struggles need a support system to get better. it's the most vital part, and if they don't have that they can't fully recover. he deserved more and better
You don't have all the information,we don't know what went behind closed doors how many conversations he had with his family and friends how many... interventions maybe?we don't know... it's not fair to say he deserves better you are actually putting down his family and friends and it's not kind of you...
That’s a big part of recovering. But that person has to want to get better, they have to want the help first. And I believe was going to get to that eventually, but there are things bts that we don’t know. Sometimes people just lose it & start spiraling. Unfortunately his ended in tragedy. My brother was an addict since he was a teen. We always offered help but he would choose money for drugs instead food bc we couldn’t afford to supply both. He was homeless for 14 years, he eventually hit rock bottom and overdosed, he was on a ventilator with no identification so we had no idea for 24 hrs. Luckily he’s been clean for about 2 years. He couldn’t live like that anymore, and begged to be brought to a rehab facility. My point is, keep in mind that there’s always something going on that we don’t know, I feel like he needed love and acceptance and he just couldn’t find that peace. Sorry just wanted to share my take on it
What caught my attention in Liam's interviews was that he was painfully honest with his fans. He spoke openly about his health problems. Unfortunately, he was not properly understood. and haters took advantage of that. "It's like kicking a fallen person" - millions for one. Addiction is a terrible disease of the soul that destroys a person from the inside. Personality disorders appear. Liam fought all of this until the end. Before you reach for alcohol or drugs to numb the growing pain. You have to realize that you are falling into a well from which it is very difficult to get out. Liam, Rest in peace.😪🙏
Liam was a very sensitive and honest person. He was so handsome and gorgeous. Sweet and kind..Liam had an amazing, beautiful voice. I could listen to him singing for hours.
This is the problem, this man was a product to be sold, sold by his record label, sold by his girlfriend... we quantify a man's worth in dollars, pounds and sales, views and likes. We don' t know who we are without outside approval and recognition. Anyone identifies with anything, but instead of this giving people freedom, it's getting them lost and confused.
So well put. We do not know who we are without outside recognition or approval, that is why at any opportunity we as individuals must take our power back. Take a stand on our own in a variety of ways. Of course we need support in life, but a key to mental wellness is having agency and say over one's own life.
wow man this is intense. As someone who's been severely depressed (diagnosed with MDD) and on the edge a few times in my worst months, I can strongly relate to that feeling of spiralling. One bad decision leads to consequences leads to self loathing leads to more bad decisions until you hate yourself so intensely you just no longer want to exist. Watching this video almost made me feel that feeling again. Mental health is a bitch man. I got off SSRIs more than 2 years ago, I actually weened off them myself with no supervision and without telling anyone. I made the decision to get better one day. I'm not trying to paint depression as a choice. More like: you have to be really deeply CONVINCED that you want to get better. If anyone reading this is struggling with a depressed family member or partner: nothing you do or say will make them better. it has to come from within. THEY have to make that decision on their own. The number one thing is they're constantly reminded that they're loved and appreciated AND that they go to therapy. that is absolutely crucial. Therapy was game changing for me. Sorry for the rant just felt like I could relate incredibly hard man. Much love to everyone!
I hope Niall is / has gotten professional mental health support to make sure he knows he is not responsible in any way. My heart really goes out to all of them - Liam, his son, his son's mom, his parents and sisters, his girlfriend, exgirlfriend, the hotel staff who were scrambling to probably try to figure out the right thing to do to help him but all while trying to not anger a wealthy guest, etc. The ripple effect of death is just so large, especially when it's a public figure.
My step dad also fell off a 4th floor hotel balcony back in the late 80’s. He was in his room alone just like Liam. No one knows why it happened or how it happened. I can relate with Liam’s tragedy. Keep strong everyone and yes, no one is to blame
Mia and Kate are two of the worst things that ever happened to Liam. And Universal Music should never be able to make another penny from his music. All of them have his blood on their hands!
Thank you for being respectful. Let this tragedy be a reminder of the weight of our words. We can disagree with someone’s behaviors and simultaneously mourn their loss. He didn’t deserve to die. He wasn’t a monster. He made terrible decisions. He was a lost boy searching for himself. Rip.
the fact that his last confirmed words were, "I used to be in a boyband. that's why I'm so fucked up" gives me chills. it's like the tragic ending of an "a star is born" type movie. it's an absolutely heartbreaking reminder of what fame will do to you, how empty it leaves you. he was too young to know that at 17 though, and he deserved so much better.
His parents were wonderful parents. All the boys parents were excited for their boys to have a chance to be successful. None of them knew about the dark side of the industry or what they would be put through. So don't you dare put his parents down. You are so ignorant. 😡
Touring as an artist in music, dance or theatre is a lonely gig. You are at rehearsals all day. Then you go back to your hotel room alone to continue your rehearsals. Eat, try to sleep, but your mind is constantly ticking. Then repeat for weeks and weeks till opening night. You are surrounded by your cast or band the entire time during this period. Then the curtains go up and your performing every night and then going back to a hotel room alone. Nothing glamorous about it. You give your entire heart, mind, body and soul for your audience. It's a long, arduous hard slog being a performer in any genre of performing arts. When you do have a day off. Your completely knackered and stay locked up in your hotel room to recoup till the next show. Even if your in a place where you have friends or family. You simply don't have the energy to catch up at times. So sad this young man suffered so much pain in silence that he could not endure it anymore. RIP Mr Payne ❤❤❤
Imagine doctors, surgeons, nurses then… people that actually give something to society, that spend (one could even say waste) their lives helping others. There is no life, and a salary that does not match the dedication, overtime, lack of sleep, stress, huge responsibility that’s held EVERY SINGLE DAY.
@@ojj3340LIAM PAYNE DONATED LOTS OF MONEY TO CHILDREN'S HOSPITALS. ESPECIALLY CHILDREN WITH CANCER. LIAM ALSO HELP PEOPLE WHO HAD GO FUND PAGES NEEDING FINANCIAL HELP. LIAM WAS A KIND, GENEROUS, BEAUTIFUL MAN. OBVIOUSLY YOU ARE EXTREMELY JEALOUS OF LIAM BECAUSE HE WAS HANDSOME, RICH AND FAMOUS. GET OVER YOURSELF, DUDE !!
I will always defend victims of domestic abuse and domestic violence, but openly profiting off of a book about your relationship and going on a social media spree against your ex AND THEN issuing a cease and desist against THEM is crazy to me.
Feel like once you've gone through abuse you can really say whatever you want against said abuser. The cease and desist part confuses me but other than that her talking about him is not strange at all.
Yep it’s definitely strange to say the least. When it comes to abuse, people who abuse are often the ones playing victim, especially in public. I’m not saying Maya Henry is or isn’t abusive, and I’m not saying Liam is a perfect angel. But people really need to be more skeptical when someone comes out with a big “I’m the victim!” campaign. It’s sus as hell behavior and narcissists are notorious for doing such things.
Been saying this since like forever, if she were to have brought him to court anyways, why even publish that book. It just seems like a way to capitalize on the situation for me, and yet when I say this, people would say I’m defending an abuser? Like wth? Being a victim doesn’t erase all of your sins and mistakes, similar to how being dead doesn’t make you a good person
Same here. The only “airtime” my dv relationship got was in court, which wasn’t my doing. I’m sorry, but this maya seems to be an attention seeker. I really don’t want to offend anyone, but having been told his mental health was all time low, she continued, and still continues to
you don't owe your abuser silence and why should'nt you profit from a book???? Everyone else's experiences and work entitle them to, but victims should be exempt? He put his experiences in an album to profit from it! Where's the difference?? Oh yeah, none of you bought it lol And you're not defending victims now you're a Stan trying to shift blame...
Reason why liam died- 1. Internet / social media trollers 2. Drop from record label 3. Ex gf accusation like gossiping for promoting her new book release & everyone believed on what she said 4. Dr-gs 5. They escorted him to room with balcony rather calling cop directly
No. 5. Big mistake ! I worked in a hotel. What was the hotel’s staff thinking ? He had passed out in the lobby. Did they not think it was dangerous to leave him unguarded in a room with a balcony?
Mostly 4 and 5 really. He was already an addict before his hate train and the ex sharing her story. Sadly this could have happened without any of that. The hotel staff were not thinking at all in the moment of panic.
I’m ashamed to admit that I didn’t follow him or keep updated with him for a few years…. Hadn’t seen anything about him til I saw he died. I was SHOKED at first, took a few hours to fully kick in and now I’m devastated😭 he was ALWAYS my favorite boy in the band. The only good thing about not following him is that I didn’t get to see him being bullied, that would’ve pissed me tf off and made his death so much more painful… He needed help, he seemed so broken and I truly believe he took the split from his band mates the hardest. His death is soul crushing all around💔 My heart goes out to the boys and family, especially his son.🕊️ Also, there’s something shady about Maya. I don’t believe her for a second
You're not the only one... I never really followed any of them much after the split. They helped me through one of the hardest times of my life and I guess I felt betrayed. Now im just pissed off at seeing what happened to him.
Me too! I barley kept up with them. And then I saw the news and my heart broke. I remember so well how he used to build his friends up. Niall once felt i secure and he told him "Don't worry, you look good!" Drug abuse does something to a person and I believe he wasn't easy to be with but no one really knew how to be there for either. And social media is too brutal.
Omg same!!! I’m so shocked and my heart literally hearts for him. Bc I’ve been struggling too. Like why didn’t we noticed that he just wanted love and acceptance.. the internet destroys the most beautiful souls
A good representation of what we know of Liam's last year, heart breaking as it was.He battled many demons. However it seems to me at his worst he retreated & we saw little of his struggle.He brought joy to so many alongside his bandmates for 5 years, we thank him for those memories which will live forever, hopefully that will be his lasting legacy.May he RIP, much love & condolences to his family & those close to him, particularly his son Bear who he adored.
Kind people goes down, mostly the kindhearted cant take to much hate..! And what we call strong rise above that..! It is always a wake up call when a light burns out
HE said he was a people pleaser, and as you said all this time he was being guided, not by people who had anything to do with his well being as a person but rather of him as a moneymaker, he rationalized that as long as he was successful he would be happy then came the vicious cycle of using substances to cope with work and failing work because of said substances. The women he had relationships with didn't help either he threw himself onto people that didn't match his needs and lashed out when someone tried to tone him down because that reminded him of the harsh environment of top level security. I do hope he is in a better place, and that we can look into this industry with more seriousness. RIP LIam Payne.
Liam went to Argentina to renew his immigration papers (O1 Visa) at a US embassy. His visa was first denied due to him admitting that he was dealing with drugs and alcohol. That’s why the trip went from 5 days to 2 weeks. He needed more documentation for his visa. He was supposed to pick up his visa on Thursday (the next day after his death) and leave to Florida on Friday. While he was over there in Argentina, he went to Niall’s concert.
This is the best account I have seen online to date. Very well rounded, clearly researched, and respectful and like so many others I feel incredibly sad for ALL of those who loved him, in whatever capacity. Liam rest now but more importantly, may everybody whose lives he touched, I hope they also find peace. x
I know an addict when i see one, don't mean to be rude but Liam is obviously constantly high on crack or meth. I can easily recognize the strange behaviour, the lost look in his eyes and his sweaty face. I lost more than one friend to this crap, sad to see this happen to Liam
16:56 - he was forced to stay there longer because he was having visa issues and couldn't leave until he got a dr/psych clearance because of his d**g history. He was scheduled to get his extension from the embassy 2 days after he passed. Allegedly, Kate was fed up with waiting around for Liam and decided to leave without him, which explains why he was so angry with her the day she left :-(
I heard this, and reports said he must have been clean before this day because he needed a drug test before entering the US, but it’s quite clear he was intoxicated throughout this trip.
@@tribuuneOr could it have been withdrawal symptoms? Delirium tremens: hallucinations, confusion, shaking, shivering, etc. usually 3 days after withdrawal from alcohol.
would imagine the Kate that she’s with him while ago would know that he has substance abuse situation? I don’t know how comfortable he would be with people doing drugs or alcohol around him I would imagine he probably want to partake.. it’s just such an incredible sad situation
turns out Kate gave him an ultimatum: her or the drugs, he chose the drugs (one of his last wishes was 7g of cocaine) and that's why she decided to fly back to the US
I initially didn’t want to click on the vid as I have seen alot of this type of videos who try to capitalize on someone’s death in a disrespectful manner. But luckily, yours didn’t do that, and truly is a reflection of Liam’s life and it’s ups and downs in the recent years. Thank you for doing this. Hopefully Liam will understands how he does matter and that this place does have a place for him, despite what the hate comments led him to believe.
No matter what happened between them, there’s surely no need for Maya to reveal things that happened between Liam and Zayn YEARS ago. Especially when Liam was already struggling and being criticised online. Men’s mental health needs to be taken seriously! (I’m not condoning abuse but she could have healed and healed with any legal action privately.)
From what I’ve heard from her perspective, she wanted to share her experience to help other young girls her age and try to hold him accountable. Obviously he needed serious help and she was naive in her approach.
It’s so difficult as a victim. Of course this is all now in such a different light after his passing. I was in a coercive and abusive relationship myself in my early 20’s - so she should absolutely tell her experiences. It’s just a shame it all piled on him at once. Unfortunately his current gf could have asked a friend or family member to check on him. That’s what I did when I ended things with my own ex - even though things were toxic I worried about him being alone
@@tribuune If her story was even is true to begin with, as she never changed him with the claim. Before he died, plus we never got anything from Liam side. And he never came out to deny it. As far as I’m concerned that is just word against, as she has never charge him with the allegation. When he was still alive.
This video seems really fair. His behaviour wasn't perfect, but boy, is it ever easy to see why he got this way. It is often difficult to support people with some of Liam's troubles (depression, alcoholism, drug addiction), but I can't help wishing that I could've sat with him in his room that night just to try to keep him levelled. So so sad. I worry for all young people who enter the music industry. Millions of people are sad that you're no longer with us, Liam.
@@cindymaceda2999 I fully agree. I understand that Liam's behaviour would have seemed terrible to anyone who witnessed it - smashing his laptop up and swearing in reception - but we all now know that he was struggling and also under the influence of a number of substances and he needed help. I get that it's difficult to think kind and caring thoughts about someone who is being loud and aggressive, but in the ideal world, he would have received compassion and sympathy in that moment 💔
People bullied him so bad till the point he couldn’t see the future for himself and now that he’s gone they’re all acting like saints and sad f*cking disgusting
People only miss you when you die. Reailty they didn,t care for you went you alive . They talk bad about you behide your back . Like to see you fail in life .
Ask the question: Why did he do drugs? There are always reasons why people do this or do that. I want to know could he have been rescued somehow? We will never know! It's incredibly painful to watch old interviews and he said it straight to your face and nothing... People were angry over so many things, what he did (The Loghan Paul interview for example) we should be angry that they used him for clicks and gave him alcohol, when he clearly had problems with alcohol. We should all be nicer to eachother, that's the thing i will learn from it. Hope he found peace wherever he is right now. 😢
@ adnanahmed316- Many celebrities do drugs and/or drink to escape the pressures of the industry. We see the bright lights and glamour, they experience what is behind closed doors.
This whole situation makes me wanna throw up out of anxiety so bad. Poor Liam didn’t deserve this. He needed help. He prolly didn’t think he would die that day too, he was too out of his mind. Fucks me up thinking how he could’ve been saved.
Something was really going wrong over the last few months, his personality was changing. I don't know if it was mental illness or a mix with drugs and drink, the fear of rejection. It was all being played out on social media.
A very balanced video of how someone famous and fragile can spiral into self-destruction when faced with adversity. This tragedy should be a lesson to review the way mental health is approached
I think that email he received was him being dropped from his label, I do feel like that for him was the final straw of an already humiliating and traumatic series of downfalls. Including his weird and cringy interviews and podcasts he went on. I really feel for Liam as his public image took a big hit in the last couple of years but he seemed like such a nice lad and it’s tragic that this is where he’s ended up. Rip Liam
The label dropped him prior to the trip to Argentina, so that wasn't it. Also, this video misses the planned 28-day stint in rehab in July. He stayed for just 48 hours and left. I wonder why. Did his manager force him to do the Netflix show instead of staying in rehab?
I watched the entire video, but it was the end that made me share a tear. I love how compassionate you were to the three women who for sure tried to help this man but had to put boundaries to protect themselves. RIP Liam, you deserve more than a sad brain.
Devastating for his family, friends and loved ones but especially for his young son going forward. Included in this, is Cheryl. They may not have been together any longer but they were parents to their son - a shared bond and it was obvious Cheryl still cared for him and supported him and he always spoke with great respect for her.
“Millions of fans” ?? well where were all these millions of fans when he released his solo album! That broke him and made his life worse and seemingly hopeless 😢
As a One Direction fan, I have listened to all of their solo music. Everyone seemed like they were writing for themselves but Liam seemed to be making music to stay on top. Liam’s music wasn’t terrible but his music was the only one that lacked authenticity. Most of the songs on LP1 were written by other people. When he was asked if he was planning to perform in smaller venues, he was so dead set on playing in arenas. I wish the guy didn’t take life so seriously and just took the time and learned to write for himself, cause Lord knows he has an amazing and impressive voice. With the life he lived and the experiences he had, if he was just honest, honed his craft, and didn’t think about topping the charts, he could’ve very well made some impressive songs.
Addiction, especially at such an advance and destructive stage, usually leads to untimely death. And nobody can make you stop taking drugs until you decide that you really want to do that yourself and that you are willing to do EVERYTHING it takes to start recovery. People here keep blaming everybody they can think of and paint a picture of a completely powerless, kindest boy that nobody around wanted to help and this shows that so many people still don't really know how addiction works. I've been dealing with this topic for over a decade and Liam had never really started recovering, he only had very short episodes of abstinence (3 months is nothing!). I'm not blaming him either because addiction is a horrible illness that nobody wants and only a small percentage of addicts stop. But it changes people for the worse as long as they're using and pretending that everything is fine and shielding them from consequences is not helping. Also, Liam decided to be in the media after 1D and even seemed to struggle with becoming less popular so blaming people for commenting on his life, when he chose to live in public, is just ridiculous. I'm sorry he passed away but the blaming is very frustrating!
This is such a respectful way of presenting his final days. Initially, I thought this might be someone wanting to make money out of his passing but I'm glad I changed my mind. It make sense, with all the stuffs he's been going through, it's like a punch in the gut one after the other - any human would be really on the verge of thinking unimaginable things. Also, may I add there were also people talking that he was actually waiting for his visa to be renewed? What I mean to say, these things happening and on top of the thought that he might not be able to enter US again with his visa will mean he will not be able to do music or huge changes abound that he is not ready for it to happen just yet. In his head, the world hated him, there are punches everywhere thrown at him, struggle after struggle and if the life he had before he went to rehab was rock bottom, maybe this one is on another level. And to him just felt like he is the only failure among the band. Just thinking about it that these thoughts could have possibly be on his mind before he passed, is just heartbreaking. This is a gentle reminder that celebrities no matter the status they get to have or hold, they are just humans like us and they feel things too, they go through stuffs too. Sometimes, they are the ones who are really fragile and can't handle things easily. We should try to choose kindness over hate. I hope Liam find his eternal peace, he is free from pains. I'd like to believe that he sees the world through the other side right now and knew that a lot of people grieving when he passed. My heart and prayers goes to his family, son, friends, fans and all that loved him. Navigating life without him will never be the same. He is forever in my heart, he is part of my younger years. His music will live forever. RIP Liam.
It’s so easy to look at somebody’s footprints and begin making judgements, but until u walk a day in their shoes u can never understand there actions fully. Liam needs to be left to rest and his family and friends time to grieve without the vultures waiting to pick at every detail they know nothing about. ❤
He had jaw surgery...to look more masculine. But so many tattoes, acting like a bad boy, shaving his hair...all this said he didnt accept the sweet smiley good boy he always was. He was a chubby boy when very young, he never accepted his old image, he wanted and sought for constant atention. 1D was a blessing because he could help others and be together as a band, whuch was the family while entering adulthood. He needed time for himself, not fame, after 1D dissolved. Not women, luxury items and lifestyle. Just stopping and breathing, and lots of resting. Reinventing a life, making better music without record labels. Hip hop was not who he really was. He died not accepting the real Liam within. Ps I liked him better without the jaw operation. A round sweet bearded face with long hair. The hair he said it was hard to keep as he was so depressed. No Liam. You were being NORMAL. But you were obssesed with the bad boy image after 1D. So the true boy Liam would not cry too much.
The hotel should have rang an ambulance when he was struggling in the lobby. He would still be here if they did. Also reports came out that a hotel worker got him the drugs and that the reason he stayed on was because he was having VISA issues, which the day before his death he had to sort out and drug tests were clear then....allegedly anyway thats whats been reported but I guess we'll never know.
He was choosing to take drugs, if it wasn't that day, it could have been another. He was doing really poorly and if he wanted drugs he was going to get them, from who? Who knows. We weren't there, maybe he was not doing that terribly in the lobby. Those situations are pretty stressful for workers, blaming them is not helpful at all.
That gf left him by himself, saying “she didn’t like staying in one place too long” (2 weeks) & knowing he had mental issues regarding depression & substance abuse. She did not really care for him then. 😢
@XinXin-mz1dh If someone is convulsing and passing out then it doesn't matter where they are an ambulance should have been rang then when he was in the Lobby.
@cindymaceda2999 I do agree but he also had Visa issues so he had to stay on. The day before he had a drug test for that and it came up clear. That's what's reported anyway ...who knows really.
Liam Payne's Tragic Journey: Fame, Demons, and the Toll of Pressure Reflecting on Liam Payne's final year, it's heartbreaking to see how a series of unfortunate events and relentless pressures led to such a tragic end. The video by tribunne paints a vivid picture of a young man who, despite his fame and success, struggled immensely with personal demons and external pressures. Liam's journey through health crises, career setbacks, and tumultuous relationships highlights the often unseen toll that fame can take on an individual. The constant scrutiny and public ridicule he faced would be overwhelming for anyone, let alone someone already battling mental health issues. It's a stark reminder of the human side of celebrities, who, despite their public personas, are vulnerable and fragile. One of the most poignant aspects of Liam's story is his turn to drugs as a means of escape. This decision, while understandable given his circumstances, ultimately led to his downfall. It's a tragic example of how substance abuse can spiral out of control, exacerbating existing issues and leading to devastating consequences. The incident in Buenos Aires seems to have been a critical turning point. It's painful to think that if things had gone differently, Liam might have found a way to turn his life around. Instead, he found himself at a dead end, with his mental health deteriorating rapidly. Despite the tragedy, it's important to remember the joy and inspiration Liam brought to millions of fans around the world. His time with One Direction was a period of extraordinary success and happiness, both for him and for those who followed his career. While his life was cut short, he left behind a legacy that will not be forgotten. My heart goes out to Liam's family and friends during this incredibly difficult time. They deserve all the support and compassion we can offer. May Liam rest in peace, and may his story serve as a reminder of the importance of mental health and the need for compassion in the face of public scrutiny. 🕯❤️🕊 PS: The video’s conclusion is spot on. Regardless of the circumstances, this is a tragedy that affects everyone involved.
He was clearly fucked up and reaching a breaking point. We all sort of saw it, and we all sort of ignored it. It seems far more obvious in hindsight. Poor Liam. Everyone let him down.
I agree with you. Kate was just an empty vessel with no heart and no soul. She didn't even cry at Liam's Funeral. Harry, Louis and Zayn were all crying at the Funeral. But nope. Not Kate. That's a red flag right there.
I feel bad for him too, he didn’t deserve the hate that he got. I wish he disappear for from public eye for long, just for him to focusing on himself. For to him get better and raising his son. As I would rather have him, not doing any thing music related. Not seeing him alive ever again, it sad that he was so much pain in his life. Before his tragic death😢
What "cringe worthy gaffes?" I'm the past few years, he was incredibly honest in his interviews and spoke intelligently of his experiences and struggles. None of this was cringe-worthy.
in tears... we all grew up and moved beyond our 1D phases... i forgot how much one direction shaped my childhood and teens. rest in peace payno. you will always be a huge part of my growing up years
His ex-girlfriend shouldn't have exposed their past relationship. She did it on purpose and it's her fault... She knew his behavior and knew he wasn't well. There's no excuse for someone who wants to make money selling books by badmouthing someone else... and she used him to become popular. Disgusting!
Exactly, she did that on purpose to her and destroy Liam. I think she really cared about him, she was aware about him mental health and suicide state. She wouldn’t have some symphony not to go hard on him knowing, he had health problems and he was in a bad state before his timely death. But I nothing but fame and fortune making money out of him, why else would she posted everything on the Internet for the world to see. And some of her claim doesn’t make sense, like he was calling her multiple times for help. Then hit him with a some sort of straining order for him to stop calling her, or take his suicide attempt as a manipulation and still continue to say a lot of unnecessary things. As far as her story about me being the bad person and abuser in their relationship , it’s just for words and she had never shown any proof had or nor changed him with the claim. When he was still alive before his tragic.
21:15 The part I didn't know until watching this video.. so they had hotel staff enter his suite with a key once he was finally escorted back up?? Why wasn't someone there during his final moments? If they were so concerned about the balcony and had access to his room- why was he left alone in this manic/outraged state?
I think Kate Cassidy is not a model, she was a waitress before she met Liam and now she is an influencer who was showing his and her life to fans. Some things in this video are not true.
Very sad and I know the disclaimer at the end of the video but I still blame the ex for a huge percentage of this tragedy only for aggravating his state further- there was no need to give public interviews humiliating the guy and then release a book about his personal life without his permission even though it was “fictional” names, just another person trying to make money and get fame by virtue of having dated a celebrity..he will never come back now..
His ex is wealthier than him,she never needed and money or promotion.Her book was released in Marcg and he kept quiet because everything in it is truth. He didn't kill himself because of book but fall from balcony. Like he,she has a right to heal andbe able to tell what she suffered, he could hVe acknowledge his behaviours many times and take a step back but he didn't, she is victim who even tried to help after he contacted her numerous times.
it's not a revenge, it's her own experience that she is entitled to share, he was sharing many things about his own journey and drug abuse etc. she is entitled to share her journey too. He has known about the book for months - he is surrounded by yes people and if he truly attended AA he would have made the amends to everyone including ex.He didn't
No one should write a book about someone famous until they pass because it can cause them to collapse, or their career to collapse which can ruin them. Very sad.
This Maya girl was definitely in a villain revenge mode!! She was mad he was showing another girlfriend on social media and decided to punish him!! The timing is too suspicious… She was mocking him and wanted him to suffer… if she was abused by him, she was abusing him just as much ( if not more!!) she killed his character in her book!! (mocking his suicidal ideations??)
ur words doesn’t make any sense. I think u forgot that Liam kept sending messages to her and her friends. Anyway, for everything there reasons,and circumstances.
HE'S A HUMAN BEING ! HE NEEDED TO JUST LIVE LIFE OUT OF THE SPOTLIGHT BUT WAS ALWAYS BROUGHT INTO IT. HE WANTED TO COME BACK, BUT NEEDED TO JUST GO HOME TO HIS FAMILY 😢😮😢😮💔💔💔💔💔
estaba en un camino en decaída y lo peor necesitaba de todos sus amigos y familiares ..el en ese hotel solo y los demás ni lo buscaban ...tenia fama ..dinero , talento ..y al mismo tiempo NO TENIA A NADIE A SU ALREDEDOR ...le fallo la familia ,los amigos y la sociedad ..PEDIA AYUDA A GRITOS y nadie lo ayudo ,,
Liam’s death is an eye opener for me to always check on people and how much kindness and hate can impact someones life. I was watching a commentary about him 2days before he died and I feel guilty just by watching it. It is so easy for people to judge when they are not on their shoes. Poor lad has been struggling for a long time. I wish I have listened to his music and commented on his post or videos, could helped him feel more loved and supported. His death really teaches me to always always be kind because we don’t know what other people are going through. Rest in peace Liam 😢
It is known that Liam was in the lobby of the hotel acting erratically and in an uncontrollable combative drug and alcohol induced state, in which hotel staff had to physically take him to his room, right? The autopsy also revealed that he was unconscious when his body impacted the ground where he landed. That he died instantly due to multiple craniel fractures and internal and external bleeding from the impact, and that due to his state of unconsciousness, there aren't any defensive injuries present, like there normally would be in a state of consciousness. So if he was unconscious when he hit the floor, doesn't that mean he was unconscious when his body went over the balcony? Well there you go, he can't jump a balcony or fall off of a balcony if he is already unconscious. So that leaves me with only one possibility..... and that is that he was probably combative with the hotel staff that took him back to his room, there was a scuffle of some kind, his head was impacted with an object that made him unconscious, the guy or guys panicked and threw him over the balcony, and nonchalantly went back to the lobby and pretended like nothing had happened and then proceeded to call 911 and started the cover up by asking for an ambulance because they were very concerned about his mental state and safety, in particular about his room having a balcony and him going over it. They did'nt ask for police, they asked for an ambulance, because they knew he was already hurt and likely dead!!!!
That is a pretty wild theory. Apparently he was convulsing in the lobby a little earlier. Maybe he was on the balcony and had a seizure and fell over the side?
Yeah the falling or jumping off the balcony yet him being unconscious before landing makes no sense. There is definitely more to it!! Very suspicious circumstances thats for sure!
What I don't understand is that if Liam was having a seizure IN the lobby, THAT IS WHEN EMS should have been called!!! Taking him to his room Was NOT the solution. Seizures ARE A MEDICAL EMERGENCY!!!!!!! Perhaps if the hotel staff were up on their CPR skills - or just basic Common Sense skills to observe Liam in distress, his life likely would have been saved that day!!!!!🤔🤷♀️
Well... let's think like this, what if he survives!? Didn't that become another reason to get a backlash from the people when they found out what happened at the hotel? This will become another hot topic of discussion. Another downfall for him. I can't even imagine how badly it could end. So I think God saved him from suffering anymore....💔
I’m starting to look at it that way too. If he lived. It would send his mental state to overdrive because they will Carry on from where they left off bullying him. Sadly
His death hurt me more than I expected. I've intervened with some of my own friends who were in similar situations. RIP Liam. May you find peace in the next life. 🫂
He was intoxicated 100% because he had to go through examination for his renewal of his US visa... But who the f*ck supplied him drugs in hotel...Somebody had taken advatage of him for his substantial issues..and couldn't they lock the balcony somehow or place something beneath the balcony..... 💔
He died from a fall from a third floor balcony, he was not in a good place and fighting his own personal war, I know how this feels and I'm positive that there's a lot of other humans feels like this all day every day, his family and friends are gutted and will have to fight their own personal war forever ,whatever happened that day he fell and died from a fall from a huge height,can't he and those who loves him have some peace in their lives after such a tragedy and not be picked apart by the vultures who still want to make something off this heartbreaking event, rip Liam ,only 31 and gone way too soon 💔
I'm an avid follower of the sister channel of this account dedicated to Michael Jackson and as a fan of both MJ and 1D it is chilling to watch/listen to their styled videos now geared toward our Liam.. wow. He really is gone! Feels unreal!
This video addresses a sensitive case, emphasizing the importance of not blaming individuals, especially those who were part of the person's life. It is understandable that fans seek to find someone responsible, but it is crucial to recognize that everyone faces internal struggles, and some people turn to drugs or alcohol as a way to cope with pain. Although the young man achieved fame, money, and access to a privileged lifestyle, he struggled to deal with the frustrations that arose after his band's breakup. Despite having everything, he faced difficulties in relationships and in understanding himself. I believe there are no culprits; we are responsible for our choices, even in the face of immense challenges. The tragedy that occurred could have been avoided, but it was his mental state and substance abuse that culminated in this situation. Dealing with someone facing these issues is not easy. While he received emotional and financial support, this often facilitates a life without purpose. The young man needed more caution and learning about the consequences of his actions. His inability to cope with frustrations was one of the greatest obstacles he faced.
He was undoubtedly feeling immense pressure to keep up a successful career like his former bandmates. It's too bad someone couldn't have gotten him back to rehab because that's what he needed. His son should have been his priority but his mind was too clouded by the industry and success. It's a shame no one could see he was sad and broken and unhealthy. He had enough money to take care of himself but unfortunately, addiction and mental illness issues weren't letting him think rationally. Sadly, he was all alone in this. Rest in peace, Liam.
he was a sweetheart that didn't get the recognition he deserved. I always thought he was the cutest truthfully. Inside and out, he had a good heart. as the saying goes " only the good die young" 🥺
What you said at the end is spot on. No matter who's to blame, it's a tragedy all around. RIP Liam.
Thank you! I thought it was important to say.
Who's Ya DIDDY ❓
Sooo sad 😢😢😢❤❤
I'm not even a fan but I'm heartbroken over how he was treated. Depression is an illness and should be treated as such. But everyone was treating him like some douche bag, attention seeker. He was stopped from getting out his music and had people making fun of him for literally portraying behavior that showed he needed help.
His ex-girlfriend shouldn't have exposed their past relationship. She did it on purpose and it's her fault... She knew his behavior and knew he wasn't well.
There's no excuse for someone who wants to make money selling books by badmouthing someone else... and she used him to become popular. Disgusting!
It is so kind and respectful of you to tell the story so objectively and to remind people that no one is to blame.
Thank you! The world needs a lot more kindness ❤️🩹
Only an MJ expert would do this
@meaganfernandes3096 - If no one is to blame for a 31 year old young man's death, then who is? Himself, for purchasing drugs in Argentina.
We don't know if no one is to blame. Regarding the "accident", there are a lot of things that don't make sense. Witnesses are also giving contradictory statements, same with the hotel staff. We don't know yet.
And regarding how Cowell managed them... catastrophic. He should have been a second father to them, treated them like actual sons. They should have gotten mandatory psychological therapy during their time in the band to help them cope, and should have had better time management after concerts. How are you gonna keep teenagers locked inside a room full of alcohol? They should have planned healthy activities for them. You can't use them and then forget them. They are human. They are someone's precious child.
Also his ex gf is so narcissistic.
There were many factors that contributed to his death. We love to put all blame on a single person because " they are adults " but we forget that it takes a village to raise a child and this child was failed by his family, by his friends, by his mentor, by society and ex partners. We need to have more empathy for one another, we need to care for those suffering.
They kept offering him the drugs and he kept rejecting them but they wanted to make good money so he was being accosted. It's absolutely evil to do something like that to someone who has addiction issues and was all alone while battling with so many emotional situations around him. Addiction is an illness. But being evil is worse than addiction. He wasn't human to them but simply a sack of money.
This was beautifully done. Especially the last messages - “loving someone who is dealing with complex mental and substance issues inflects its own battle wounds”. it’s clear that the rashly written hate comments over the last year have affected him a lot, as they would anyone. let’s not make the same mistake again, and be kind to those involved.
what a tragedy. I feel so sorry that he couldn’t be saved.
This is very true!
Liam did not patch things up with Zayn he wanted to but neither one of them reached out to each other..💔🌟🙏🕯🖤
@@katemitchell8249 he did! He wrote something positive on social media about his new single and Zayn thanked him for it.
Actually one of the women you mention in the video talk about Liam negatively and she always found just right time to shadow Liam positive publicity 🥺 I personally wonder if his downfall is caused by her so called fiction book and her comments about him on her social media
Someone in that hotel should of stayed with him common sense? So sad
Who could have endured all these setbacks, the public humiliation online, in the media, the pressure of his ex suing him, the pain of not existing anymore as an artist while his 'brothers' are still successful, the terrible news of his label letting him down on top of that, and so on and so on...nobody could have remained composed/in good health, I think we would have all exploded, it's way too much pressure for a human being... Though, one of Liam's biggest mistakes, actually the biggest one, was to think that drugs would help him go through it all. Once he started taking this so addictive and destructive sh....., it was all over. I do think that unfortunately, if this tragedy hadn't happened in Buenos Aires, Liam's days would have probably come to an end in the next few months elsewhere, he was in a dead end because of drugs, his mental health was a wreck. This is a terrible tragedy, we all feel so sad and sorry for this talented and handsome young man, but despite appearences, Liam probably wasn't made for this show business life, he was too fragile mentally. His life was way too short, but let's comfort ourselves by saying that he lived it fully in the way that it was literally an extraordinary life, he had the chance to live a unique experience with 1D, an incredible journey that very few on this planet have the chance to live... We won't forget him, never. May this kind Liam rest in eternal peace. All my thoughts to his poor parents/sisters/son, lots of courage/force to them...🕯❤🩹🕊
💯agreed.God bless him and his family 🙏🏻❤️
He looked like such a pure, innocent babe at 16. Kids, beware what you wish for… this is what fame does to you. It makes you paranoid & self-delusional.
Yeah you said it. This is a hell of a lot of pressure and loneliness for one person to take 😔
It's a really beautiful tribute.. I have to agree. He seemed too fragile for showbiz. He looks like he came from a very loving, close-knit family who supported all his dreams, and he was the golden boy in it. Also, it probably didn't help that he started out in first place at a super young age,they really were kids when they started. By 22, it was all over, and yet he was finally an adult with his whole life before him. He had little success, and a lot of hate, in the only life he had ever known. Seems he was the most honest out of all of them, but it did him no favours in the media. He seemed a gentle and truthful soul, and I did not understand the hate he's got most of his career
I didn't follow 1d cos I grew up in the tt and nysnc era when artist were slightly less manufactured partly. It seems they were mere babes put on a stage. Being adults while kids. Being quieter, drugs probably initially offered him courage and slowly took over. So Sad how the fame he so longed for eventually destroyed him
What a respectful way of telling a story. You didn't sensatonalize. RIP Liam Payne
Thank you! I really wanted to make sure we did everything in a very sensitive manner
It’s an AI
@@reviewyourlife5358 Is that meant to be some kind of jab? I researched, wrote and created the video.
@@tribuune okay but the voiceover is AI

Imagine being „locked“ in a Hotel room, because you can‘t go outside in the City or to the Beach because People would ALWAYS interact with you, take pics of you, wouldn‘t leave you alone, Paparazzi, and so on, so you‘re Forced to stay inside all alone, with Nothing more than your Phone, which blows up with all that hate and accusations and death threats. I don‘t think even a mentally healthy Person would handle this well.
I feel so sorry for him, Rest in Peace Liam 🕊️
Horrific!
But at the same time having the trauma that you MUST stay relevant and your name, money and family’s wellbeing depends on you staying relevant. Awful plight.

Ever since this tragedy happened I just want to be able to give this beautiful boy a hug and look after him
This was such a beautiful tribute video to his last year. Thank you from someone who lost a beloved under these similar circumstances. It means a lot to see compassion and kindness in a world so cold. My brothers last words were “Be kind always-you never know what another person is battling “
Wow, thank you. This is also a similar story to others I know that have struggled in much the same way. I think many can relate to his death because of this.
@@tribuune maybe this is a greater lesson in his passing for us all to learn #Spreadkindness

Liam Payne was always handsome to me but when I saw him with Kate Cassidy he looked very skinny and unswiveled not okay he looked like he was depressed and so unhappy with Kate Cassidy I don't think Kate Cassidy was right for him.
I hope you are doing okay 🙏
We have a saying in New Zealand. Don't kick someone when they're down. No one is perfect but this is brutal.
We say this in the uk as well
We say it in Poland too
Bro that saying is literally said in every country in the world😹
Sad that such old saying does no longer apply to most people
We say it in the Netherlands as well but we are also realistic.
I think he was very pure and honest...
He was too kind. People like Liam are the ones who easily get mentally exhausted.
I wasn't in as harsh an environment as Liam, but there were times when I felt socially isolated and wanted to die. No one saw me, no one understood me. It was so hard to live during that time. When I think that Liam, who I loved, was feeling that way, it makes me so sad that I start crying. I often regret that I didn't send him more encouragement while he was alive. Rest in peace, Liam 😢
From a Japanese fan
He would have never read it anyway. They have other people managing social media accounts. Don't feel bad. If people who knew him in person couldn't do anything, surely a stranger wouldn't have made any difference.
@@blackiesunYou don't know that. He might have.
no matter what he had to go through in his life, he always treated his fans kindly and with warmth but those fans turned on him and ridiculed him and made fun of him, i think that's what broke him, thats so sad all he wanted was to make people happy with his music from his one direction days, its sad he died thinking all of his fans hated him. Hope he rests in peace.
Yes. He treated people with kindness, but they treated him with hates and threats.
I don't think that he died with this thought. He saw some of his fans at Niall concert, he saw others the day of his death taking pictures and signing autographs for them. Seeing everyone turning their back against him might have hard, really hard for him, but I think he knows these people were not his fans. When you have to deal with so much online hate, sadly you usually forget that there are people who still love you...
@@mislenemislene8588Agree. Social media can amplify one’s insecurities, especially since he was clearly depressive. R.I.P. He has now found the peace he craved.😢
True fans didn't send hate it was the fake hypocrites
Jealous narcissistic people why they didn't promote his music that sucks he just kept getting it in the face
A very respectful and factual recount. Would that he had settled for a calmer life, away from the spotlights- he had the money. If there is a guilty party, then it is the addiction to fame. God bless this fragile man - Rest in Peace Liam. You did achieve your goals - that is your legacy❤
My friend studying psychology told me she has learned that people going through mental health struggles need a support system to get better. it's the most vital part, and if they don't have that they can't fully recover. he deserved more and better
@@mckennaaustin4595 they don't need support system but rather need problem to their solution.
You don't have all the information,we don't know what went behind closed doors how many conversations he had with his family and friends how many... interventions maybe?we don't know... it's not fair to say he deserves better you are actually putting down his family and friends and it's not kind of you...
Yes sadly he didn't have that around him
Your friend should finish their studies before opening their mouth.
That’s a big part of recovering. But that person has to want to get better, they have to want the help first. And I believe was going to get to that eventually, but there are things bts that we don’t know. Sometimes people just lose it & start spiraling. Unfortunately his ended in tragedy.
My brother was an addict since he was a teen. We always offered help but he would choose money for drugs instead food bc we couldn’t afford to supply both. He was homeless for 14 years, he eventually hit rock bottom and overdosed, he was on a ventilator with no identification so we had no idea for 24 hrs.
Luckily he’s been clean for about 2 years. He couldn’t live like that anymore, and begged to be brought to a rehab facility.
My point is, keep in mind that there’s always something going on that we don’t know, I feel like he needed love and acceptance and he just couldn’t find that peace.
Sorry just wanted to share my take on it
What caught my attention in Liam's interviews was that he was painfully honest with his fans. He spoke openly about his health problems. Unfortunately, he was not properly understood. and haters took advantage of that. "It's like kicking a fallen person" - millions for one. Addiction is a terrible disease of the soul that destroys a person from the inside. Personality disorders appear. Liam fought all of this until the end. Before you reach for alcohol or drugs to numb the growing pain. You have to realize that you are falling into a well from which it is very difficult to get out. Liam, Rest in peace.😪🙏
Shes repulsive no wonder hes irritated...look at me! Look at me! Look what im wearing! Who cares..oh my gosh
Liam was a very sensitive and honest person. He was so handsome and gorgeous. Sweet and kind..Liam had an amazing, beautiful voice. I could listen to him singing for hours.
This is the problem, this man was a product to be sold, sold by his record label, sold by his girlfriend... we quantify a man's worth in dollars, pounds and sales, views and likes. We don' t know who we are without outside approval and recognition. Anyone identifies with anything, but instead of this giving people freedom, it's getting them lost and confused.
Uh oh, they’re not gonna like this one 😬💯
Tbf, this seems to be the nature of fame for everyone? So many stars come to mind. Demi Lovato almost didn’t make it..
😓
@@h.neubert8770 Avicii, Michael Jackson, Amy Winehouse, Mattew Perry... even Elvis and Marylin...
So well put. We do not know who we are without outside recognition or approval, that is why at any opportunity we as individuals must take our power back. Take a stand on our own in a variety of ways. Of course we need support in life, but a key to mental wellness is having agency and say over one's own life.
wow man this is intense. As someone who's been severely depressed (diagnosed with MDD) and on the edge a few times in my worst months, I can strongly relate to that feeling of spiralling. One bad decision leads to consequences leads to self loathing leads to more bad decisions until you hate yourself so intensely you just no longer want to exist. Watching this video almost made me feel that feeling again. Mental health is a bitch man. I got off SSRIs more than 2 years ago, I actually weened off them myself with no supervision and without telling anyone. I made the decision to get better one day. I'm not trying to paint depression as a choice. More like: you have to be really deeply CONVINCED that you want to get better. If anyone reading this is struggling with a depressed family member or partner: nothing you do or say will make them better. it has to come from within. THEY have to make that decision on their own. The number one thing is they're constantly reminded that they're loved and appreciated AND that they go to therapy. that is absolutely crucial. Therapy was game changing for me.
Sorry for the rant just felt like I could relate incredibly hard man. Much love to everyone!
Good rant though . I get it !!
Yes! Good rant. Hopefully this helps educate people who know nothing about these illnesses.
Just imagine.
He had stadium shows.
And he was so lonely.
Incredible and so heartbreaking.
He was only lonely for the last four days of his life after Kate Cassidy left him in Argentina
I hope Niall is / has gotten professional mental health support to make sure he knows he is not responsible in any way. My heart really goes out to all of them - Liam, his son, his son's mom, his parents and sisters, his girlfriend, exgirlfriend, the hotel staff who were scrambling to probably try to figure out the right thing to do to help him but all while trying to not anger a wealthy guest, etc. The ripple effect of death is just so large, especially when it's a public figure.
LIAM PAYNE WAS MURDERED. END OF STORY 😢😢😢
@@leecarson3426agreed
My step dad also fell off a 4th floor hotel balcony back in the late 80’s. He was in his room alone just like Liam. No one knows why it happened or how it happened. I can relate with Liam’s tragedy. Keep strong everyone and yes, no one is to blame
I fell from a height at home but survived. I fell four floors which is higher than Liam Payne, but survived.

Mia and Kate are two of the worst things that ever happened to Liam. And Universal Music should never be able to make another penny from his music. All of them have his blood on their hands!
Thank you for being respectful. Let this tragedy be a reminder of the weight of our words. We can disagree with someone’s behaviors and simultaneously mourn their loss. He didn’t deserve to die. He wasn’t a monster. He made terrible decisions. He was a lost boy searching for himself. Rip.
the fact that his last confirmed words were, "I used to be in a boyband. that's why I'm so fucked up" gives me chills. it's like the tragic ending of an "a star is born" type movie. it's an absolutely heartbreaking reminder of what fame will do to you, how empty it leaves you. he was too young to know that at 17 though, and he deserved so much better.
He deserved parents that would think twice before allowing him to be in a boy band.
Maybe he wasn't the right person for the fame
His parents were wonderful parents. All the boys parents were excited for their boys to have a chance to be successful. None of them knew about the dark side of the industry or what they would be put through. So don't you dare put his parents down. You are so ignorant. 😡
Best summary I've seen so far, if this all happened to him in the past year I feel so sorry for him, that was awful
Thank you! It was tragic researching for this video.
Touring as an artist in music, dance or theatre is a lonely gig. You are at rehearsals all day. Then you go back to your hotel room alone to continue your rehearsals. Eat, try to sleep, but your mind is constantly ticking. Then repeat for weeks and weeks till opening night. You are surrounded by your cast or band the entire time during this period. Then the curtains go up and your performing every night and then going back to a hotel room alone.
Nothing glamorous about it. You give your entire heart, mind, body and soul for your audience.
It's a long, arduous hard slog being a performer in any genre of performing arts.
When you do have a day off. Your completely knackered and stay locked up in your hotel room to recoup till the next show. Even if your in a place where you have friends or family. You simply don't have the energy to catch up at times. So sad this young man suffered so much pain in silence that he could not endure it anymore. RIP Mr Payne ❤❤❤
Imagine doctors, surgeons, nurses then… people that actually give something to society, that spend (one could even say waste) their lives helping others. There is no life, and a salary that does not match the dedication, overtime, lack of sleep, stress, huge responsibility that’s held EVERY SINGLE DAY.
@@ojj3340LIAM PAYNE DONATED LOTS OF MONEY TO CHILDREN'S HOSPITALS. ESPECIALLY CHILDREN WITH CANCER. LIAM ALSO HELP PEOPLE WHO HAD GO FUND PAGES NEEDING FINANCIAL HELP. LIAM WAS A KIND, GENEROUS, BEAUTIFUL MAN. OBVIOUSLY YOU ARE EXTREMELY JEALOUS OF LIAM BECAUSE HE WAS HANDSOME, RICH AND FAMOUS. GET OVER YOURSELF, DUDE !!
I will always defend victims of domestic abuse and domestic violence, but openly profiting off of a book about your relationship and going on a social media spree against your ex AND THEN issuing a cease and desist against THEM is crazy to me.
Feel like once you've gone through abuse you can really say whatever you want against said abuser. The cease and desist part confuses me but other than that her talking about him is not strange at all.
Yep it’s definitely strange to say the least. When it comes to abuse, people who abuse are often the ones playing victim, especially in public. I’m not saying Maya Henry is or isn’t abusive, and I’m not saying Liam is a perfect angel. But people really need to be more skeptical when someone comes out with a big “I’m the victim!” campaign. It’s sus as hell behavior and narcissists are notorious for doing such things.
Been saying this since like forever, if she were to have brought him to court anyways, why even publish that book. It just seems like a way to capitalize on the situation for me, and yet when I say this, people would say I’m defending an abuser? Like wth? Being a victim doesn’t erase all of your sins and mistakes, similar to how being dead doesn’t make you a good person
Same here. The only “airtime” my dv relationship got was in court, which wasn’t my doing. I’m sorry, but this maya seems to be an attention seeker. I really don’t want to offend anyone, but having been told his mental health was all time low, she continued, and still continues to
you don't owe your abuser silence and why should'nt you profit from a book???? Everyone else's experiences and work entitle them to, but victims should be exempt? He put his experiences in an album to profit from it! Where's the difference?? Oh yeah, none of you bought it lol
And you're not defending victims now you're a Stan trying to shift blame...
Reason why liam died-
1. Internet / social media trollers
2. Drop from record label
3. Ex gf accusation like gossiping for promoting her new book release & everyone believed on what she said
4. Dr-gs
5. They escorted him to room with balcony rather calling cop directly
and the band mates not being involved enough
No. 5. Big mistake ! I worked in a hotel. What was the hotel’s staff thinking ? He had passed out in the lobby. Did they not think it was dangerous to leave him unguarded in a room with a balcony?
The 5th one should be taken seriously coz maybe it could have been someone elser than liam
Mostly 4 and 5 really. He was already an addict before his hate train and the ex sharing her story. Sadly this could have happened without any of that. The hotel staff were not thinking at all in the moment of panic.
Sadly, he was an addict. We may never know if he took his own life or not. Drugs and clearly depression were a huge toll on him.
I’m ashamed to admit that I didn’t follow him or keep updated with him for a few years…. Hadn’t seen anything about him til I saw he died. I was SHOKED at first, took a few hours to fully kick in and now I’m devastated😭 he was ALWAYS my favorite boy in the band.
The only good thing about not following him is that I didn’t get to see him being bullied, that would’ve pissed me tf off and made his death so much more painful…
He needed help, he seemed so broken and I truly believe he took the split from his band mates the hardest. His death is soul crushing all around💔
My heart goes out to the boys and family, especially his son.🕊️
Also, there’s something shady about Maya. I don’t believe her for a second
And his current blow up doll of a girlfriend. Good grief. Poor guy needed a decent lady.
@@jodyw7935Jessica Rabbit?
You're not the only one... I never really followed any of them much after the split. They helped me through one of the hardest times of my life and I guess I felt betrayed.
Now im just pissed off at seeing what happened to him.
Me too! I barley kept up with them. And then I saw the news and my heart broke. I remember so well how he used to build his friends up. Niall once felt i secure and he told him "Don't worry, you look good!" Drug abuse does something to a person and I believe he wasn't easy to be with but no one really knew how to be there for either. And social media is too brutal.
Omg same!!! I’m so shocked and my heart literally hearts for him. Bc I’ve been struggling too.
Like why didn’t we noticed that he just wanted love and acceptance.. the internet destroys the most beautiful souls
A good representation of what we know of Liam's last year, heart breaking as it was.He battled many demons. However it seems to me at his worst he retreated & we saw little of his struggle.He brought joy to so many alongside his bandmates for 5 years, we thank him for those memories which will live forever, hopefully that will be his lasting legacy.May he RIP, much love & condolences to his family & those close to him, particularly his son Bear who he adored.
Kind people goes down, mostly the kindhearted cant take to much hate..! And what we call strong rise above that..! It is always a wake up call when a light burns out
He had potential and deserved redemption. It was very unfortunate he chose that path that led to his failed career.
he passed through with so much since early 2023. OMG. RIP Liam.. you are such a kind person in the world. we love you and god bless you ..
HE said he was a people pleaser, and as you said all this time he was being guided, not by people who had anything to do with his well being as a person but rather of him as a moneymaker, he rationalized that as long as he was successful he would be happy then came the vicious cycle of using substances to cope with work and failing work because of said substances.
The women he had relationships with didn't help either he threw himself onto people that didn't match his needs and lashed out when someone tried to tone him down because that reminded him of the harsh environment of top level security.
I do hope he is in a better place, and that we can look into this industry with more seriousness.
RIP LIam Payne.
Liam went to Argentina to renew his immigration papers (O1 Visa) at a US embassy. His visa was first denied due to him admitting that he was dealing with drugs and alcohol. That’s why the trip went from 5 days to 2 weeks. He needed more documentation for his visa. He was supposed to pick up his visa on Thursday (the next day after his death) and leave to Florida on Friday. While he was over there in Argentina, he went to Niall’s concert.
Multiple medias and sources confirmed this.
Thank you!
Maybe the email that upset him was not good news from the embassy
@@Wonderfulmaker1 very well could have been
@@Wonderfulmaker1That very well could drive someone off his rocker.
This is the best account I have seen online to date. Very well rounded, clearly researched, and respectful and like so many others I feel incredibly sad for ALL of those who loved him, in whatever capacity. Liam rest now but more importantly, may everybody whose lives he touched, I hope they also find peace. x
I know an addict when i see one, don't mean to be rude but Liam is obviously constantly high on crack or meth. I can easily recognize the strange behaviour, the lost look in his eyes and his sweaty face. I lost more than one friend to this crap, sad to see this happen to Liam
For me, it was the way he talked, endless and hypomanic
16:56 - he was forced to stay there longer because he was having visa issues and couldn't leave until he got a dr/psych clearance because of his d**g history. He was scheduled to get his extension from the embassy 2 days after he passed. Allegedly, Kate was fed up with waiting around for Liam and decided to leave without him, which explains why he was so angry with her the day she left :-(
I heard this, and reports said he must have been clean before this day because he needed a drug test before entering the US, but it’s quite clear he was intoxicated throughout this trip.
@@tribuuneOr could it have been withdrawal symptoms? Delirium tremens: hallucinations, confusion, shaking, shivering, etc. usually 3 days after withdrawal from alcohol.
would imagine the Kate that she’s with him while ago would know that he has substance abuse situation? I don’t know how comfortable he would be with people doing drugs or alcohol around him I would imagine he probably want to partake.. it’s just such an incredible sad situation
He was given drugs by hotel staff.
turns out Kate gave him an ultimatum: her or the drugs, he chose the drugs (one of his last wishes was 7g of cocaine) and that's why she decided to fly back to the US
I initially didn’t want to click on the vid as I have seen alot of this type of videos who try to capitalize on someone’s death in a disrespectful manner. But luckily, yours didn’t do that, and truly is a reflection of Liam’s life and it’s ups and downs in the recent years. Thank you for doing this. Hopefully Liam will understands how he does matter and that this place does have a place for him, despite what the hate comments led him to believe.
Thank you! So many just cashing in on the sensationalism without trying to understand the person behind the headlines
The best video about Liam Payne death. Well done.... My respects to all Payne family. RIP
Thank you!
No matter what happened between them, there’s surely no need for Maya to reveal things that happened between Liam and Zayn YEARS ago. Especially when Liam was already struggling and being criticised online. Men’s mental health needs to be taken seriously! (I’m not condoning abuse but she could have healed and healed with any legal action privately.)
She wanted fame and money
From what I’ve heard from her perspective, she wanted to share her experience to help other young girls her age and try to hold him accountable. Obviously he needed serious help and she was naive in her approach.
@@tribuune it's both she will help she will heal and get millions if this works out not just book sales but a lifetime film and book tour
It’s so difficult as a victim. Of course this is all now in such a different light after his passing. I was in a coercive and abusive relationship myself in my early 20’s - so she should absolutely tell her experiences. It’s just a shame it all piled on him at once. Unfortunately his current gf could have asked a friend or family member to check on him. That’s what I did when I ended things with my own ex - even though things were toxic I worried about him being alone
@@tribuune If her story was even is true to begin with, as she never changed him with the claim.
Before he died, plus we never got anything from Liam side. And he never came out to deny it.
As far as I’m concerned that is just word against, as she has never charge him with the allegation. When he was still alive.
This video seems really fair. His behaviour wasn't perfect, but boy, is it ever easy to see why he got this way. It is often difficult to support people with some of Liam's troubles (depression, alcoholism, drug addiction), but I can't help wishing that I could've sat with him in his room that night just to try to keep him levelled. So so sad. I worry for all young people who enter the music industry. Millions of people are sad that you're no longer with us, Liam.
The hotel manager should have called a doctor. He could have needed sedation if he was going through delirium tremens. I worked in the hotel industry.
@@cindymaceda2999 I fully agree. I understand that Liam's behaviour would have seemed terrible to anyone who witnessed it - smashing his laptop up and swearing in reception - but we all now know that he was struggling and also under the influence of a number of substances and he needed help. I get that it's difficult to think kind and caring thoughts about someone who is being loud and aggressive, but in the ideal world, he would have received compassion and sympathy in that moment 💔
@@jamesf8864I still believe he had potential and deserved redemption, it was unfortunate that he chose that path
@@sertiana2512 Absolutely 🙏🏻
Many celebrities could get away with controversy and allegations. But the pressure was too much for him to handle.
Sadly he was probably incredibly insecure, that’s why he had the jaw implants when he was already handsome. Sad 😢 RIP
He obviously wanted to look more mature...:(
To me he was the cutest member of the band he did not need any work done,Liam was cute.
Sorry, he was never handsome.
Well done. Thank you. Rest In Paradise dear Liam Payne. 💔
People bullied him so bad till the point he couldn’t see the future for himself and now that he’s gone they’re all acting like saints and sad f*cking disgusting
People only miss you when you die. Reailty they didn,t care for you went you alive . They talk bad about you behide your back . Like to see you fail in life .
Don't do drugs people
Or alcohol
And still they do lol
Ask the question: Why did he do drugs?
There are always reasons why people do this or do that.
I want to know could he have been rescued somehow?
We will never know!
It's incredibly painful to watch old interviews and he said it straight to your face and nothing...
People were angry over so many things, what he did (The Loghan Paul interview for example) we should be angry that they used him for clicks and gave him alcohol, when he clearly had problems with alcohol.
We should all be nicer to eachother, that's the thing i will learn from it.
Hope he found peace wherever he is right now. 😢
So cigarette@@wsh0001
@ adnanahmed316- Many celebrities do drugs and/or drink to escape the pressures of the industry. We see the bright lights and glamour, they experience what is behind closed doors.
This whole situation makes me wanna throw up out of anxiety so bad. Poor Liam didn’t deserve this. He needed help. He prolly didn’t think he would die that day too, he was too out of his mind. Fucks me up thinking how he could’ve been saved.
I wish Liam knew how much he was loved🙏It's just sad how he was blinded by all the negative things happening in his life. Rest in peace Liam🕊️
Everyone deserves the chance to better themselves and fix their mistakes. Because everyone makes mistakes. He deserved a future
Something was really going wrong over the last few months, his personality was changing. I don't know if it was mental illness or a mix with drugs and drink, the fear of rejection. It was all being played out on social media.
He change a lot during 2023~2024
A very balanced video of how someone famous and fragile can spiral into self-destruction when faced with adversity. This tragedy should be a lesson to review the way mental health is approached
I think that email he received was him being dropped from his label, I do feel like that for him was the final straw of an already humiliating and traumatic series of downfalls. Including his weird and cringy interviews and podcasts he went on. I really feel for Liam as his public image took a big hit in the last couple of years but he seemed like such a nice lad and it’s tragic that this is where he’s ended up. Rip Liam
The label dropped him prior to the trip to Argentina, so that wasn't it. Also, this video misses the planned 28-day stint in rehab in July. He stayed for just 48 hours and left. I wonder why. Did his manager force him to do the Netflix show instead of staying in rehab?
I watched the entire video, but it was the end that made me share a tear. I love how compassionate you were to the three women who for sure tried to help this man but had to put boundaries to protect themselves. RIP Liam, you deserve more than a sad brain.
Devastating for his family, friends and loved ones but especially for his young son going forward. Included in this, is Cheryl. They may not have been together any longer but they were parents to their son - a shared bond and it was obvious Cheryl still cared for him and supported him and he always spoke with great respect for her.
🙏😥Liam Payne 😢🙏In Loving Memory Of Liam Payne 💔😭💔😢💔😥💔😫💔😩he Foreve In Our hearts 💕
He fights his own battle and no one bother to help him.I'm so sorry Liam for what happened to you.
“Millions of fans” ?? well where were all these millions of fans when he released his solo album! That broke him and made his life worse and seemingly hopeless 😢
In my country no one actually really knows him. Only One Direction. So idk he wasn’t that famous tbh.
As a One Direction fan, I have listened to all of their solo music. Everyone seemed like they were writing for themselves but Liam seemed to be making music to stay on top. Liam’s music wasn’t terrible but his music was the only one that lacked authenticity. Most of the songs on LP1 were written by other people. When he was asked if he was planning to perform in smaller venues, he was so dead set on playing in arenas. I wish the guy didn’t take life so seriously and just took the time and learned to write for himself, cause Lord knows he has an amazing and impressive voice. With the life he lived and the experiences he had, if he was just honest, honed his craft, and didn’t think about topping the charts, he could’ve very well made some impressive songs.
You can't blame anyone for not liking someone's music.... it's a totally subjective thing ..
Addiction, especially at such an advance and destructive stage, usually leads to untimely death. And nobody can make you stop taking drugs until you decide that you really want to do that yourself and that you are willing to do EVERYTHING it takes to start recovery. People here keep blaming everybody they can think of and paint a picture of a completely powerless, kindest boy that nobody around wanted to help and this shows that so many people still don't really know how addiction works. I've been dealing with this topic for over a decade and Liam had never really started recovering, he only had very short episodes of abstinence (3 months is nothing!). I'm not blaming him either because addiction is a horrible illness that nobody wants and only a small percentage of addicts stop. But it changes people for the worse as long as they're using and pretending that everything is fine and shielding them from consequences is not helping. Also, Liam decided to be in the media after 1D and even seemed to struggle with becoming less popular so blaming people for commenting on his life, when he chose to live in public, is just ridiculous. I'm sorry he passed away but the blaming is very frustrating!
This is such a respectful way of presenting his final days. Initially, I thought this might be someone wanting to make money out of his passing but I'm glad I changed my mind. It make sense, with all the stuffs he's been going through, it's like a punch in the gut one after the other - any human would be really on the verge of thinking unimaginable things. Also, may I add there were also people talking that he was actually waiting for his visa to be renewed? What I mean to say, these things happening and on top of the thought that he might not be able to enter US again with his visa will mean he will not be able to do music or huge changes abound that he is not ready for it to happen just yet. In his head, the world hated him, there are punches everywhere thrown at him, struggle after struggle and if the life he had before he went to rehab was rock bottom, maybe this one is on another level. And to him just felt like he is the only failure among the band. Just thinking about it that these thoughts could have possibly be on his mind before he passed, is just heartbreaking. This is a gentle reminder that celebrities no matter the status they get to have or hold, they are just humans like us and they feel things too, they go through stuffs too. Sometimes, they are the ones who are really fragile and can't handle things easily. We should try to choose kindness over hate. I hope Liam find his eternal peace, he is free from pains. I'd like to believe that he sees the world through the other side right now and knew that a lot of people grieving when he passed. My heart and prayers goes to his family, son, friends, fans and all that loved him. Navigating life without him will never be the same. He is forever in my heart, he is part of my younger years. His music will live forever. RIP Liam.
It’s so easy to look at somebody’s footprints and begin making judgements, but until u walk a day in their shoes u can never understand there actions fully. Liam needs to be left to rest and his family and friends time to grieve without the vultures waiting to pick at every detail they know nothing about. ❤
He had jaw surgery...to look more masculine. But so many tattoes, acting like a bad boy, shaving his hair...all this said he didnt accept the sweet smiley good boy he always was. He was a chubby boy when very young, he never accepted his old image, he wanted and sought for constant atention. 1D was a blessing because he could help others and be together as a band, whuch was the family while entering adulthood. He needed time for himself, not fame, after 1D dissolved. Not women, luxury items and lifestyle. Just stopping and breathing, and lots of resting. Reinventing a life, making better music without record labels. Hip hop was not who he really was. He died not accepting the real Liam within. Ps I liked him better without the jaw operation. A round sweet bearded face with long hair. The hair he said it was hard to keep as he was so depressed. No Liam. You were being NORMAL. But you were obssesed with the bad boy image after 1D. So the true boy Liam would not cry too much.
We have all been rock bottom sometime in our lives please respect 🙏 Liam and he's family and son bear 🐻 😢rip Liam Dawn prior 😢😊
The hotel should have rang an ambulance when he was struggling in the lobby. He would still be here if they did. Also reports came out that a hotel worker got him the drugs and that the reason he stayed on was because he was having VISA issues, which the day before his death he had to sort out and drug tests were clear then....allegedly anyway thats whats been reported but I guess we'll never know.
He was choosing to take drugs, if it wasn't that day, it could have been another. He was doing really poorly and if he wanted drugs he was going to get them, from who? Who knows. We weren't there, maybe he was not doing that terribly in the lobby. Those situations are pretty stressful for workers, blaming them is not helpful at all.
i mean it was claimed that a hotel worker gave him drugs that day. And as a big hotel why didnt they call the ambulance when he fainted in the lobby?
That gf left him by himself, saying “she didn’t like staying in one place too long” (2 weeks) & knowing he had mental issues regarding depression & substance abuse. She did not really care for him then. 😢
@XinXin-mz1dh If someone is convulsing and passing out then it doesn't matter where they are an ambulance should have been rang then when he was in the Lobby.
@cindymaceda2999 I do agree but he also had Visa issues so he had to stay on. The day before he had a drug test for that and it came up clear. That's what's reported anyway ...who knows really.
Yes but his record company has a lot to answer for, I really hope they don't profit from his death.
Liam Payne's Tragic Journey: Fame, Demons, and the Toll of Pressure
Reflecting on Liam Payne's final year, it's heartbreaking to see how a series of unfortunate events and relentless pressures led to such a tragic end. The video by tribunne paints a vivid picture of a young man who, despite his fame and success, struggled immensely with personal demons and external pressures.
Liam's journey through health crises, career setbacks, and tumultuous relationships highlights the often unseen toll that fame can take on an individual. The constant scrutiny and public ridicule he faced would be overwhelming for anyone, let alone someone already battling mental health issues. It's a stark reminder of the human side of celebrities, who, despite their public personas, are vulnerable and fragile.
One of the most poignant aspects of Liam's story is his turn to drugs as a means of escape. This decision, while understandable given his circumstances, ultimately led to his downfall. It's a tragic example of how substance abuse can spiral out of control, exacerbating existing issues and leading to devastating consequences.
The incident in Buenos Aires seems to have been a critical turning point. It's painful to think that if things had gone differently, Liam might have found a way to turn his life around. Instead, he found himself at a dead end, with his mental health deteriorating rapidly.
Despite the tragedy, it's important to remember the joy and inspiration Liam brought to millions of fans around the world. His time with One Direction was a period of extraordinary success and happiness, both for him and for those who followed his career. While his life was cut short, he left behind a legacy that will not be forgotten.
My heart goes out to Liam's family and friends during this incredibly difficult time. They deserve all the support and compassion we can offer. May Liam rest in peace, and may his story serve as a reminder of the importance of mental health and the need for compassion in the face of public scrutiny. 🕯❤️🕊
PS: The video’s conclusion is spot on. Regardless of the circumstances, this is a tragedy that affects everyone involved.
He was clearly fucked up and reaching a breaking point. We all sort of saw it, and we all sort of ignored it. It seems far more obvious in hindsight. Poor Liam. Everyone let him down.
I'm sorry but his girlfriend is super cringe
So was he
Superficial as f

I agree with you. Kate was just an empty vessel with no heart and no soul. She didn't even cry at Liam's Funeral. Harry, Louis and Zayn were all crying at the Funeral. But nope. Not Kate. That's a red flag right there.
I feel sorry for what you feel Liam.. I just wish that I could hug the man and remind him that he’s loved.. 🥺
I feel bad for him too, he didn’t deserve the hate that he got.
I wish he disappear for from public eye for long, just for him to focusing on himself. For to him get better and raising his son.
As I would rather have him, not doing any thing music related. Not seeing him alive ever again, it sad that he was so much pain in his life.
Before his tragic death😢
This is nicely done, very respectful, facts-centered and with a great message at the end. Be kind one another should be a rule. RIP Liam Payne.
What "cringe worthy gaffes?" I'm the past few years, he was incredibly honest in his interviews and spoke intelligently of his experiences and struggles. None of this was cringe-worthy.
He was cringy as hell, let’s not lie now.
@@mattb6704No he wasn't. 😡
I think she was Not the right Person for him. Shes Just about Outfits and Money 😢i think He didnt See Sense in life
RIP Liam, rest easy now.
in tears... we all grew up and moved beyond our 1D phases... i forgot how much one direction shaped my childhood and teens. rest in peace payno. you will always be a huge part of my growing up years
His ex-girlfriend shouldn't have exposed their past relationship. She did it on purpose and it's her fault... She knew his behavior and knew he wasn't well.
There's no excuse for someone who wants to make money selling books by badmouthing someone else... and she used him to become popular. Disgusting!
Exactly, she did that on purpose to her and destroy Liam. I think she really cared about him, she was aware about him mental health and suicide state.
She wouldn’t have some symphony not to go hard on him knowing, he had health problems and he was in a bad state before his timely death.
But I nothing but fame and fortune making money out of him, why else would she posted everything on the Internet for the world to see.
And some of her claim doesn’t make sense, like he was calling her multiple times for help. Then hit him with a some sort of straining order for him to stop calling her, or take his suicide attempt as a manipulation and still continue to say a lot of unnecessary things.
As far as her story about me being the bad person and abuser in their relationship , it’s just for words and she had never shown any proof had or nor changed him with the claim.
When he was still alive before his tragic.
Her father is a multi millionaire, so she certainly did not need to make any money…
He was gone too soon. 😢🎉
Total agree at the end. TPWK with loves. ! Liam will be forever missed!
"I used to be in a boyband. That's why I'm so f**cked up" Sad but true, rip💔
21:15 The part I didn't know until watching this video.. so they had hotel staff enter his suite with a key once he was finally escorted back up?? Why wasn't someone there during his final moments? If they were so concerned about the balcony and had access to his room- why was he left alone in this manic/outraged state?
All so terribly sad .
Nicely put together video . 😢
God Bless him, and his son and family . 🙏🏻
I think Kate Cassidy is not a model, she was a waitress before she met Liam and now she is an influencer who was showing his and her life to fans. Some things in this video are not true.
RIP … SO MANY child stars end up messed up …
Love the loving words at the end ❤
Verry well made , calming voice , i think very informative , thank you! Rest in peace bright eyes 🥺❤️
Thank you! 🙏
Shame on her, she knew he was not doing well. Y did kate leave him alone. Maybe, get him help. NOT GOOD GIRLFRIENDS
Shame on his parents, he wasn’t an orphan.
Very sad and I know the disclaimer at the end of the video but I still blame the ex for a huge percentage of this tragedy only for aggravating his state further- there was no need to give public interviews humiliating the guy and then release a book about his personal life without his permission even though it was “fictional” names, just another person trying to make money and get fame by virtue of having dated a celebrity..he will never come back now..
Yes there was… FOR MONEYYYY. FOR SELFISH GAIN. That’s the reason. And it’s a sick one
His ex is wealthier than him,she never needed and money or promotion.Her book was released in Marcg and he kept quiet because everything in it is truth. He didn't kill himself because of book but fall from balcony. Like he,she has a right to heal andbe able to tell what she suffered, he could hVe acknowledge his behaviours many times and take a step back but he didn't, she is victim who even tried to help after he contacted her numerous times.
@@juliabewsher3277Still it was a cruel, selfish thing to publish someone’s scandals for revenge. How does she feel now ? Better?
Yes sadly true😢
it's not a revenge, it's her own experience that she is entitled to share, he was sharing many things about his own journey and drug abuse etc. she is entitled to share her journey too. He has known about the book for months - he is surrounded by yes people and if he truly attended AA he would have made the amends to everyone including ex.He didn't
No one should write a book about someone famous until they pass because it can cause them to collapse, or their career to collapse which can ruin them. Very sad.
And nobody should stalk somebody and the friends
It's a fictional book come on....
Maybe in another life liam love you so much buddy ❤️🩹🕊
This Maya girl was definitely in a villain revenge mode!! She was mad he was showing another girlfriend on social media and decided to punish him!! The timing is too suspicious… She was mocking him and wanted him to suffer… if she was abused by him, she was abusing him just as much ( if not more!!) she killed his character in her book!! (mocking his suicidal ideations??)
Nasty girl......his ex....
Yeah, probably.
ur words doesn’t make any sense. I think u forgot that Liam kept sending messages to her and her friends. Anyway, for everything there reasons,and circumstances.
He stalked her 😅. Don’t pretend he is a saint just because he is dead now.
@@NourKLIYou believe everything a woman says?
Rest easy Liam thanks for all the memories along the way brotha a childhood legend gone too soon💯💯🙏🏼🌹🕊️♥️
HE'S A HUMAN BEING ! HE NEEDED TO JUST LIVE LIFE OUT OF THE SPOTLIGHT BUT WAS ALWAYS BROUGHT INTO IT. HE WANTED TO COME BACK, BUT NEEDED TO JUST GO HOME TO HIS FAMILY 😢😮😢😮💔💔💔💔💔
estaba en un camino en decaída y lo peor necesitaba de todos sus amigos y familiares ..el en ese hotel solo y los demás ni lo buscaban ...tenia fama ..dinero , talento ..y al mismo tiempo NO TENIA A NADIE A SU ALREDEDOR ...le fallo la familia ,los amigos y la sociedad ..PEDIA AYUDA A GRITOS y nadie lo ayudo ,,
He was such a lovely boy. I wish he was in a better place, people and relationships. RIP boy I remember you from Xfactor❤
He was 31 so wasn’t a boy.
@ojj3340 for most of us we met him first time when he was still a boy.
Liam’s death is an eye opener for me to always check on people and how much kindness and hate can impact someones life. I was watching a commentary about him 2days before he died and I feel guilty just by watching it. It is so easy for people to judge when they are not on their shoes. Poor lad has been struggling for a long time. I wish I have listened to his music and commented on his post or videos, could helped him feel more loved and supported. His death really teaches me to always always be kind because we don’t know what other people are going through. Rest in peace Liam 😢
It is known that Liam was in the lobby of the hotel acting erratically and in an uncontrollable combative drug and alcohol induced state, in which hotel staff had to physically take him to his room, right? The autopsy also revealed that he was unconscious when his body impacted the ground where he landed. That he died instantly due to multiple craniel fractures and internal and external bleeding from the impact, and that due to his state of unconsciousness, there aren't any defensive injuries present, like there normally would be in a state of consciousness.
So if he was unconscious when he hit the floor, doesn't that mean he was unconscious when his body went over the balcony? Well there you go, he can't jump a balcony or fall off of a balcony if he is already unconscious. So that leaves me with only one possibility..... and that is that he was probably combative with the hotel staff that took him back to his room, there was a scuffle of some kind, his head was impacted with an object that made him unconscious, the guy or guys panicked and threw him over the balcony, and nonchalantly went back to the lobby and pretended like nothing had happened and then proceeded to call 911 and started the cover up by asking for an ambulance because they were very concerned about his mental state and safety, in particular about his room having a balcony and him going over it. They did'nt ask for police, they asked for an ambulance, because they knew he was already hurt and likely dead!!!!
That is a pretty wild theory. Apparently he was convulsing in the lobby a little earlier. Maybe he was on the balcony and had a seizure and fell over the side?
Yeah the falling or jumping off the balcony yet him being unconscious before landing makes no sense. There is definitely more to it!!
Very suspicious circumstances thats for sure!
What I don't understand is that if Liam was having a seizure IN the lobby, THAT IS WHEN EMS should have been called!!! Taking him to his room Was NOT the solution. Seizures ARE A MEDICAL EMERGENCY!!!!!!! Perhaps if the hotel staff were up on their CPR skills - or just basic Common Sense skills to observe Liam in distress, his life likely would have been saved that day!!!!!🤔🤷♀️
Well... let's think like this, what if he survives!? Didn't that become another reason to get a backlash from the people when they found out what happened at the hotel? This will become another hot topic of discussion. Another downfall for him. I can't even imagine how badly it could end. So I think God saved him from suffering anymore....💔
I’m starting to look at it that way too. If he lived. It would send his mental state to overdrive because they will
Carry on from where they left off bullying him. Sadly
I will miss him forever, he was part of my life and ill remember everything that his music did for me and my younger self
His death hurt me more than I expected. I've intervened with some of my own friends who were in similar situations. RIP Liam. May you find peace in the next life. 🫂
He was intoxicated 100% because he had to go through examination for his renewal of his US visa... But who the f*ck supplied him drugs in hotel...Somebody had taken advatage of him for his substantial issues..and couldn't they lock the balcony somehow or place something beneath the balcony..... 💔
The hotel should investigate if their employees are being suspected of supplying him with drugs. This could be manslaughter.
His parents should pursue this because they know their son had done rehab and been sober.
He passed his visa renewal. He was clean. The results came back on the Tuesday, day before his death.
Condolences to liams family & cherly and his beloved son bear. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You mean the cradle snatcher
He died from a fall from a third floor balcony, he was not in a good place and fighting his own personal war, I know how this feels and I'm positive that there's a lot of other humans feels like this all day every day, his family and friends are gutted and will have to fight their own personal war forever ,whatever happened that day he fell and died from a fall from a huge height,can't he and those who loves him have some peace in their lives after such a tragedy and not be picked apart by the vultures who still want to make something off this heartbreaking event, rip Liam ,only 31 and gone way too soon 💔
teardrops is a truly amazing song and it's a crime that it wasn't more successful.
I'm an avid follower of the sister channel of this account dedicated to Michael Jackson and as a fan of both MJ and 1D it is chilling to watch/listen to their styled videos now geared toward our Liam.. wow. He really is gone! Feels unreal!
This video addresses a sensitive case, emphasizing the importance of not blaming individuals, especially those who were part of the person's life. It is understandable that fans seek to find someone responsible, but it is crucial to recognize that everyone faces internal struggles, and some people turn to drugs or alcohol as a way to cope with pain.
Although the young man achieved fame, money, and access to a privileged lifestyle, he struggled to deal with the frustrations that arose after his band's breakup. Despite having everything, he faced difficulties in relationships and in understanding himself.
I believe there are no culprits; we are responsible for our choices, even in the face of immense challenges. The tragedy that occurred could have been avoided, but it was his mental state and substance abuse that culminated in this situation. Dealing with someone facing these issues is not easy. While he received emotional and financial support, this often facilitates a life without purpose.
The young man needed more caution and learning about the consequences of his actions. His inability to cope with frustrations was one of the greatest obstacles he faced.
He was undoubtedly feeling immense pressure to keep up a successful career like his former bandmates. It's too bad someone couldn't have gotten him back to rehab because that's what he needed. His son should have been his priority but his mind was too clouded by the industry and success. It's a shame no one could see he was sad and broken and unhealthy. He had enough money to take care of himself but unfortunately, addiction and mental illness issues weren't letting him think rationally. Sadly, he was all alone in this. Rest in peace, Liam.
he was a sweetheart that didn't get the recognition he deserved. I always thought he was the cutest truthfully. Inside and out, he had a good heart. as the saying goes " only the good die young" 🥺
