    The rag that is TMZ published identifying pictures of his body, for the world to see and speculate, minutes after Argentine officials released information. Before his family could even process or hear about his passing, hundreds of thousands have probably seen his tattoo identifying his corpse/body. Sick.

    Tragic but not surprising. The man was a fallen star in the sense that the rest of his One Direction bandmates had left him behind. He wasn’t headlining shows. His hairline was disappearing and there were rumours about everything from drug addictions to abusive behaviour to inappropriate interactions with young fans.

    Something like this was bound to happen. RIP.

  3. I was listening to a girl group & it made me think of 1 direction, the minute before my friend told me this news. Really didn’t expect to see something like this today & I guess we have to wait & see what official reports say about the CoD.

    Crazy that he already has a ‘Death’ section on Wikipedia.

    I don’t know why but I just find that so disturbing.

  5. Unfortunately what happened to him was terrible and I don’t wish that upon anybody but that is what you get when you become famous you want to be seen as perfect in public and have a good reputation in front of millions of people. Plus drugs and alcohol are added on top of that because a lot celebrities can’t handle the fame and attention and this leads to suicidal thoughts, mental breakdowns and illness and by using drugs and alcohol, its a coping mechanism to escape reality.

    I read online that he was behaving erratic in the hotel lobby and they found a smash laptop plus smashed TV in his hotel room. Also they found prescription drugs and cocaine in his hotel room.

    This is desperately sad news. 31 far, far too young. One Direction was such an iconic band in its day and Liam Payne seemed like a nice bloke. Rest in peace

    I weirdly watched a Stephen Tries video this morning about how cringey he is. I feel guilty about that now.

  8. Christ, the memory of watching them compete on X-Factor is still fresh in my memory, and their music was everywhere for years.

    RIP.

  9. Another young musician with mental health and addiction problems dies young – after being groomed. Cheryl Cole has blood on her hands. A vile person.
