My sisters friend works at Birmingham airport and apparently his dad has flown out today to bring his body back. Got escorted through the airport. He is absolutely distraught understandably.
This definitely happened. Did Liam’s dad tell your sister’s friend personally why he was flying out? Over a coffee in Pret in the departure lounge maybe? 🤔

From this evening's Popbitch newsletter:

Back in the early years of One Direction we had a Popbitch party with a special guest, a famous X Factor act. Chatting then, the one thing we were struck with was them describing how they were on the series when a 14 year-old Liam Payne first auditioned as a solo star.

Frank Sinatra-singing Liam was unsuccessful then but they struck up a friendship, so he confided in them that he kept getting told he just wasn't cool enough to be a pop star. Liam seemed to go out of his way ever since to prove with his love for drink, drugs and tattoos that it wasn't the case.

It's such a shame he didn't have the same faith in himself that some real taste-makers didEW EW. Our favourite story about Liam was that in his post-One Direction years he got into art, and started to do some drawing.

Word of his new hobby reached David Hockney's great-nephew, who kindly arranged for Liam to meet the man himself.

In advance of the meeting, Liam made a portrait of Hockney, and presented it to him when they did get to hang out.
Hockney was so taken with the result that he hung the portrait up in his house.
-------------

A close second favourite story? Liam and Cheryl stayed together publicly at the end of their relationship purely to piss off Dan Wootton, then Showbiz editor at The Sun, who had reported their break-up.

Sorry if this has been said, I’m catching up. He is disgnosed ADHD and that is why I also suffered with addiction issues. It’s incredibly common when you have adhd unfortunately, mainly if unmedicated, but the thoughts will always be there at the back of your head to self medicate.

Yeah I am ADHD myself and know the struggle, I feel you!

But I think he definitely has bipolar on top of that, he’s hinted at being manic in the past as well

ADHD also puts you at higher risk of developing bipolar. That with the fame from a young age all factors. I would expect he was in a manic episode that was made a lot worse with drugs. We can’t ever really know if it was the drugs or mental illness or a combination (combination seems very likely). Very sad and for him to die in such a spectacle and give his family no time to come to terms before the world knew. Must be so awful for his parents, child and everyone close to him.
Absolutely! I used to think I was bipolar until I got my adhd diagnosis though. I can’t even imagine how they are all feeling right now. I wasn’t a huge fan, but it’s just heartbreaking. It’ll definitely be a combination. Absolutely heartbreaking. I hope you’re all ok as well, it can trigger a lot of people when things like this happen 💚💚

Absolutely! I’ve managed to get past a lot of my addiction issues, but still not fully, I completely think that’s why he still struggled. Sending hugs to you x

Remember Eoghan Quigg? He says he wasn’t allowed a parent to accompany him to judges house because he was the ripe old age of 16. Crazy stuff. He says Liam and his Mum looked out for him.

I know this sounds a bit ridiculous, but i feel like this news has hit me hard even though I've never been a 1D fan. I think it's because my own son who is only 9 and has AuDHD is already showing signs that I think he will struggle with his mental health. i find this like this just make me so worried for what the future holds.
Sorry I couldn’t read this and not reply, but I’m so glad you know he is AuDHD at such a young age. You’re going to give him the best life and hopefully as awareness is now raising a lot more, there will be a lot of support going forward for him 💚

I can’t get over how grimy the entertainment industry is behind the glamour, and how networked it is.

It does cross my mind that the 1D men as boys may have been, or attempted to have been, Biebered by the powerful and connected. Harry Styles’ connections with the vile piglet James Corden has always made me side eye swivel.

I'm hoping it's a private cremation behind closed doors. I know the fans will want to line the route and throw roses at the hearse and show their love for him, but it will turn into a media circus, with drones and helicopters, everyone trying to get a photo of Cheryl, Bear, any of 1D, Liam's parents and sisters...it will be hell.
I’m getting Princess Diana funeral vibes. Similar to how photos were taken of her broken body by the press instead of them trying to help her. Sound familiar? Looking at you TMZ!!!

Just rumours from staff and those in the hotel and it’s sort of been confirmed by the police who have said they are looking for two women who had been with him but not in connection with his death just trying to piece the whole situation together.

I don’t know why everyone is so convinced he fell. He could easily have had enough, particularly with what his ex was doing and decided to end it. Yes he may not have been in a very good state of mind given all the drugs he’d taken but he seemed in a bad way. The recent videos of him he looked off his head and very sad too.

The rumour was there were two prostitutes and he refused to pay one of them which is where the commotion in the lobby came from and him being angry.

But some random on X has also said his manager was involved in the arranging of the prostitutes - but I don’t know if he even has one of those?

Im not convinced he fell but without any message or note or anything to anyone to say otherwise (which may still be found) then it’ll never be conclusively proved. Both are completely plausible.


ETA: should have quoted previous poster

If the prostitute story is true, god I’d bet Kate feels gross. Imagine grieving your partner to find out they’d been with prostitutes the minute you left the country.
