One Direction #7 Spaces between them

[Rosa34]

I see Louis’s family flew back to the uk. I hope he still has people around him, I can’t imagine how difficult this must be for him.

I didn’t see Lottie, didn’t realise she went … glad they were all well supported, must have been insanely hard. So much water under the bridge with Zayn too. Felt he handled it very well and probably has apologised for some of his behaviour as he seems really reflective these days and more self aware. He was speaking with Louis very early on x

I saw it on Tik tok, didn’t recognise who was with her though. Hopefully Zayn and Louis can make peace, they are both more mature now and have gained more perspective on things.. they were so close before, would be lovely if became closer again.

I definitely get the sense that whatever happened prior, it was a deeply regretful snap decision made under the influence. I could actually believe it was "misadventure" rather than suicide just because of how completely random the circumstances are

OBSESSED

Harry and Niall were at the same show together in America a few years back too. How lovely

 

[gossipgirlxxo]

Can’t help but think Harry chose the wrong picture to post 🫣

 

[SaLou]

Do you think the rest of the 1D boys will acknowledge his passing. I know they were estranged but seeing all the old footage makes me think there must be some small bond there?

I definitely think they will. They must all be very shocked right now even if they weren't close to him.

Been on holiday for most of the past 3 weeks, was absolutely stunned to hear about Liam - I got the news very early in the morning where I was so it took a good 7-8 hours later until it started breaking in the UK, and I couldn't talk to anyone about it in real life! As a big 1D fan I knew he had been troubled in the past few years and always fell on the side of feeling pity for him rather than disgust or anything, and I never thought anything like this would happen. The very least I hoped for was that it wasn't suicide, but it seems with the amount of drugs he was on, it's possible that would have killed him eventually. 1D gave me so much happiness and seeing their renaissance on social media this week has been a little silver lining. RIP Liam.

The fact he hasn't sued means it's true also. If I were him, I'd retire somewhere out of public eye. It's changed my whole opinion of him.

I think he'll try and pivot to doing shows like Strictly or I'm A Celeb soon as part of an image rehab. He followed Louis around on his tour when Maya's book was published to overshadow headlines about it so there's a strategy behind him. I think he craves fame and attention too much to give it up completely even though he shouldn't have a career. Realistically I doubt a label will fund another album release for him so the only opportunities he has are releasing singles to diminishing returns, or wait for a 1d reunion, which doesn't seem like it'll happen. Maya said he was jealous of Harry and I don't see that changing much.

The words and the meaning behind them are far more important than the photo if I’m honest he chose one of Liam solo purely to make the entire post about Liam

when’s it going to stop hurting

The past year whenever I have seen videos of Liam I found it so bizarre because he was nothing like I remembered him. Whenever I see videos and pictures of the other boys although they’re older they still have the same mannerisms and personality etc and it was obvious this was because he was high/intoxicated.

I think since Liam was hospitalised last year he’s been on a greater downhill spiral and I just can’t believe how it has ended, it is beyond tragic. To think everyone regarded him as the sensible one who didn’t drink and this is how his life has ended? He had so so much to live for and I just wish he could’ve overcome his demons

I have seen the full pictures of him and in my opinion I had a much worse image in my head… the pictures are very sad but it was almost a relief to see them and not wonder what had become of him. He looked peaceful but also looked nothing like the Liam we all remember.

I feel sick to know that the whole world is able to see photos of him at his most vulnerable point and we watched it all play out unable to help. The video of his dad on the balcony with Paul is absolutely heartbreaking and I really hope that his funeral is invite only, small, private and unpublicised and that he is cremated and his parents have his ashes at home. He deserves some peace away from the public eye finally.
---
Also to add I saw an interview clip from a couple years ago where he was asked what he wanted to be remembered for, and ultimately he said he wanted to be remembered for being kind. And that is how I will remember him, even in the months and days leading up to his death when he was clearly struggling so much he was nothing but friendly to fans and he was adored by his friends and family.

Any issues people had with Liam were as a result of his addiction/mental health and I truly believe he would never have caused any harm or upset to people sober/well. The photos from the hotel room of the drugs and the claims of him having 2 escorts with him that day I don’t read as seedy or as a disgusting man as I usually would. I see it as self destructive behaviour and that he didn’t want to be alone. There have been so many stories of what he said and did in the lead up to his death and I don’t know what to believe. Sorry for the longgg posts I just have so many thoughts in my head and no one to speak to about them that would understand from a 1D fan perspective

This is just perfect. I honestly feel like you've taken the words I couldn't word...
I want every directioner to see this

 

[Momobeano]

Why aren’t they close? was there an incident or just growing apart?
So sad to see the photos of today.

Zain’s departure wasn’t on the best of terms.
Louis also got into a Twitter spat with him. Zayn didn’t show up to Louis’ X Factor performance for his Mom, which was a sore spot with Louis.

Niall seemed to get along with everyone. Harry seemed to be the friendliest with Niall. Louis and Liam were the closest. Liam and Harry seemed to have drifted apart.

 

[GingerSquid]

He does look terrible here he’s been dining out on his bone structure for years now, but it’s not enough and his lifestyle has caught up. Same as Robbie Williams who dined out on those eyes for years, but then suddenly looked way older than he was. Drugs age you, and fags and booze!

 

[randomusername12354]

I just came across them too someone wrote a post righfully criticising tmz but then a weirdo in the replies asked where to find them and someone replied to them with them, so I literally just came across them scrolling wtf is wrong with people.

Me too it’s absolutely disgusting 🥲

That poor man in his last moments and still had a camera shoved in his face

 

[sparklingdee]

I still laugh at Liam saying his shite song did the best out of all the solo careers lmfao

 

[Ab1267]

Harry's will be the last to post but I know it's going to actually break my heart reading it

 

[Rosa34]

Quick recap!
•Harry’s on his break but was rumoured to be in the recording studio this week!
• Niall’s tour starts in less than 2 weeks after not touring for almost 6 years!
• Louis is still on tour and will be until the back end of the year.
• Some horrible stories have come out about Zayn in the last few days. We send our love to all the people that were hurt.
• Liam is releasing his new single on the 1st of March. We wish him well.
That’s all I think. As you were..

Louis was looking gorgeous at the Euros final! Agreed, a pic of them together with Ed or something would have been amazing, but alas not to be.
