Lou described Liam as feeling ‘lost’
Liam passed away in Argentina on October 16, 2024, after falling from his hotel balcony.
The 31-year-old singer was on tour with his former bandmates when he tragically fell from the third floor.
During an appearance on the podcast We Need To Talk with Paul C. Brunson, Lou reflected on Liam: “I really wish I had stayed in touch with him more because he would often reach out and try to connect.”
“He always seemed quite lost, and everyone was concerned about him.”
“He was a compassionate person. Whenever he reached out to me, it was about my family or my relationship, and he wanted to know how I was doing on a deeper level.”
“After the challenges he faced in his career over the past few years, I'm not surprised he was struggling.”
“People would often ask, ‘Who's taking care of him?’”
“His friends, his girlfriend, his parents, and many others, who are not qualified to handle mental health issues.”
“There aren't many people who are, as such support systems are quite rare.”
Liam is survived by his son Bear, whom he welcomed with singer Cheryl Tweedy in March 2017, after they had been together for a year.
He rose to fame as a member of the global boyband phenomenon.
Liam first auditioned as a singer in 2008.
After being eliminated as a solo artist, he auditioned again in 2010 and was placed into a group with four other contestants to form One Direction.
The band went on to sell 70 million records globally, making them one of the most successful boybands of all time.
