I took an interest in One Direction because our granddaughter used to love them. I was sorry to hear of the death of this young man.

So sad to hear. Many fans will be devastated quite apart from his family and friends.

Goodness - what a shock!

So very sad for Cheryl Cole and their son Bear.

mae13 what an unnecessary comment.

What a sad and tragic end to a young man. I wish his family and very young son all the best to get through their grief and the press intrusion that has already started.

The Argentinian police have supposedly released the gory details of his injuries. How disgusting and unnecessary. His poor lad will be able to read all this in coming years.

How desperately sad for his family. I hope he is at peace now.

How sad to lose one so young, a talented young man who I followed when he was in One Direction, RIP, young man.

Very sad, especially for his child. early fame can often be a double edge sword lives don't always pan out that well for some.

Only 31 a great Shame.

Very sad, especially for his family and friends, and fans too.

We really don't need to be told the gory details. Nor do we need to delve into his torrid private life and his state of mind.
In the early days, and do not take this as gossiping, my tiny memory is hearing him play football with his bandmates in the neighbouring garden. During their downtime, they were just normal carefree young lads, like anyone else's son.

I am shocked. RIP.

Such sad news RIP

Babs03 Thu 17-Oct-24 07:48:47

So sad, just a young man with his whole future ahead of him.
Thoughts are with his family and friends.
🥺

Very sad indeed, taken far too soon, whatever the cause, and sad for his young son and his family

GrannyGravy13 Thu 17-Oct-24 08:05:52

Such an unnecessary early demise for a talented young man with so much to live for.

My thoughts are with his family, friends and young son.

RIP Liam 💐

A tragedy - my thoughts are with his family and friends. Such sad news. I remember his audition on tv.

Maggiemaybe Thu 17-Oct-24 08:28:54

Very sad. And just dreadful that details were released so quickly that many of his family and friends must have heard the news via the media instead of being told in person.

FriedGreenTomatoes2 Thu 17-Oct-24 08:49:45

Very sad indeed.
“The Story of My Life” a favourite song.
RIP Liam. Your torment is no more.

Lisaangel10 Thu 17-Oct-24 09:04:03

Sadly another avoidable death. The recent photos of him show his eyes looking dead. Terribly sad for his young son. May he Rest in Peace now.

FriedGreenTomatoes2 Thu 17-Oct-24 19:41:35

What is really sad too is Liam was worth in excess of $70 million. Wealth of such proportions and yet (like others before him) he couldn’t find happiness or meaning in his life.

M0nica Thu 17-Oct-24 20:51:48

A tragedy for his family and personal friends without a doubt.

Otherwise just another rich popstar dying from an excess of drugs and/or alcohol.

LOUISA1523 Thu 17-Oct-24 21:24:13

Very very sad

Visgir1 Thu 17-Oct-24 21:37:44

Sad for his family.. But it was awful that pictures appeared of him dead and the state of his room on Social media before allegedly his family were told.
So Reddit reported, thankfully it's been taken down now.
