Let me be clear upfront.
We don’t know what happened to Liam Payne this week.
Yes, we sadly know that the 31-year-old singer plummeted to his death from the three-story balcony of his Buenos Aires hotel room.
But beyond that?
I can’t say for sure if Payne will. intentionally It is important to keep this in mind when considering this tragedy.
This is important to remember considering what Sharon Osbourne had to say in the wake of Payne’s death.
“Liam, my heart is broken. We all let you down,” the former X Factor judge wrote on social media, stressing that Payne’s death was the music world’s fault.
“Where was this industry when you needed them? You were just a kid when you entered one of the toughest industries in the world. Who was in your corner?”
Payne had been in Argentina since early October.
He and his One Direction co-stars were active from 2010 to 2016 and have sold more than 70 million records, including “What Makes You Beautiful,” “Night Changes” and “Story of My.” They topped the charts with hit songs such as “Life”.
Payne made her debut as a solo singer with “Strip That Down” in 2017, after One Direction announced an indefinite hiatus after paying tribute to Liam this week. Released their debut album “LP1” in 2019.
But over the past few days it has become clear that something is wrong with Liam Payne.
An autopsy report from Argentina’s National Criminal and Correctional Prosecutor’s Office determined that the artist died from “multiple traumas” and “internal and external bleeding” after suffering fatal injuries in a fall.
The files state that hotel staff had called 911 just minutes earlier and offered assistance to an anonymous guest who was allegedly “under the influence of drugs and alcohol and had destroyed several items in the room.” What you were looking for is recorded.
Local police reportedly found destroyed objects and furniture inside Payne’s hotel room, as well as substances that “at first glance and pending confirmation from experts” appeared to be drugs or alcoholic beverages. It is said that he did.
It is estimated that the injuries sustained by Mr Payne in the incident meant that he “did not take reflexive positions to protect himself and may have fallen into a semi- or fully unconscious state”.
It’s very sad all around.
On Friday, Simon Cowell also released a statement regarding Liam Payne’s death.
“You don’t really know how you feel about someone until a moment like this happens,” Cowell, who signed One Direction to Psycho Records a few years ago, said on Instagram.
“Liam, I am truly shocked. I am heartbroken. And I feel empty. And I want you to know how much love and respect I have for you. All the tears I shed are memories of you.
“It’s very difficult to explain this in words right now. I went out today and remembered the many times we spent together.
“I just wanted to say what I always say to the thousands of people who ask me all the time: Who are you, Liam? And I say to them, you’re kind, you’re funny, you’re sweet. I want to tell you that you were thoughtful, talented, humble, and focused. And how much love you had for your fans.”
Cowell concluded:
Liam, I see the impact you have had on so many people. Because you left us too soon. Rest in peace my friend. And I send my love, thoughts and prayers to your family.
