People aren’t mourning who Liam Payne became- they’re mourning the boy who was part of their youth, the music that defined a generation, and the memories tied to someone who once meant everything to so many (and that doesn’t take away that he was horrible in the end)
all I can imagine is 13 year old me coming home from being bullied all day to my bedroom filled with one direction posters and sitting on my bed to watch their interviews, music videos, funny moments
people are not mourning the man liam payne became, they are mourning the man he used to be and the man they grew up with. the man that was part of something that shaped millions of peoples lives.
