"you're so funny" thanks i survived two members of my favorite band who used to be best friends have a public fallout and then reconnect years later after another member of the band died
I don’t have a great grasp of time in general but the fact Walls was released 5 years is crazy to me!
I remember release day vividly, everything still felt so speculative back then, I had no idea what to expect. I feel really proud of the record looking back!
Apparently the boys made a conscious effort to not be seen as a four so press couldn’t make it about one direction (even tho still are) but it melts my heart that they made sure the day was about Liam
“And you would never have seen it. I’m very good at hiding it. No one would ever have seen it.” - Liam Payne
When we were on X Factor in 2010, we were groomed, conditioned, and bound by contracts to stay silent; in not so many words, we were expected to put SyCo and the other companies involved above our own well-being.
We weren’t “allowed” to see our NHS GPs if we were struggling. Those in need of care were instead shuttled off—often under blankets—to the show’s private doctor, Dr. Sophia Khalique, who had been involved with the company for years. I had my own experience in her office involving medication, which led to me collapsing later in the evening with no real help offered—just a push to go outside and face the waiting cameras as we were ‘filming’.
The conditioning, “media training,” hypnotherapy, and tapping exercises became so deeply ingrained in all of us, that we all began to lose ourselves, becoming shells of who we once were. This left vulnerable young people exposed to industry vultures, unable to reach out for the help we truly needed, still to this present day.
We followed the rules. We repeated, “we are just so grateful for the opportunity.” But the dark reality is this: these companies stole people’s voices, stripped their identities, and left behind nothing but poor, unfortunate souls.

such a sunken heart feeling, my thoughts are with his family, partner, and the other 1D guys, and all of you. I feel at times I had a front row seat back in the day to watching Liam light up lives with his performances with the band. Gone to soon. This is just horrible
We can't believe this has to be said but stop going to Liam's house as well as his family's house. Just the fact that people have looked for the addresses is beyond disrespectful but actually going there is unbelievable.
Let his family mourn in peace and privacy. And being aware that his house is close to his son's and yet, still going there is disgusting. Imagine the poor little boy seeing this?
Please be respectful, if you need to say goodbye, go to a fan-made memorial. But leave his and his relative's houses alone. STOP going there.
FUCK TMZ. liam’s sister and likely whole family finding out from the press before being properly informed is disgusting. i can’t possibly begin to imagine opening my phone to a picture of my brother’s de@d body on the news. TMZ shouldn’t be allowed to exist im so fucking serious
people can't say that all the hate and harassment liam got on the internet had no impact on him, when absolutely ALL of his family and friends mention in their tributes how the world failed him, how people could have been kinder, more caring.
