Liam Payne opened up about his health over the years leading up to his untimely death. The late English singer and former member of the group One Direction passed away at the age of 31 in October 2024, and fans are struggling with the tragic loss. In light of the shocking news, Hollywood Life has compiled everything Liam shared about his mental and physical health.
At the beginning of Liam’s career with One Direction, he struggled with addiction and alcoholism, which he recalled during a 2021 interview on the podcast «The CEO’s Diary». The late singer of «Strip That Down» remembered «pills and alcohol», - as well as his «moments of suicidal thoughts».
«There are things that I definitely never talked about», - Liam said. «It was really, really, really serious. It was a problem».
Liam even admitted that on the «day the group ended», - he was grateful and added, «I know a lot of people will be mad at me for this, but I needed to stop, otherwise it would kill me». He clarified, recalling moments when he turned to alcohol during the peak of One Direction’s popularity.
«In the group, the best way to protect us, because of how big we had become, was just to lock us in our rooms», - Liam said, describing his state of mind at the time. «What's in the room? Mini-bar. So, at a certain point, I thought I’d just have a party for one, and that lasted many years of my life. Then you look back at how long you’ve been drinking and say, 'God, this is a long time.'»
In 2023, Liam announced that he was suffering from a kidney infection in a video on Instagram. He looked extremely upset when he told fans that he needed to postpone the tour. «I've been a bit ill lately, and I’ve been in the hospital with a serious kidney infection. We started rehearsals, and I was just advised that now is not the best time to be on the road, trying to recover from this», - he said in the video.
Talking about his illness, he described how painful the infection was in the caption of his Instagram post. «Last week I was in the hospital with a serious kidney infection, it’s something I wouldn’t wish on anyone, and the doctors said I need to rest and recover now», - he wrote at the time.
Although Liam did not provide many details or specifics about his infection, it can be very serious, especially when the kidneys are involved. This can lead to permanent organ damage or a more serious infection, according to the Mayo Clinic. While Liam did not describe his symptoms, some of the symptoms to watch out for include fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, and pain in the groin, back, side, or abdomen. Many of the symptoms are also related to urination, such as frequent urination, burning pain during urination, blood or pus in the urine, and cloudy or foul-smelling urine.
In July 2023, Liam shared a video on his Instagram Stories, talking about the «conditions» he had been diagnosed with, but did not specify them.
«I know in my last video I mentioned that I had been diagnosed with several conditions, and without going into details, one of them is a lot of manic things in my life that you’ve seen», - he said, briefly mentioning his journey to sobriety. «But the other side of it is when I lost my sobriety in those moments that were very low, and I felt so today».
Emphasizing that he has «a few amazing people around [him] who care about [him]», - the artist of «What Makes You Beautiful» admitted that sometimes he was not «real» in certain moments.
Reports say that Liam passed away after falling from the third floor of his hotel room in Buenos Aires in October 2024. It is unclear what caused his fall.
