TanjiroKamado Posted May 19, 2023 Posted May 19, 2023 Quote Payne has been open about his struggle with alcoholism in the past. In 2019, he told Men’s Health Australia that he he struggled to keep up after the talent show “The X Factor” shot him to stardom as he became part of the massively popular boy band One Direction alongside Zayn Malik and Harry Styles. He added that he often drank before going on stage in an effort to manage the stress. “It’s almost like putting the Disney costume on before you step up on stage and underneath the Disney costume I was pissed quite a lot of the time because there was no other way to get your head around what was going on,” he said at the time. “I mean, it was fun. We had an absolute blast, but there were certain parts of it where it just got a little bit toxic.” Looking ahead, Payne told iFL TV this week that in addition to being sober, he’s also working on a new album that he’s “really excited” about. “I definitely want to tour this time. It’s just unusual because I wasn’t sure I was going to tour for a long time. I was kind of over it a little bit but I’m really excited to get back on the road and go and see all the fans,” he said. Payne was a member of boyband One Direction between 2010 and 2015 alongside Styles, Malik, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan. One Direction announced they were taking a “hiatus” in 2015. Payne later released his debut solo album in 2019 titled “LP1.” www.cnn.com/cnn/2023/05/17/entertainment/liam-payne-sober/index.html Slay
TheCheshireCat Posted May 19, 2023 Posted May 19, 2023 People were giving him a hard time while he is clearly going through it, I remember when he said he was cast as the "lead" in one direction and he was mercilessly dragged when what he said was totally true, in a post Aaron Carter world we need to be more sensitive.

Heldenzeit Posted May 19, 2023 Posted May 19, 2023 We‘re prozd of you, baby. Keep pushing through! You got this
Slap Posted May 19, 2023 Posted May 19, 2023 100 days and not a single drop of a buccal fat, congratulations king Spoiler Seriously though congratulations and good on him for taking this step.
family.guy123 Posted May 19, 2023 Posted May 19, 2023 Suddenly a tone of change from ATRL? Maybe we should treat these human beings as such from the get go. Something tells me that Amy Winehouse would’ve been treated the same by y’all if she were to come out now instead of back then.
DamianSolo Posted May 20, 2023 Posted May 20, 2023 I didn't realize he struggled with alcohol. I really like him, though, I think the album he released was actually pretty decent.
The7thStranger Posted May 20, 2023 Posted May 20, 2023 Good for him! I hope he's able to stay clean permanently.
Jotham Posted May 20, 2023 Posted May 20, 2023 I didn't know he was struggling with drinking. Congrats to him and I hope he stays well.

It's true but that's more a shameful commentary on gossip culture in general back then vs now, there's def been a change for the better as society got more 'woke' (ugh, I hate using this word bc it's been so weaponised but I hope you get what I mean). That said, anywhere that's a ruthless stan pocket online is gonna have some horrible behaviour on display eg Twitter is a cesspool
Abracadabra Posted May 20, 2023 Posted May 20, 2023 Good for him, that's a great achievement I've always thought that people have been pretty brutal to him and seemed to enjoy and relish watching him struggle when he was clearly going through it. That's so weird to me.
livelikemusic Posted May 21, 2023 Posted May 21, 2023 That's awesome he's celebrating 100 days! That's an amazing accomplishment, and hope he continues!!!
