Obviously not my type of music but for anyone who had a daughter/granddaughter who were fans at the time of their success this will come as a huge shock. The more that comes out about how the band were managed at the time the sadder it gets, to live your entire youth in the public eye must have been extreme (despite most youngsters craving that life).
Payne, from the English city of Wolverhampton, was only 14 years old when he first auditioned for “The X Factor.” In 2010, Payne, then 16, returned for his second audition, which would lead to the formation of One Direction.
Payne spoke openly about his struggles with substance abuse and his mental health.
Payne said on “The Diary of a CEO” podcast in 2021 that him and his band members were often “locked in our rooms” due to their popularity, which led him to drink and “have a party for one – and that just seemed to carry on throughout many years of my life.”
How is that any way to treat a youngster no matter how 'popular' or 'money making' they are.
..... despite the fact that a lot of people crave that life, I don't think they have any idea exactly what it's like.
I'm pretty sure it would be considered as 'Child Abuse' for under 18's
My youngest daughter hasn;t been able to go to Uni today 'coz she was so upset, and my eldest daughter, who has seen them twice in Concert has been heartbroken, and felt extremely down and upset all day .........
Absolute tragedy
RIP Liam ....keep the Angels entertained
........ and thank you for the memories you've given me, and especially my Family
Absolutely gutted to hear about the passing of Paul DiAnno. The 2 albums he sang on Iron Maiden and Killers are still some of the bands best work some 40 plus years later.
Tarzan is dead......Ron Ely death: Tarzan star with tragic family history dies......... who played Tarzan in an NBC television series from 1966 to 1968, has died. He was 86.
Tributes pour in for Alastair Down after death aged 68
I saw this earlier..... very sad news...... especially as he was interviewed on Racing from Cheltenham just last weekend, where they opened a Bar in his name. I must admit he didn't look very well
RIP to one of the very best 'Scribes' ......certainly in Horse Racing
Second Bee Gees drummer dies days after Colin Petersen Dennis Bryon, former Bee Gees drummer who played with the band between 1974 to 1980, has died. He was 76.

But their early work is more to my taste. Did see the Band Di'Anno back in the late-80s. Seriously loud.
Geoff Capes, British shot put record holder and two-time world's strongest man, has died aged 75.
Capes set the record for the furthest shot put throw by a British man with a distance of 21.68m in 1980.
In a statement, Capes' family said: "The family of Geoffrey Capes would like to announce his sad passing today, 23rd October.
"Britain's finest shot putter and twice world's strongest man."
