Reports indicate that Geoff Payne, father of the late Liam Payne, attempted to persuade his son to enter a psychiatric treatment center months before the singer's death. Liam Payne, known for his time with One Direction, tragically passed away at the age of 31 after a fall from a balcony in Buenos Aires in October 2024.
Following Liam's hospitalization in April 2024 for a 'serious condition,' Geoff reportedly intervened, urging his son to seek treatment. However, sources claim Liam refused his father's request. It's also alleged that Liam's team expressed concerns about him touring South America, believing he was not in a suitable condition for travel.
Furthermore, it's been reported that Universal Republic allegedly dropped Liam a month before his death, citing concerns for his health and missed promotional opportunities for his single. A source stated that the label decided to terminate the working relationship due to these factors.
The news follows emotional statements from Liam's partner, Kate Cassidy, who shared her grief and gratitude for the support she has received. She expressed how much she misses Liam and cherishes the memories they created together.
