The death of Liam Payne was a tragic loss for his loved ones, the music industry and a generation whose youth was defined by his music; so why is it—despite greater awareness of addiction and mental health than ever—we still fail to respectfully navigate celebrity death s?
It’s no secret that social media is toxic, and even Payne’s former heartthrob status couldn’t protect him from becoming somewhat of a meme in recent years. A recording of Liam performing his 2019 single Strip That Down went viral for a slightly goofy dance routine, as did clips of interviews where he seemed to speak in multiple accents; despite his best efforts to return to public life, he had been christened as “cringe”, by his once adoring fans.
Social media became home to distasteful jokes and unsubstantiated “theories” surrounding Payne’s death that would eventually become headlines. The news cycle was churning out stories so fast, that Liam Payne’s sister found out about her brother’s passing through a notification from a news app.was made by Cheryl Tweedy, with whom Payne had a son in 2017, pleading for the media to “give Liam the little dignity he has left in the wake of his death”.
