Liam Payne suffered a devastating setback to his music career just days prior to his death, as it is claimed his record label Universal Music made the difficult decision to cancel his contract ahead of his second album
Liam Payne suffered a heartbreaking setback to his music career just days before his death, when the solo singer was dropped by his record label Universal Music, it has been claimed.
Under their management he released one solo album LP1 in 2019, however it failed to dazzle audiences with many reviews of the album mixed to negative, with much of the criticism stemming from the fact that Liam’s album lacked a distinct identity. The album peaked at number 17 on the UK album chart, but left the Top 50 the following week.
The unexpected blow to Liam’s career in the lead up to his death was just one of several setbacks to befall the star in recent weeks, with his own publicist having resigned earlier this month leaving him without any publicity relations to guide him through a turbulent few weeks. In the wake of Liam’s death fans and famous faces alike have taken to social media to share their grief over the much loved performer’s passing, including his former One Direction bandmates. In a joint statement shared on Thursday evening, Louis Tomlinson, Harry Styles and Zayn Malik expressed their “devastation” writing “In time, and when everyone is able to, there will be more to say,' they said.
“He was warm, supportive and incredibly loving. The years we spent together will forever remain among the most cherished years of my life. I will miss him always, my lovely friend.”
