TRAGEDY –
October 16, 2024 – He rose to fame as a singer and songwriter for the British group One Direction, one of the best-selling boy bands of all time, and died after falling from the 3rd floor of a hotel in Buenos Aires on Wed.
The temptations that came with fame took a toll on his mental health, which he described in a 2023 video posted to his YouTube account about his decision to stop drinking. “I kind of became somebody who I didn’t really recognize anymore. And I’m sure you guys didn’t either,” he said.
He explained that he had spent 100 days in a rehab facility in Louisiana. “It’s good to be in this position,” he said. “I definitely don’t need those things anymore. The party’s over.”
