Former X Factor star confesses he understands how Liam Payne 'spiralled out of control' in ruthless music industry that encourages you to 'never show the cracks'

As a former contestant on a popular talent show myself, I can empathize with the journey that Liam Payne took when he rose to fame as one of One Direction. However, it is truly heartbreaking to see the darker side of stardom that has seemingly swallowed him.

Former “X Factor” contestant Sean Smith shares his thoughts on the untimely death of Liam Payne, expressing that he understands how the musician seemed to struggle and lose control following his years in the music industry.

In 2007, the member of the musical duo Same Difference, who is also a singer, encountered Liam during one of their early performances that they shared with him on ITV.

Liam tragically passed away at age 31 on October 16, following a fall from a third-story balcony at the CasaSur Palermo hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

news of his unexpected demise has rippled throughout the world of music, shedding light on the intense stressors faced by emerging pop stars as they navigate the glare of public attention.

In an interview with The Sun, Sean openly acknowledged that drug use is prevalent within the industry. He also pointed out how one can quickly become entangled in this world, potentially leading to a downward spiral.

Overwhelmed by the revelation, he admitted he initially believed it was a fake report about a celebrity death: “I couldn’t fathom how someone with such immense talent, humility, and coming from an exceptional family could have passed away. It seemed unbelievable to me.

Sean gained popularity, along with his sister Sarah, during their time on The X Factor. The show’s producers paired them up to create the duo known as Same Difference, a group that specialized in bubblegum pop music.

Sean shared that he often grappled with the pressure to conform to a certain image or standard, rather than being true to himself and his imperfections.

In the realm of Same Difference, it’s perpetually bright and beautiful skies. Just as consistently, you wear a radiant grin whenever the flashbulbs pop. And in any interview setting, regardless of any imperfections or challenges, maintaining an unyielding composure and never revealing those cracks is key.

Sean remembered having a conversation with Liam on the tour bus during their travels for X Factor, where the celebrity admitted that he was selected to join a band instead of pursuing a career as a solo artist.

At the age of fourteen, Liam made his debut on X Factor and left the judges awestruck with a heartfelt performance of Frank Sinatra’s “Fly Me to the Moon.

In a robust Wolverhampton dialect, Liam openly expressed his deep love for music prior to his performance.

He mentioned that he ought to focus more on his studies, but finds himself preoccupied with the thought of singing instead,” or simply, “He confessed that while he should be studying, he can’t help but daydream about singing.

In 2010, Liam made his comeback approximately two years later, following an invitation from Simon Cowell. At first, he attempted to impress as a solo performer singing Michael Buble’s “Cry Me A River.” However, he was granted another opportunity during Bootcamp when he was chosen to be part of a group.

In this contest, he crossed paths with his future bandmates from One Direction: Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, and Louis Tomlinson. Remarkably, they placed third in the competition, yet they went on to become one of the most prominent pop groups worldwide.

The autopsy results indicated that Payne passed away as a consequence of severe head trauma, which occurred when he accidentally hit the bottom of his skull on a solid umbrella stand following a fall from a three-story balcony.

Back in late November, rumors circulated that when Liam took his final bow, traces of antidepressants were found within him. What’s more chilling is the news that a psychiatrist had expressed her inability to continue providing effective care for him due to his persistent emotional upheavals. As a devoted fan, I can’t help but be deeply moved by this heartrending tale.

Upon undergoing toxicology testing, I was found to have traces of cocaine not only in my urine and blood, but also in my stomach and nasal passages – a clear indication of recent use. Additionally, I had sertraline, a medication commonly known as Zoloft in the US, present within my system. This discovery sheds light on certain aspects of my health and well-being at the time.

As a diehard fan, I’ve been closely following the rumors swirling around Payne. It seems there was speculation that he might have consumed what’s colloquially known as ‘pink cocaine’ – a potent party drug prevalent in Ibiza, composed of ketamine, methamphetamine, MDMA, and heroin.

This past week, it came to light that prior to his death, Liam was frequently contacting hotel staff to request alcohol and inquire about purchasing cocaine. Additionally, the records show he offered an escort $5,000 for a visit. These details emerged from recently discovered court documents.

Since his passing, authorities have initiated a comprehensive inquiry into his demise; five individuals have been indicted, among them hotel personnel and Argentinian entrepreneur Roger Nores, who maintains his innocence.

Esteban Grassi, currently under investigation as the main receptionist, stated that Payne persistently inquired about obtaining alcohol and information on how to procure cocaine. He reportedly spoke disrespectfully to an employee when told they couldn’t assist with this request.

Additionally, it appears that texts allegedly sent by Liam suggest a conversation with an escort where he proposed a party costing $5,000 (approximately £3,900).
