Bruce Springsteen speaks out on the 'enormous pressure' the industry puts on young people in the wake of Liam Payne's tragic death aged 31

As a lifestyle expert with extensive experience in the entertainment industry, I wholeheartedly agree with Bruce Springsteen‘s sentiments regarding the pressures young artists face in the music business. Having witnessed and experienced the highs and lows of fame myself, I can attest to the fact that it’s not always a walk in the park.

American musician Bruce Springsteen expressed concern about the intense pressures faced by young individuals within the music industry, following the tragic passing of Liam Payne in Argentina.

On Wednesday, a singer from One Direction, who is 31 years old, fell approximately 45 feet from the third floor and landed in the courtyard of the Casa Sur Hotel in Buenos Aires.

In a conversation with the Telegraph, the esteemed musician, aged 75, remarked: “It’s not something uncommon in my line of work.

‘It’s a normal thing. It’s a business that puts enormous pressures on young people.

Inevitably, young individuals may lack the developed wisdom and resilience to navigate the complexities and challenges that often accompany achievements in life and public recognition.

‘They frequently immerse themselves in challenging situations that can be quite painful, such as substance abuse with drugs or alcohol, as a means to alleviate stress.’

From my personal journey, I can certainly relate. I’ve grappled with various challenges myself, offering me a unique perspective on the struggles others may face.

In his autobiography “Born To Run”, Springsteen shared his experiences with depression, and he mentioned that he had approached a very precarious edge.

Liam openly discussed how the worldwide popularity of One Direction significantly impacted his life, including his struggles with substances like drugs and alcohol. At one point, he questioned whether he had reached his personal lowest point by saying, “I’m not sure if I’ve hit rock bottom just yet.

In an interview on the Diary Of The CEO Podcast in 2021, Liam confessed his concern about the depth of his personal low point: ‘I wondered where my rock-bottom was. You wouldn’t have noticed it, but I’m quite skilled at concealing it.’

“It’s unclear whether I’ve struck something or not. I could decide right now, label this point as my absolute lowest, or choose to create a brand-new, lower point.

He admitted he had suffered for years with ‘social anxiety’ and ‘stress’ from being famous, and discussed the pressure his mental health was under while not having the freedom to go anywhere as a boyband member.

Additionally, during the same conversation with Ant Middleton on his Straight Talking show in 2019, he acknowledged that he was quite fortunate to still be alive.

He added: ‘There’s times where that level of loneliness and people getting into you every day every so often… it’s like, ‘When will this end?’… that’s almost nearly killed me a couple of times.’

Argentinian prosecutors said investigations into Liam’s fall are so far ‘inconclusive’.

A post-mortem analysis revealed that he passed away due to severe injuries, both internal and external, which led to excessive bleeding.

On Wednesday, Liam fell approximately 45 feet from the third story of the Casa Sur Hotel in Argentina’s capital, and later, medical professionals declared him deceased.

On September 30, the star, accompanied by his girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, made their way to South America. Instead of staying for just five days as initially planned, they extended their visit and remained in Argentina for a fortnight.

Authorities were summoned to the hotel due to a report about a potentially intoxicated or drug-affected individual displaying aggressive behavior.

Not long after that, the staff detected a strong noise coming from the hotel’s yard. Later in the afternoon, around 5 pm local time, they found the deceased body of the singer from Wolverhampton.

Astonished spectators congregated outside as authorities established a crime scene perimeter, with experts dressed in white protective gear and blue gloves frequently going in and out.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d rephrase that statement like this: “I’ve learned from local news sources that there was an incident involving a celebrity. He reportedly became quite unpredictable in the hotel lobby and ended up shattering his laptop. Subsequently, he needed assistance to return to his room.
