One Direction Member Talks About Alcoholism And Depression During The Band's Tour

One of the members of the British pop group One Direction, Liam Payne, spoke about alcoholism and depression during the existence of a super successful boy band. He spoke about this in the YouTube podcast The Diary of a CEO.

The 27-year-old singer shared that during the band's tours he started having serious problems with "pills and alcohol". “My face was ten times wider then. The best way to protect us was by locking us in the room. What is in the room? Mini bar. This went on for years, ”Payne said. It is noted that he was only 16 years old when he became part of the popular boy band. The perpetrator also stated that substance dependence led him to suicidal thoughts.

Payne stressed that the day the group broke up, he was glad: "I know that many will be angry with me for saying this, but then I had to stop, otherwise it would kill me."

One Direction was founded in 2010. It included Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik. The band was one of the most commercially successful boy bands of all time. One Direction disbanded in 2015.
