Liam Payne said he was 'f****d up because he was in a boyband' before death
dailyrecord.co.ukA woman who had a brief conversation with the late One Direction star Liam Payne was taken aback when he confessed that being in a boyband had left him "f***ed up".
The 31 year-old was staying at a luxury hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina, when he tragically fell from his third-floor balcony.A fan described him as being eager to be recognised, claiming he introduced himself unasked, shouting "I'm Liam", to a line of guests waiting for the lift, who were indifferent to his identity.
She said that Liam returned to the lobby with his laptop and was using the "accessibility setting" that read out the emails he was checking, seemingly for attention, according to the woman known only as Rebecca.Assuming he'd seen an email that upset him, Rebecca said: "Suddenly he took the computer, shouted 'f**k this s**t mate! ' and started bashing the computer on the ground."His unusual behaviour shocked those present in the upscale hotel, but concerned, Rebecca asked if he was alright.
She explained: "But he just kind of grunted. Then he said 'I used to be in a boyband. That's why I'm so f**ked up'." Stunned by his confession, she watched him re-enter the lift, before a "British guy" apologised to the group on his behalf, saying Liam "gets so high" sometimes, reports the Mirror.
