Liam Payne Feels Fame Nearly Killed Him & He Is Lucky To Be Alive

Singer Liam Payne says fame “nearly killed” him, adding that he feels ‘quite lucky’ to be alive.

The former One Direction singer opened up about the darker side of fame during a chat in “Ant Middleton And Liam Payne: Straight Talking”, reports www.thesun.co.uk.

Payne propelled to fame at aged 16 with One Direction.

“For some certain circumstances I’m quite lucky to be here still. There are times when that level of loneliness and people getting into you every day, it’s like, ‘When will this end?’ That’s almost nearly killed me a couple of times,” he said.

Asked if Payne had wanted to act on it, the singer replied: “Yeah, when I’ve been in a bad place. It’s one hundred per cent, you know. There’s no point denying it — it’s definitely been on the menu a couple of times in my life.”
