Liam Payne praised for ‘final act of kindness’ two weeks before death that people initially thought was a ‘prank’

Liam Payne has been praised by fans for donating to a 28-year-old man fighting cancer in the weeks before he tragically died.

The One Directionsinger fell from the third-floor balcony of the Casa Sur Hotel in Buenos Aires on October 16, plunging into the courtyard before medics later confirmed his death.

The hitmaker had donated £3,000 to a man named Jack on September 30 to help him pay for the cost of medical care and living expenses while he battles Stage 4 B Cell Lymphoma.

His GoFundMe mentions that Jack is unable to work during his treatments, leaving him without a steady income.

Speaking to The Mirror, he said: ‘Eventually, my neck and arm swelled to about twice their normal size and I went to get it checked out.’

When Jack saw the donation from ‘Liam Payne’, he initially assumed it was a prank.

But when he read that Liam had donated thousands of pounds to mulitple GoFundMe’s in recent weeks, his mind was changed.

He said: ‘I thought it was a prank or someone donating under a false name in the interest of preserving their own anonymity, until reports started coming out about Liam’s acts of kindness during his final days.

‘It truly warmed my heart knowing he was able to find some sort of peace through the love and support he provided to other people in his final moments.’

During his life, the 31-year-old tirelessly spent his time using his £46million fortune and his superstardom in a bid to help others in need.

Liam worked with Unicef as well as anti-poverty NGO Trussell Trust to help residents in his West Midlands hometown Wolverhampton.

From volunteering at his local food bank, to putting on his studs for a Soccer Aid match twice, the pop star had a ‘burning desire… to do good’.

A month before his sudden passing, the singer had donated £10,000 to several GoFundMe pages.

His friend told The Sun: ‘Liam had all this money, and, yes, he had fancy things in life, but he also had a burning desire to use his money to do good.

‘Even in the weeks leading up to his death — and when he was battling his own demons — he was helping others.

‘He was really passionate about being a good person, especially when it came to children. He was like one of his idols George Michael in that respect.’

Previously in 2021, Payne had auctioned of his clothes and fundraised a staggering £15,000 for various charities.

It has been revealed that Payne – a doting father to seven-year-old Bear – had given thousands after reading several tragic stories on GoFundMe in a single night.

A victim of a school shooting, people requiring life-saving operations and those diagnosed with cancer were among the many individuals Liam helped that night.

He also gave £770 to a young girl who had been injured in a school shooting to help her afford her medical bills.

It has been revealed he spent £10,000 donating to several GoFundMe pages in one single night last month (L-R Harry Styles, Liam, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan and Zayn Malik in 2011)

Another £2,223 was donated to help Kailyn, a four-year-old who had experienced a stroke.

Liam said at the time: ‘As a father, it hits me differently. I have been spending the last few nights trying to finish off the donations so they can get the operations they need — they would be free in my country.

‘I can’t not look at a sick child and not see Bear. I’m not asking for people to say well done or I’m amazing.

‘What I care about is that that child gets to live the life it’s supposed to.’

His charitable work does not end there, having previously been a guest of honour at a new youth centre in Wolverhampton and later giving the facility £3,000.

During that year, he teamed up with Wimbledon champion Andy Murray as well as Fresh Meat star Jack Whitehall to perform a sketch for Unicef.

In 2022, when asked about the legacy he would like to leave and how he would want to be remembered, he said: ‘Honestly, just being a nice guy.’

Kate Cassidy, Liam Payne’s girlfriend, cried and shared: His life was so glorious, so bitter, I tried my best to protect and take care of him every day but every night he used… See more

In a heartbreaking confession, Kate Cassidy, Liam Payne’s girlfriend, has opened up about the intense challenges she faced in her relationship with the former One Direction star. Through tears, she shared, “His life was so glorious, so bitter. I tried my best to protect and take care of him every day, but every night he used…”

 

While she stopped short of revealing the specific details about what Payne was using, her emotional plea sheds light on the darker side of his life behind the fame. The reference to “glorious” and “bitter” hints at the complex duality of Payne’s public success versus his private struggles, likely pointing to a difficult battle with addiction or harmful behaviors that took a toll on both his mental health and their relationship. 

The Weight of Fame and Struggles

Liam Payne, known for his massive success with One Direction and a solo career, has also been transparent about his battles with mental health and substance use in the past. While the world admired his achievements, Cassidy’s statement hints at the pain that Payne may have carried in private—struggles that fame and fortune couldn’t alleviate.

The burden of fame can often mask deeper issues, and Payne’s battle with his inner demons has become more evident in recent years. The intense pressures of the music industry and the constant scrutiny from the public can drive even the most successful individuals to unhealthy coping mechanisms, as suggested by Cassidy’s emotional words.

A Partner’s Desperate Battle

Cassidy’s tearful confession illustrates the emotional toll it can take on a partner who is trying to care for someone in pain. Her words, “I tried my best to protect and take care of him every day,” reveal the tireless efforts she made to be there for Payne, despite the overwhelming challenges she faced. Caring for someone struggling with addiction or mental health issues often leaves partners feeling helpless, as they witness their loved one slip further away despite their best efforts.

Nightly Struggles

The mention of “every night” suggests a recurring issue that plagued Payne, hinting at the possibility of self-destructive behaviors that surfaced under the cover of darkness. Whether it was substance use, alcohol, or another harmful habit, Cassidy’s confession points to the nightly battles Payne faced, as well as her own exhaustion from trying to help him fight them.

Seeking Understanding and Compassion

Cassidy’s emotional outpouring is a reminder that behind the glamorous life of a celebrity, there can be intense personal struggles that the public rarely sees. Her raw and heartfelt statement highlights the importance of compassion and understanding, not just for Payne, but for all those who face similar challenges in their personal lives.

As fans process this revelation, it’s crucial to approach both Cassidy and Payne’s stories with empathy. Addiction and mental health issues are deeply personal battles that affect not only the individual but also those who love them most.

Conclusion

Kate Cassidy’s tearful confession, “His life was so glorious, so bitter, I tried my best to protect and take care of him every day but every night he used…,” has offered a rare glimpse into the personal challenges Liam Payne may have faced behind his public persona. Her emotional plea highlights the heavy burden of trying to care for someone battling addiction or mental health struggles. As Payne continues his journey, Cassidy’s story serves as a sobering reminder of the hidden struggles that can exist behind even the brightest of stars.

Fans Shocking Video Of Liam Payne Crying In Sadness While Recording New Song, Raising Suspicions That He Was Pressured By Some Force Behind…

The dad of one – whose new track is called Teardrops – shared his backstage experiences while putting together the track.

One scene saw his pal give him a big hug as he let his emotions flow before Liam told the camera: “For the first time you can really get a picture of what it was like for me each day making this record.

“Like this album is that whole last year for me.

“How I was feeling on those days is each record, it’s a snapshot of the day.

“So you can even help someone through a tough time, you know help somebody celebrate something.

“That’s what I really wanted to get across with this record and that’s the best part I guess about my job.

Yet despite Liam looking healthy in a grey top and gold necklace after his recent health battles, fans were still concerned.

One took to the comments section to write: “Who made my baby cry?”

Another admitted: “Liam crying breaks my heart,” as one put: “Seeing him cry makes me cry even more.”

 

One then added: “Him crying at the start omg.”

Fans can pre-save the new track now.

Meanwhile, Liam’s struggles at coping with life outside One Direction were recently documented.

Last year, the Strip That Down singer was admitted to hospital in Italy battling fresh health concerns amid ongoing kidney problems.

At the time, sone fans linked the overseas ambulance dash to his history of addiction issues which have seen him spend time in rehab.

In 2021, he blamed a “pills and booze phase” for bloating his face to “ten times the size.”

A royal commentator has said the Sussexes may be going in different directions in one aspect of their lives.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle seem to be “going their separate ways” when it comes to their ventures, a royal expert has claimed.

The Duke of Sussex, 40, and his wife, 43, have both made some solo appearances in recent months prompting some speculation from royal watcher Phil Dampier.

Meghan Markle attended the LA Children’s Hospital Gala and a digital wellness initiative in Santa Barbara, whereas Harry jetted to New York, London and South Africa to “advance a number of his patronages and philanthropic initiatives”.

Speaking on the Sun’s Royal Exclusive show, Mr Dampier said: “I think Meghan is genuinely doing a lot of work in the background for this Netflix project and American Riviera Orchard.

“She probably wants a bit of a hiatus so that she can launch that. As for Harry, obviously he’s been back and forth with a few charities.

“They do seem to be going their separate ways. There’s no evidence that they’re splitting up at the moment personally.”

Renae Smith, founder and director of PR firm Atticism, exclusively told Express.co.uk that while their latest decision to go solo could benefit them in the long term, it could spark negative consequences in the short term.

The expert said: “I think their decision to pursue individual brands could indeed work in their favour over the long term, although it’s bound to spark a fair amount of public speculation in the short term.

Commenting on the couple pursuing their own interests, she said: “From a PR perspective, this shift might allow each of them to create distinct brands that better reflect their different priorities and resonate more coherently with their individual audiences.”

During his trip to Africa last month Prince Harry reunited with his old friend, Prince Seeiso of Lesotho, and gave a passionate speech around a bonfire about the work his Sentebale charity has been doing.

Sentebale supports young people living with, or who are at risk from, HIV.

Prince Harry said: “We’re hitting the targets, not just Sentebale but all of the departments are, and it’s making a massive difference, and it is this surge of energy and optimism and the voice of young people ranging from six to 25 – and the biggest difference of which really needs more work, is when people from the top start listening.”

For her own trip to the LA Children’s Hospital Gala Meghan Markle wore a dazzling red dress as she appeared at the star-studded event alongside other celebrities including Demi Lovato, Kaley Cuoco, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jimmy Kimmel and Colin Hanks.

In an update on the Sussex website posted after her appearance it said: “This weekend, Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex attended the biennial Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) Gala, an inspiring event dedicated to celebrating the exceptional services provided to children across LA.

“Invited as a special guest by CHLA’s president and CEO, Paul Viviano, The Duchess was proud to stand alongside esteemed guests in support of this vital cause.”

Palace insiders are reportedly worried about the financial future of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex following the couple’s latest overseas property purchase.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s “smart move” to expand their property portfolio has raised eyebrows with a Palace insider who claims the Firm is reportedly “concerned” about their financial future.

Since quitting royal duties in 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have pocketed a reported £75million from Netflix for their shows, including the ‘Harry & Meghan’ docuseries which contained bombshell claims about the couple’s private life and the Firm.

But reports have suggested the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s have invested some of this money in a new property at the CostaTerra Golf and Ocean Club in Portugal, a resort dubbed the “Hamptons of Portugal”, costing an eye-watering £3.6million.

Referring to the property portfolio expansion, a source told the Sun: “They’re being smart with their money.”

However, the outlet also reports Palace insiders have been concerned about what will happen when the Sussexes run out of cash, as the couple have “huge overheads” including footing the bill for security when Harry visits the UK.

A biography by Robert Jobson, released earlier this year, titled ‘Catherine The Princess of Wales’ suggested that King Charles harbours concerns over Harry’s financial stability.

A Palace insider voiced worries to the author: “What worries His Majesty, and his top team,’ says a Palace official, ‘is what is going to happen when all the money runs out.”

Meghan Markle is reportedly ‘inconsolable’ following a harsh critique from Princess Diana’s biographer – leaving some Royal enthusiasts echoing the same sentiment.

Tina Brown, former editor of Vanity Fair, appeared on The Ankler podcast. She criticised the Duchess of Sussex, saying “she has the worst judgment of anyone in the entire world” and “she’s flawless about getting it all wrong”.

Understandably, Meghan was reportedly upset by these remarks. Royal commentator Neil Sean claimed that she was “inconsolable with tears” and “outraged” that someone she “admired” would make such comments.

Sean said: “According to a source Meghan was bereft because she’d admired Tina Brown and in particular read her books simply because of her connection to Princess Diana and get this because she wanted to find a better connection so she could understand her husband Prince Harry and how he felt about his mother.”

Magazine USA echoed these claims in a TikTok video, stating: “Meghan Markle is ‘inconsolable’ and ‘crying nonstop’ after being slammed by Princess Diana’s biographer Tina Brown”.

Royal fans were quick to sympathise with the Duchess, with one saying: “Diana would’ve no doubt loved her after all she personally went through between Charles other royals and the paparazzi,” accompanied by a sad-face emoji.

Meghan Markle has faced allegations of causing tears on more than one occasion.

Earlier in the year, an insider claimed she earned the moniker ‘Duchess Difficult’ from US staff, who say she “terrifies” and “belittles” those around her

A confidant close to the Sussexes informed the Hollywood Reporter: “Meghan belittles people, she doesn’t take advice,” while another source contended: “I’ve watched her reduce grown men to tears.”

Perhaps the most notorious accusation against Meghan was that she made Kate Middleton cry before her marriage to Prince Harry. Allegedly, Meghan rebuked Kate over concerns about Princess Charlotte’s flower girl dress, suggesting Kate had “baby brain”.

However, during a tell-all with Oprah Winfrey post-royal exit, the Duchess of Sussex insisted “the reverse happened” and that she was the one left in tears. This version of events received support in Prince Harry’s memoir, ‘Spare’, where he described finding Meghan “on the floor” after the dispute.

Neither the Royal Family nor the Sussexes have publicly responded to the allegations made by Harry and Meghan, or to the claims regarding Meghan’s conduct towards her staff.
