Liam Payne’s death sparks 17,000-strong petition to safeguard artists after hotel plunge tragedy

Liam Payne’s fans have launched a petition calling for new laws to protect musicians’ mental health.

The campaign, which has already gathered over 17,000 signatures and aims to reach 25,000, is calling for government intervention to ensure the mental wellbeing of performers. This includes regular mental health check-ups, designated rest periods and ongoing support throughout their careers. The tragic death of Liam Payne, who fell from a hotel balcony in Argentina, sparked the petition.

The hotel had previously called the police about “an aggressive man who may have been under the effects of drugs and alcohol” around 5pm. When emergency services arrived, they found a body outside. This incident has led to an outcry among Liam’s fans for better care for artists.

It is stated in the petition : “The entertainment industry, acclaimed for its glamour and stardom, is equally infamous for the enormous pressure it exerts on the mental health of artists. Resultant issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, substance misuse and even suicide are alarmingly high,” reports OK!.

It goes on to say: “According to research, performers are 2-3 times more likely to suffer from these issues compared to the general population.” The petition ends by urging lawmakers to create legislation that protects the mental health of artists within the industry.

The petition concluded with a heartfelt appeal: “Such a law would necessitate regular mental health check-ups, adequate rest periods, and the presence of mental health professionals on-set, including any ongoing support during their career. It will ensure a healthier, safer, and more conducive working environment for artists to cultivate their talents reducing phycological distress.”

They also implored: “Your signature could be a lifeline for these talented individuals, contributing to a larger movement on mental health awareness and care in industries worldwide. Please, sign the petition.” The plea continued: “Such a law would necessitate regular mental health check-ups, adequate rest periods, and the presence of mental health professionals on-set, including any ongoing support during their career. It will ensure a healthier, safer, and more conducive working environment for artists to cultivate their talents reducing phycological distress.”

“Your signature could be a lifeline for these talented individuals, contributing to a larger movement on mental health awareness and care in industries worldwide. Please, sign the petition.” Not only have fans set up a petition, but they’ve also left flowers and candles outside the hotel where he tragically passed away. Liam’s father, Geoff Payne, has since flown to Argentina to see the tribute.
