Boy George Expresses Remorse Over Comment About Liam Payne
Boy George, 63, is feeling remorse over a “not very nice” comment he made about Liam Payne before the One Direction star’s death.
Regretful Comment
“In the case of Liam Payne, I watched him a few days before it happened … I remember watching online, and I’d actually put a message under a post saying, ‘He’s off his nut,’ which wasn’t very nice but I felt it. I felt like he was out of control,” George said on the Thursday, November 21, episode of the “High Performance” podcast hosted by Jake Humphrey and Damian Hughes.
Reaction to Payne’s Death
“And when it happened, it just hit me,” he continued, referring to Payne’s death after falling from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires on October 16. “The same way that Amy Winehouse hit me. Because it felt so senseless.”
Funeral Attendance
Payne was laid to rest in a private funeral ceremony in Amersham, England, on Wednesday, November 20. His former One Direction bandmates, Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, and Louis Tomlinson all attended, marking the first time the four surviving band members have been together since Malik left the group in 2015.
Investigation Update
Earlier in November, Buenos Aires prosecutors charged three people in connection with Payne’s death. Braian Nahuel Paiz and two other individuals were charged with abandonment leading to death and the supply and facilitation of narcotics.
Paiz’s Cooperation
Paiz recently told Us Weekly he will cooperate fully with the police investigation into Payne’s death.
Conclusion
Boy George’s regretful comment about Liam Payne serves as a reminder of the impact our words can have on others. His remorse is a testament to the power of self-reflection and the importance of treating others with kindness and respect.
