liam. oh liam. god. he was the one i worried so much about ever since the band. like, it used to be zayn but when zayn left and grew i thought "ok, he's going to be ok" because you could see after a while that the band was not good for zayn. you could see it. but liam, god. he carried so much weight, all the time. from the band all the way to the present, he was the guy who was supposed to be put together. he was "daddy direction" he was. yeah. he was that guy. and i know it weighed on him. i KNOW it did. the drinking and the fucking spiraling he went through after the band, it was all connected. and i'm not. defending his choices, i'm not. but i'm grieving him and i'm aching for him, and. i just wanted him to be okay. i really really thought that he would be okay. and he's not. and i'm. fucking heartbroken about it.
Aaron Carter Dies At 34
The TMZ article that comes up shows pictures of his dead body. They do not show his face, but they do show his arms, torso, and tattoos which I find extraordinarily tasteless and disrespectful. So if you are looking for news stories to confirm that this isn't an internet hoax, avoid that one.
Aaron's last tweet.
We know the timeline is cursed but it's awfully strange as well.
Aaron Carter passed away i was actually hoping he'd recover from his personal demons. I feel bad for Nick too because he also lost their sister a few years back and now has to experience that pain all over again. Another sad reminder of how awful addiction.
In memory of Aaron Carter who passed away today. Very tragic unexpected loss, he was recently promoting his new music. Here is my favorite song of his “All About You” I played on repeat as a kid.
Aaron Carter died today.
I know most of you probably don’t know or don’t remember who he is. But I never forgot.
He was 34 years old. He left behind a young son, who now has to grow up without their dad. He was a complicated individual and you could tell in recent years that he was struggling.
They say that childhood fame is more often a curse than a blessing. And Aaron didn’t have the support he needed from the people who were supposed to love him the most.
He was the first love of my life. I had his posters all over my walls, he was one of my first concerts, and his CD’s were on a constant loop in my CD player. I watched everything there was to watch with him in it over and over and over. All the girls were obsessed with boy bands but I just loved this guy.
I am truly heartbroken. He deserved so much better.
Rest In Peace Aaron, I’m so sorry you couldn’t find it here on earth ❤️

Do not click that TMZ article. There are pictures of the fall with zero warning and completely uncensored.
The worst part about Liam Payne dying is that people are posting about “the switch up is crazy”
Like no. He was an abuser and made horrible decisions, but nobody wanted him to die. He was getting hate for an INCREDIBLY valid reason, but we all recognized that he needed mental and physical help. He needed to go to rehab. He needed to get away from drugs and alcohol and improve upon himself away from the public. No one wanted him to die.
We’re not mourning the life of an abuser, we are mourning the part of him that we adored and looked up to for a massive part of our childhood/ teenage years. He was a huge part of how I was introduced to my love of music. And yes, he did horrible things and made horrible decisions and over the last few years has been anything but admirable, but none of us wanted this.
Maya didn’t want this. And everyone saying that it’s her fault can actually go burn in hell. She likely already blames herself enough. She likely already wishes she hadn’t spoken up about it out of the guilt that she likely feels. You guys commenting all over the socials about how this is her fault and “are you happy now?” Are actually horrible people.
A 7 year old boy just lost his father. A woman just lost her long term boyfriend. Two parents just lost their son. Several young children just lost their uncle. Show some fucking respect. Joking about it and hating on people who had nothing to do with what happened is not doing anything but twist the knife for the people who this has ACTUALLY effected.
