Liam Payne dies at the age of 31

There's a hell of a lot in there that you could file in the "whatever happened to...." drawer. I remwmber Little Mix being very popular for a short time, but they seem to have disappeared "like a fart in the wind" (with a nod to Shawshank). And, IIRC, Stacy Solomon sang (loose definition) the national anthem at our cup final against Stoke.
Didn't she sing We Are The Champions at the semi? I remember the look of bewilderment on her face on the big screens when she got dog's abuse from our end!
 
This sad passing did remind me of a true story about my mum and dad, though. They were attending some antique fair at the NEC. Probably about ten years ago. They’d combined it with a visit to me. They were in their car queuing to get into the car park, and it was moving very slowly. And after a few minutes a passenger in the car in front got out, approached my mum and dad’s car, asked my dad to wind down the window and told them that they must be in the wrong queue and pointed them towards the antique fair, the other side of the complex.

They’d been following the signs that said ‘One Direction’ for about an hour.

A very dear friend of mine died of drugs aged about 23. He was the kind who never turned down a challenge and sometimes did daft things. But he was a good lad and I think of him often.

One reason I've never taken any.
It seems (repeat, SEEMS) that he was taking drugs in the hours before his death. Pictures on social media (I know!), apparently released by Argentinian media, claim to show drug taking paraphernalia in his room. How they got access to the room is another question. Devastating for his family and friends, if true.
 
Not going to be too devastated by the death of someone I never knew, but 31 is no age, and he seemed like a nice lad. I really like people Wolverhampton folk.

Fame is a curse. Very few escape unscathed.

Very funny, but you never know the demographic of followers of pop stars. After all, a certain gentleman, who would qualify on this forum as being a FOC, according to a frenzy of media headlines this week, went to see Taylor Swift no less than twice this summer:)
