Liam Payne ‘struggled’ post-One Direction, was ‘envious’ of bandmates’ solo success
“Liam struggled with finding his path as a solo artist,” a music insider tells Page Six exclusively. “As overwhelming as One Direction ’s fame could be at times, he hoped to replicate aspects of it on his own, which was unattainable, frankly.”

It was hard not to compare himself to them.” The results of the pop star’s autopsy have yet to be released, but a preliminary report stated that he suffered internal and external bleeding andNiall Horan, Styles, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik, shown above with Payne in 2010, have yet to react to the news.“He was open about his struggles but tried to downplay them at times,” the insider shared. “His demons were much worse than he let on.”
