Robbie Williams Calls for Support Group After Liam Payne's Death

Robbie Williams has called for the music industry to establish a support group for 'young stars struggling with fame' following the tragic death of Liam Payne, who died after falling from a hotel balcony in Argentina. Williams, reflecting on his own experiences with fame since age 16, emphasized the need for a 'think tank of empathetic and compassionate creatives' to help protect young artists facing mental health challenges. He noted that while some individuals manage to cope with fame, many do not survive its pressures. This call to action comes after preliminary autopsy results indicated that Payne was battling substance abuse issues prior to his death. Williams has been open about his own mental health struggles, including agoraphobia and nervous breakdowns, and stressed that fame is not a fix-all solution. He hopes that initiatives in Liam's name will raise awareness and provide necessary support for artists in similar situations.
