One Direction star Liam Payne died today after falling from his hotel balcony. Sources say he was acting erratic in the lobby earlier. He had a history of prescription drug and alcohol abuse.

why do I feel like @Servant King has an alibi set up.
Much obliged for the reminder! I'd have come up with one sooner, but I was a bit preoccupied pushing some guy out of his balcony. Tip: the hey-I've-got-some-prescription-drugs-and-alcohol-waiting-for-you-on-the-underside-of-this-balcony trick doesn't seem to work as well as it used to. I blame the internet.

Sadly, fame and wealth buy the ability to get away with things that other folks would be confronted about. It too often leads to their demise. 31...just a goofed up kid.

I didn’t know this guy from the proverbial hole in the ground, and everything said here may well be true. But for two reasons I’m disinclined to piss on him or his apparent stupidity. First one of my kids is about his age and that inevitably triggers a personal reaction to an otherwise impersonal (to me) event. 31 is just too damn young to die, no matter what the cause.

And secondly the older I get the more I viscerally understand the John Donne view of life.

No man is an island,
Entire of itself;
Every man is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.

If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less,
As well as if a promontory were:
As well as if a manor of thy friend's
Or of thine own were.

Any man's death diminishes me,
Because I am involved in mankind.
And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
It tolls for thee.

I just don't know how I am supposed to feel about this. I guess I am shocked that anyone on this forum would know who they were. Didn't they make girl music?
They are before my time but most of the guys here know of them and are shocked. They did make mostly girl music but most of the models here are gay. I'd rather stick to listening Boy George.
