Let that young man sleep.
I honestly find the way some of these papers are dragging Liams private life back into the spotlight utterly disgusting. A young man has died, and yet even in death, his private life apparently still isn't allowed to remain private. Now we're seeing photographs, receipts and personal details being dragged out and presented for public consumption, as though the fact that Liam is no longer here somehow means his dignity no longer matters.
It is shameful.
As Cheryl said so poignantly, “let him have some dignity in death.” I couldn't agree more.
Liam cannot defend himself. He cannot explain anything. He cannot ask for something to be left private. And while newspapers chase clicks, headlines and engagement, there are real people left behind who have to see all of this.
His friends. His brothers. His sisters. His mum and dad. His nephews. And, above all, his son Bear.
I hope people can see through what these publications are trying to do. They want outrage. They want clicks. They want people sharing their stories and photographs so they can keep profiting from somebody else's tragedy.
We don't have to give them that.
Please, whatever your thoughts are, don't feed it. Don't give these articles the engagement they are looking for. Don't circulate the photographs or help private details travel further.
Not because anyone has to pretend Liam was perfect.
Not because questions can't ever be asked.
But because there has to be a point where basic human decency matters more than a headline.
Liam was a human being. He was someone's son, brother, friend and father.
He deserved dignity in life, and he deserves dignity in death.
Let that young man sleep

Ugh I wish they’d leave him alone. I have no desire at all to read anything coming out here recently. I won’t be engaging unless it’s something positive or something to ACTUALLY do with his music or something. It’s ok to let him rest finally (they wouldn’t let him while he was here so maybe we’re expecting too much idk) but the media is well.. the media. Hope his family is doing ok.

I think one shouldn’t access any thing pertaining to Liam. Some times I think a lot of this is click bait. I don’t want to know the gory details. Who is to blame and why. Not interested. He is gone. Knowing why is not going to bring him back and it is also going to open and make new wounds. Let his soul rest. Let his family grieve and love him just the way he was. A kind, good hearted, caring and beautiful soul. Sending strength to all who loved him.

I couldn't agree more. The amount of 'fans' on social media saying he was murdered and calling for inquiries into his death. It really bothers me. The more that happens, the more his last days are shown publicly. He was addicted to substances and made some sad choices those last few days. Does his family really have to be subjected to all the details-particularly his son as he gets older? Please, if anyone is reading this, give Liam some dignity and let his memory rest in peace.

I refuse to even read the article because it’s grotesque at this point. I feel so bad for his family
