Louis Tomlinson speaks of ‘mourn’ over Liam Payne’s death

Louis Tomlinson discussed how he thought he might have “been a bit more experienced in grief”.

Talking to you The Independentthe former One Direction star said, “I naively believed that, at this point, I would unfortunately be a little more aware of grief than other people my age.”

“I thought that might mean something, but it didn’t at all,” the 33-year-old musician said.

Louis was referring to the death of his mother, Joanna Deakin, who died of leukemia in 2016, and the death of his 18-year-old sister Félicité from an accidental overdose just three years later.

“It’s something I’ll never really accept. I don’t think so,” Louis said of Liam’s death.

In previous interviews, Louis has stated that his time in One Direction was a good one and stated that he decides to “stand by” his statement.

“I would probably still stand by that statement,” he said, adding, “Obviously, that statement was made before… [and] I can only speak for my personal experience, [which] it was fine.”

“Look, in any situation like that, hindsight is a very powerful thing. I don’t blame anyone for my One Direction experience. Was it really hard work? Yeah. We didn’t have enough days off? Yeah. But what was really challenging, more than anything else, was being young and really famous and having people outside the hotels,” he explained, talking about the face he brings to his life.

“If you just wanted to go get a coffee… even if you wanted to go for *** and have to walk [there] with your safety. It’s dehumanizing, stuff like that,” Louis claimed.

However, at that time the members of the band One Direction, consisting of Louis, Liam, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan and Harry Styles, had each other.

“No matter what, there was this sense of togetherness,” concluded Louis Tomlinson.

It is worth mentioning that Liam Payne died on October 16 after falling from the balcony of his third-floor hotel room in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
