Speaker 1: Jersey and Amanda gem.

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 2: Nation, editor of The Daily Oz, Emma Gillespie is here. Hello, Emma, Well, Hello.

3
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:10,960
Speaker 3: A sad one to talk about today. The world is

4
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 3: mourning the loss of former One Direction bandmate Liam Payne,

5
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 3: the thirty one year old singer who was found dead

6
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 3: last week outside of buanas Are's hotel. He fell from

7
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 3: a third floor balcony. His father, Jeff has arrived there

8
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 3: this morning or overnight to arrange the repatriation of his

9
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,639
Speaker 3: son's body and Liem will be taken back to the UK.

10
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:35,480
Speaker 3: Such a sad story, but a really developing one. Lots

11
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 3: of details emerging in the days since. We've heard an

12
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 3: emergency phone calls that's been leaked a member of the

13
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 3: hotel staff that reached out to the authorities and described

14
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:48,520
Speaker 3: an intoxicated guest. He was apparently breaking everything in his room,

15
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 3: and this hotel staffer said that, you know, we're scared

16
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 3: that he might harm himself. His room has a balcony

17
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 3: in the likes, etc. A little bit of background on

18
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 3: One Direction, even though Jones, I know you're all over

19
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 3: it because I'm d is your favorite band, which famously

20
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 3: is your favorite band. They formed in twenty ten on

21
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,279
Speaker 3: the set of The X Factor in Britain. The X Factor,

22
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 3: which was created by Simon Cowell. He has spoken out

23
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 3: about the band its success and the loss of Liam.

24
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 3: He's devastated, says his heartbroken. All of the band members,

25
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 3: you know, including Harry Styles, have all made statements on

26
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 3: the Instagram talking about Payne's talent, the joy that he brought,

27
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 3: the way that he made other people happy. Zaan Malix

28
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 3: one of the former bandmates. He's postponed his US tour.

29
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 3: X Factor Britain have actually delayed their next auditions for

30
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 3: their forthcoming season. So a lot of sort of showbiz

31
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 3: disruptions there, But I wanted to talk a bit about

32
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 3: the kind of media fallout surrounding a bit of the

33
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 3: reporting of this death. Cheryl Cole, you might know her

34
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 3: as a Girl's a loud singer or Cheryl Tweety. She

35
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 3: was with Liam Payne a few years ago and they've

36
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 3: got a child together, unbear, who's now seven years old.

37
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 3: She put a statement out on Instagram and said she

38
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 3: was really troubled by the reports and the media exploitation

39
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 3: that we'd seen in recent days that you know, one

40
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 3: day her son would have access to that information. She said,

41
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 3: I'm begging you to consider what the use of some

42
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 3: of these reports are serving, other than to cause further

43
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 3: harm to everyone left behind. Before you leave comments or

44
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 3: make videos, ask yourself if you would like your own

45
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 3: child or family to read them. Now. I don't know

46
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 3: if you guys have been across this, but TMZ posted

47
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 3: these really graphic images and videos. After lim Payne died.

48
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 3: There was a video circulating of his fall. There were

49
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 3: close up images of his body on the ground.

50
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: Because I heard that that wasn't real. Well, who would know,

51
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: who would know?

52
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 3: Well, who would know exactly? Apparently it was real, But

53
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 3: I think the idea that it could be just a

54
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 3: kid scrolling on TikTok and you see video of a

55
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 3: pop star you've idolized your whole life dying.

56
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 2: It's really And the way social media turned on him

57
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 2: because he was at the concert supporting Nigel Horan, was

58
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 2: it nil? Yeah, and so but everyone saying, oh, look

59
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 2: at him, he's making it all about him because he's

60
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 2: dancing along, and then after his death, Rone's gone, oh

61
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 2: that's so sweet.

62
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,519
Speaker 3: It's the internet is a nutfest.

63
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'd see not just that. I was just going

64
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: to say what. There's been some fallout too for Simon Cowell,

65
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 1: people saying that this guy sat back. He said, apparently

66
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: recently in an interview, his only regret was that he didn't

67
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: register or own the band name One Direction. He manipulated, well,

68
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: this is the inference he's worked them, made them too,

69
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera. But where is the backup mental

70
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: health for these young men.

71
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is really interesting because a big music industry

72
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 3: name has come out and said that under eighteen year

73
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 3: old should not be allowed to join pop bands. This

74
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 3: guy called Guy Chambers. He's a songwriter and friend of

75
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 3: Robbie Williams. He's written some of Robbie Williams' biggest hits.

76
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 3: He has called on the industry to hold back from

77
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 3: working with talent underage. So Liam Payne was sixteen when

78
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 3: he auditioned for the season The X Factor when why.

79
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 2: We there was actually fourteen when he first went on us.

80
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, he first auditioned at age fourteen, and that's when

81
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 3: Simon caw told him you're really talented, but it's not

82
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 3: the right time, please come back. And he did come back,

83
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 3: and you know that fateful audition and you know the

84
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 3: music industry in the world was never the same. But

85
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 3: I thought this idea was really interesting. You know, we're

86
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 3: kind of talking so much more and more about young

87
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 3: people's access to social media and what the modern world

88
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 3: does to young developing brains. And I hadn't really thought

89
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 3: about it that way. But we know child fame can

90
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 3: screw up so many people.

91
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: That's right, And football clubs now are looking at the

92
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 1: mental health of their young players and a short lived

93
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 1: career in how he helped someone sustain themselves through the

94
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: big fame and the big money. But we absolutely need

95
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: to do it with young performers too.

96
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think it's interesting Guy Chambers that Robbie

97
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 3: Williams made, he said, you know, it has been a

98
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 3: long time since the band was formed, but he doesn't

99
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 3: see that much has changed in the industry and not

100
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 3: much more real care being taken to look after the

101
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 3: kids involved in these big talent shows.

102
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 2: But look at the Beatles was the same. They're all kids, yeah,

103
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,119
Speaker 2: and they all hung around John Lennon. When you really

104
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,799
Speaker 2: look at the Beatles, he was like nineteen. George Harrison

105
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 2: was fourteen, so it's fourteen. I hang around with nineteen year.

106
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 3: Social media has just blown it all up to another level,

107
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 3: the level of fame and visibility, even lots of videos

108
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 3: of li and pain in the lead up to his death.

109
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 3: That's so distressing. You can tell he wasn't well anyway,

110
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 3: very very sad, and millions of people sort of connecting

111
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 3: around the world over their grief.

112
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 2: So well, Amanda's put a floral tube tribute in the

113
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 2: studio here.

114
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: Thank you, Amanda. It's actually it's my chewing gump.

115
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 2: It's a chewing gum and a kid cup.

116
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 3: But nonetheless the words of one direction, Amanda, that's what's

117
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 3: what makes you beautiful.

118
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: That is thank you.

119
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 2: Check her out of The Daily Oz
