Before his death, Liam Payne repeatedly mentioned his death in messages to his ex-fiancée Maya Henry . Now, netizens continue to find coincidences between his death and the novel written by Maya Henry.

In May, Maya Henry published a novel inspired by her relationship with Liam Payne, Looking Forward. The novel tells the story of model Mallory Hunt and former bandmate Oliver Smith, who are both in a relationship. In the story, Mallory visits Oliver, who is acting erratically and hitting himself to the point of insanity due to drug use. Mallory begs Oliver to stop hurting himself, but before she can touch him, he stands up, screams “I’m going to kill myself, I want to die” and throws himself off the balcony.

These coincidental details made netizens shudder. However, in the novel, the character Oliver was saved, but in real life, Liam Payne was not so lucky. He died after falling from the balcony of a 3rd floor hotel room, at the age of 31.

The death of Liam Payne…

…has many similarities with the novel written by Maya Henry

Liam Payne and Maya Henry had a tumultuous relationship from 2018 to 2022. After the breakup, the male singer constantly harassed his ex-lover’s phone. Liam Payne always texted, “I’m not well. Okay, I’m going to die. I’m not fine at all.” However, Maya Henry said that this was just a “manipulative tactic” to make her feel guilty when they weren’t together or didn’t meet Liam Payne’s demands.

Maya Henry said Liam Payne once called her mother and said, “I’m not going to live much longer.” This made her angry: “I don’t play with death. If you say that, I’ll try to help no matter what you do. I think you took advantage of my family’s kindness.” Maya Henry offered to help Liam Payne return to rehab, but ultimately felt that the singer’s actions were manipulative.

The 23-year-old continued: “He would always say, ‘I’m so sorry for everything I did. I can’t live with it,’ but then he would continue to try to hurt me. I knew his lifestyle, and that one day something bad would happen. So I always thought, ‘Okay, Liam said so, I have to help, otherwise I can’t live with it if something happens to you.’”

However, Liam Payne kept bothering Maya Henry, forcing her to send a cease and desist letter through her lawyer. The male singer tried to contact his ex-lover in many ways, causing Maya Henry’s phone to explode. The former One Direction member also bothered Maya Henry’s family and friends. However, Maya Henry was extremely shocked when she heard the news of Liam Payne’s death . She received this information from a reporter’s call.

Liam Payne was born in 1993, he participated in the X-Factor program and was selected as a member of One Direction in 2010.

After the band disbanded, Liam Payne went solo. He has a son Bear Grey Payne (7 years old this year) with his ex-lover Cheryl, who is 10 years older.

Before his death at the age of 31, Liam Payne had a turbulent life. Sources close to him shared that Liam Payne struggled with depression and serious mental health issues in the last years of his life. “Before his death, Liam had been struggling with negative and harmful behaviors and intentions for a long time. He tried to overcome them and eliminate them from his life. But the ‘demons’ inside him (referring to psychological problems – PV) were much worse than what Liam showed on the outside,” the source said.

Liam also revealed that he went through the darkest period of his life due to drug and alcohol use. At that time, the singer was still a member of One Direction. “During the peak of One Direction, I turned to drugs and alcohol to cope with the pressure and had suicidal thoughts ,” Liam Payne shared. In 2023, the singer announced that he had completed 100 days in a rehab center in Louisiana, and thanked his loved ones for supporting him in the process of regaining sobriety.
