Robbie Williams calls for music industry to create 'support group for young stars struggling with fame' after tragic death of Liam Payne aged 31


The Take That star, 50, said he hoped something would be done in Liam's name to 'protect people' as he opened up about his own difficulties navigating fame at a young age.

Robbie called for mental health awareness and said he firmly believes the music industry needs a 'think tank of empathetic and compassionate creatives' claiming many young musician's 'don't make it to the other end'. Liam - who was laid to rest at St Mary's Church in Amersham on Wednesday - died after falling from his hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina, aged just 31 (pictured in 2016) Liam was equally outspoken about how the global fame of One Direction changed his life and affected his relationship with drugs and alcohol , once admitting: 'I don't know if I've hit rock bottom yet' (pictured 2018)
