Boy George Reflects on Regretful Comments About Liam Payne Before His Death

The Culture Club singer expressed remorse for calling Payne 'off his nut' shortly before the One Direction star's fatal fall in Buenos Aires.

Boy George admitted on the High Performance podcast that his comment about Liam Payne being 'off his nut' was unkind, though he believed Payne seemed 'out of control.'
The 31-year-old singer died on October 16 after falling from a Buenos Aires hotel balcony, with toxicology reports revealing drugs and alcohol in his system.
George compared the shock of Payne's death to the loss of Amy Winehouse, describing it as senseless and deeply upsetting.
Three individuals have been charged in connection with Payne's death, including his alleged drug supplier, a hotel employee, and an associate accused of abandonment leading to death.
Payne's private funeral in the UK was attended by his One Direction bandmates, Simon Cowell, and other close friends and family.
