Liam Payne spent the nights before his death paying into sick children’s GoFundMe accounts live on Snapchat. The singer, 31, had quietly been spending his evenings completing the GoFundMe pages of sick children in America.

Liam said being a dad to his son Bear, who he shares with Cheryl, means he can’t just sit back and not help. He said: “As a father, it hits me differently. I would want everyone in the world helping. I have been spending the last few nights trying to finish off the donations so they can get the operations they need - they would be free in my country.

“I can’t not look at a sick child and not see Bear. I can’t and I won’t. I’m not asking for people to say well done or I’m amazing - I don’t give a f*** about what people think of me." Liam said: “What I care about is that that child gets to live the life it's supposed to.”

Payne has been praised for his “compassion and kindness” by a food bank charity he had supported since the Covid pandemic. The One Direction singer had said he was glad to be able to play “my small part” in donating to provide hundreds of thousands of meals, as well as getting involved at his local food bank.

Anti-poverty charity Trussell, which runs a network of 1,400 food bank locations across the UK, said Payne had been a “generous supporter” of its work for the past four years. In March 2020, Payne donated to the charity – then known as Trussell Trust – to support more than 100 food bank centres in Birmingham, Stoke-on-Trent, Coventry, Sheffield, Nottingham and Bristol as they provided help to people in crisis.

At the time the charity said the donation would enable them to launch a crisis fund for food banks to help with recruiting additional staff, hiring delivery vehicles or extra space, or, if necessary and available, buying food. At the time, the singer said: “It’s not right that anyone in our country is unable to afford food. Food banks do incredible work to help the people most in need of support.

“It’s vital that we get support to those people right now, as this crisis unfolds.”
