Last week (16 Oct), Liam Payne\u00a0tragically passed away<\/a>\u00a0at the age of 31. The\u00a0One Direction<\/a>\u00a0singer fell from the third-floor balcony of the CasaSur hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina. In the wake of his death, many of Liam’s friends and\u00a0family<\/a>\u00a0have paid tribute to him including his bandmates\u00a0Harry Styles<\/a>,\u00a0Niall Horan<\/a>,\u00a0Louis Tomlinson<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Zayn<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Celebrities including\u00a0Cheryl,<\/a>\u00a0Bruce Springsteen, Rebecca Ferguson and Robbie Williams have also taken to social media to criticise the media and the music industry. Now, Liam’s fans have setup a petition to introduce laws in the industry that safeguard the meant health of artists.<\/p>\n

On 18th October, a Liam fan called Day Kv set up a Change.org petition titled: “Enact Legislation to Safeguard Artists’ Mental Health in the Entertainment Industry<\/a>“. They then wrote: “In recent news of Liam Payne’s tragic death as many others, the entertainment industry needs to be held accountable and be responsible to the welfare of their artists.”<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Explaining her aims, Day added: “We seek to implore lawmakers to create legislation safeguarding the mental health of artists within the industry. Such a law would necessitate regular mental health check-ups, adequate rest periods, and the presence of mental health professionals on-set, including any ongoing support during their career.”<\/p>\n

They ended by writing: “Your signature could be a lifeline for these talented individuals, contributing to a larger movement of mental health awareness and care in industries worldwide. Please, sign the petition.”<\/p>\n

Day has suggested calling the law ‘Liam’s Law’ and, as it stands, over 60,000 people have signed the petition.<\/p>\n

Throughout his life, Liam spoke candidly about the negative effects of fame and his own mental health struggles. In his 2019 show\u00a0Ant Middleton And Liam Payne: Straight Talking<\/em>, Liam said: “For some certain circumstances – I’m quite lucky to be here still, which is something I’ve never really shared with anyone.”<\/p>\n

Opening up further, Liam said: “There’s times where that level of loneliness and people getting into you every day. Just every so often, you’re like, when will this end? That’s almost nearly killed me a couple of times.”<\/p>\n
