A brand-new Impact x Nightline special is dropping this week, and it’s all about the one and only Liam Payne, who, in a plot twist nobody saw coming, tragically passed away last week. Yes, you heard that right—Liam Payne from One Direction, aka the man who made us swoon and question our life choices all at once.
Titled One Direction: Liam Payne’s Final Days, this gut-wrenching drama will hit Hulu on Thursday, October 24. Nightline anchor Juju Chang will lead this wild ride, ready to dig deep into the soap opera that was Liam’s life. Spoiler alert: there will be more twists than a pretzel factory!
So what’s the scoop? Picture this: drugs, a hotel room that looks like a tornado just took a leisurely stroll through it, and a fall that we can only assume was choreographed by a very confused director. How did the sparkle of One Direction’s star dim so rapidly? We’re here to spill the tea on the dark side of fame! Because, apparently, fame isn’t just all red carpets and free lattes.
In this special episode, expect to see some familiar faces chatting about Liam, including Mary Byrne, a former X Factor contestant who shared the spotlight with him—talk about a throwback! You’ll also hear from social psychologist Dr. Azadeh Aalai, who will probably try to explain why we’re all so obsessed with pop stars, and a superfan named Natalie Barada, who likely has more One Direction posters than actual wall space.
But wait, there’s more! The episode will feature ABC News contributors Chris Connelly, Kelley Carter, and Megan Ryte, because why not? More opinions make for a livelier show!
So grab your popcorn and prepare for an emotional rollercoaster that promises more drama than a reality show reunion!
