The singer was speaking on the High Performance podcast when he reflected on a comment he'd made on social media about Liam a few days before he died. "I'd actually put a message under a post saying, 'He's off his nut,' which wasn't very nice, but I felt it. I felt like he was out of control." Liam died on 16 October after falling from a third-floor hotel balcony in Buenos Aires. He was 31. Boy George recalled learning of the former One Direction star's death.
