emily horan :

James Corden loved these boys with his whole life more than Simon ever did in the 5 years

💚momrry💚 :

"my only regret with 1d is not owning the name" F this guy

mads 🦂 :

Neli 💐 :

YOU. BUILT. THIS. CAGE

gossip_poolside :

now what makes him think liam’s parents would wanna talk to him that day

Tia♡ :

I think he was genuinely loved Liam. His parents invited Simon to his funeral, I hope he checks on his artists more. That's all.

⋆⋅𖤓⋅⋆𝓪𝓵𝓲𝓬𝓲𝓪 ☯︎☕︎ :

Mind you, this man said his only regret with 1D was that he didn't own the name just months prior to Liam's passing. Yeah, sorry, I'll never find Simon to be a genuine person. He only saw Liam and the others as dollar signs.

Congra79 :

I’m pretty sure his parents had more going on than wanting to speak to Simon.

Naughtystimpy :

It must have been a huge shock - it's like finding out ur bank account has closed

ritadavies78 :

that boy didn't have the help he needed .

Sianny❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿❤️ :

He is visibly moved, he is human, he is a parent and relates to this type of news and knew him personally 😓😓😓

xav :

why does everyone hate Simon he seems like he cared for the boys. and not to mention he is the only reason we had 1D

carlieeeeee :

liams parents would never have let him to liams funeral if he was the monster people are trying to portray him to be ❤️

MyFavoriteArtists123 :

Nobody is to blame for what others choose to do with themselves. Liam is to blame for his choices. And the only other people that are at fault are the ones who gave him the d*ugs. Stop making it everyone else's fault.

cps :

Think he’s been the most sincere

Claire Lawrence :

Labels need to make sure mental health support is always on hand for artist.
