Robbie Williams pleads with people to think before ‘posting on internet’ in post about Liam Payne

He made a heartfelt plea

Payne was found dead at a hotel in Buenos Aires last Wednesday night (16 October), with emergency services stating he fell from a third-floor balcony at the hotel.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

There have been an inundation of tributes to the popular singer since his death, with many emotional messages showcasing how appreciated the singer was in the industry.

One of these was Robbie Williams who took to Instagram to open up about the singer's death.

Among detailing his memories with Liam, the former Take That singer also took a moment to send a message about how people use the internet.

Much of it in full caps, he wrote: "I guess in these moments it’s worth repeating -

"WE DON’T KNOW WHATS GOING ON IN PEOPLE’S LIVES.

"WHAT PAIN THEY’RE GOING THROUGH AND WHAT MAKES THEM BEHAVE IN THE WAY THAT THEY BEHAVE.

"BEFORE WE REACH TO JUDGEMENT, A BIT OF SLACK NEEDS TO BE GIVEN.

"BEFORE YOU TYPE ANYTHING ON THE INTERNET, HAVE A THINK ‘’DO I REALLY NEED TO PUBLISH THIS?’’, BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT YOU’RE DOING. YOU’RE

"PUBLISHING YOUR THOUGHTS FOR ANYBODY TO READ. EVEN IF YOU DON’T REALLY THINK THAT CELEBRITIES OR THEIR FAMILIES EXIST. THEY FUCKING DO.

"SKIN AND BONE AND IMMENSELY SENSITIVE.

"I still had my demons at 31. I relapsed. I was in pain. I was in pain because I relapsed. I relapsed because of a multitude of painful reasons. I remember Heath Ledger passing and thinking ‘I’m next’. By the grace of god and/or dumb luck I’m still here.

"The internet will unfortunately carry on being the internet. The media will unfortunately carry on being the media and fame will carry on being fame.

"Even famous strangers need your compassion," he added.

Williams finished off his post with the simple words: "Be Kind".

His post was met with replies of support and agreement from many fans and famous faces with both singer Olly Murs and footballer Harry Maguire in the comments.

One user wrote: "You have no idea how much it means to read this. Thank you, Robbie. Thank you for sharing yourself with us in this moment. Thank you for sharing our love for our Liam."

Another person commented: "Very well articulated. Raw and honest. RIP Liam Payne."

While another said: "Beautiful words."
