The death of Liam Payne at 31 has prompted some soul searching for the music industry about their duty of care to young artists. Payne was 14 when he first auditioned for "The X Factor" and 16 when he won a spot in One Direction, the boy band created by Simon Cowell.
Rebecca Ferguson, a singer who appeared on the same series of "The X Factor" as Payne, wrote on social media about "the exploitation and profiteering of young stars," while Bruce Springsteen told the Daily Telegraph that "young people don't have the inner facility or the inner self yet to be able to protect themselves from a lot of the things that come with success and fame ... So they get lost in a lot of the difficult and often pain-inducing [things] ... whether it's drugs or alcohol to take some of that pressure off." npub1csxa4pjh2vn727xh69aqmhf8em765wh6luc8vxsf3kuv660u6zms2lvz3m (npub1csx…vz3m) sums up the discussion.
