no amount of money can undo the damage of being groomed for that level of exploitation. people saw how manipulatable, how marketable these boys were when they were sixteen and just wanted any chance they could get to sing; didn't care when they were injured, sick, disordered, addicted, suicidal; as long as they were alive and their bodies were on the stage, they were making money.

but don't think for a fucking second that industry heads like simon cowell etc wouldn't sell tribute merch with liam's face on it if they thought that they could get away with it.

to everyone hating on the lyric ‘you wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum I was raised in’. please tell me you get it now. please tell me we’re gonna do what we can to make sure there isn’t a next time
