However, someone else has also drawn attention on social media—Stan, Payne’s pit bull, whom the singer considered like a son. Liam Payne often posted videos on his social media, showcasing the strong bond he shared with his dog. “Off on my afternoon run, of course Stan attempts to keep up” he once shared in a post.
As for the dog’s future, several media outlets report that Payne had arranged for his mother to care for Stan in the event of his absence. So far, the family has not provided further details about the dog’s fate.
It has also been revealed that the singer struggled with depression, so it’s possible he had planned for his dog’s future in case something happened to him. His ex-girlfriend, Maya Henry, mentioned in a podcast that Liam frequently spoke about death. “He always joked about dying, saying, ‘Well, I’m going to die, I’m not doing well.’ I know the lifestyle he leads, and there will come a day when something happens,” she revealed.
