Liam Payne opens up about alcohol abuse and his 'toxic' time in One Direction

Liam Payne was 14 years old when One Direction rose to fame, and it wasn't an easy transition for him.

In an interview with Men's Health Australia, the boy band member revealed how he struggled to keep up while he quickly tried to mature and grow into adulthood.

"When you're doing hundreds and hundreds of (concerts) and it's the same 22 songs at the same time every single day, even if you're not happy, you've got to go out there," Payne said.
