Liam Payne's 'secret struggles' after One Direction as he's rushed to hospital
Liam Payne's friends have shared the star's secret struggles away from One Direction as he was rushed to hospital.
The singer, 30, was rushed to hospital this week as he was celebrating his one-year anniversary with 23-year-old girlfriend Kate Cassidy at the five star Mandarin Oriental hotel in Lake Como. Liam was reportedly “in agony” before he was rushed to hospital, where is expected to spend six days in hospital while he is treated.
Anxious One Direction fans have begged Liam’s girlfriend to provide more information about his condition after she had been sharing snaps via Instagram of her lake-side vacation - before events took a turn for the worst. Now, a friend of Liam has shared that the pop star has "struggled" with life after One Direction took a break in 2015.

Liam struggled so much in the band due to the heavy workload and being in the spotlight." They shared Liam was in a bubble while in the band and the "restrictions really took their toll". Adding: "His partying since the band's break could well be a reaction to this."
Liam's 64-year-old mother Karen says she has been left feeling “helpless” while her son is in care in a foreign country more than 900 miles away. Speaking to the MailOnline, she said: “We are all worried sick about it but we just have to get on. It’s horrible – him being all the way over there. He’s in Milan and it sounds like he’ll be there for a week. I feel helpless.”

On Tuesday, news broke that Liam had been rushed to hospital after suffering pain in his kidneys. A source told The Sun: “Liam is in a bad way but he’s in the best place he can be and finally doctors will be able to get to the bottom of what is going on. Naturally he is gutted that his and Kate’s trip to Lake Como has been ruined but at least she was there to help him when he fell ill.
"Doctors have warned him not to expect to be signed off to go home for at least another six days." It has been well documented that Liam has suffered from health issues ever since he was a newborn baby as he arrived into the world several weeks premature. Doctors discovered he had scarring on one of his kidneys and he was required to receive sixteen injections into each of his arms twice a day to keep him alive.
His health eventually improved as he grew older and he threw himself into sports to keep healthy. He later explained that his health scare as a baby gave him a clear perspective to live a healthier life. He said previously: "I have to be careful not to drink too much, even water, and I have to keep myself as healthy as possible."
