💨 Abstract

Simon Cowell has defended himself against criticisms following Liam Payne's death, emphasizing that he couldn't be held responsible for Payne's life a decade after signing him. Payne, who died in 2024, first found fame on "The X Factor" at 16. Cowell recalled his last conversation with Payne, where he advised him to find passions beyond music.
