Payne has been dealing with health issues since he was a young boy.

He was born prematurely and experienced damaged kidneys, spending extended periods of his childhood in the hospital.

“I essentially passed away as an infant,” he disclosed in a 2011 interview.

“I was born three weeks ahead of schedule and I continued to fall ill.

I was always in the hospital, unable to find out what was wrong, but they couldn’t do any tests from the age of four to zero.

Payne has also been in and out of rehabilitation, once spending 100 days in a Louisiana center after reaching a low point.

In a July 2023 interview, he disclosed that he had limited interaction with the external world throughout that period.

After completing his rehabilitation program, he had remained abstinent for half a year.

He mentioned, “At some point, you will realize that whatever you are currently doing isn’t right. You have to find something different to do when you hit rock bottom.”

“I was in poor condition up until that moment.”

Payne has previously admitted that he drank heavily during his One Direction days, frequently emptying minibars during the band’s sellout world tours.

He mentioned that he needed to take a break after One Direction broke up in 2015.

“I sort of transformed into someone whom I didn’t truly recognize anymore,” he expressed.

“And I’m certain you all didn’t either.

I was really happy after arriving at a point where work and life were no longer hindering me, and I was in a bad shape until then.

In the video, Payne also expressed regret for remarks he made in a 2022 installment of Logan Paul’s Impaulsive podcast.

“Much of what I stated originated from an improper source,” he expressed.

During his appearance on the podcast, Payne commented on Zayn Malik’s complicated relationship and his decision to pursue a solo career after leaving One Direction in 2015, stating, “There are numerous reasons why I don’t like Zayn and there are numerous reasons why I will always, always support him.”

In order to recover, he expressed gratitude to his ex-partner Cheryl Cole, with whom he has a six-year-old son named Bear, for providing him with “liberty” and encouragement.

Payne said that a portion of his motivation in seeking assistance was to become a better father to Bear.

“There’s no purpose in being a father when you have nothing to instruct,” he suggested.

Payne declared that when it comes to drinking, “the celebration has ended”.
