Hi! My name is Lilly ( @lontourr) , and I’m excited to invite you all to a special fundraising event: a screening of the movie This Is Us in honour of former One Direction member Liam Payne, who tragically passed away recently. All proceeds from this event will be donated to Headspace, an organization providing support for mental health, as well as drug and alcohol abuse.

The event will take place on January 10, 2025, and my goal is to turn this vision into a reality bringing the strong community of Brisbane & Ipswich region Directioners together for a good cause , this evening is not just about honouring Liam’s memory but also about raising awareness of the challenges that contributed to his passing, and bringing a community together in the tough moments . Issues like mental health struggles and substance abuse, especially among young people, deserve our urgent attention. So I thought ? What better way to inspire action and bring our community together than through this heartfelt tribute !

I hope you’ll join us in supporting this important cause. Let’s come together to make a difference and honour Liam’s legacy. See you there!

Liam was born in Wolverhampton, West Midland, England, UK to, parents, Geoff and Karen Payne. He has two older sisters, Nicola and Ruth. Liam was born three weeks early, and as a result he had a lot of health problems. Since age 6 Liam showed signs of musical talent but he had his heart set on becoming an Olympic runner, he was a member of the Wolverhampton and Bilston Athletics Club. He would wake up at 5am every day to run five miles before school. His running dream ended at 14 years old when he narrowly missed out on a spot in the England schools team. At that point, he decided to completely focus on his singing, although he still loves his football club, West Bromwich Albion.- IMDb Mini Biography By: A.D.M.J

One Direction, often shortened to 1D, were an English-Irish pop boy band formed in London in 2010. The group consisted of Niall Horan, Zayn Malik (until his departure in 2015), Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson. They became one of the best-selling boy groups of all time before going on an indefinite hiatus in 2016.

The group signed with Simon Cowell's record label Syco Records after forming and placing third in the seventh series of the British televised singing competition The X Factor in 2010. Propelled to global success by social media,[1][2][3] One Direction's five albums, Up All Night (2011), Take Me Home (2012), Midnight Memories (2013), Four (2014) and Made in the A.M. (2015), topped charts in several countries and generated hit singles including "What Makes You Beautiful", "Live While We're Young", "Best Song Ever", "Story of My Life" and "Drag Me Down". Midnight Memories was the best-selling album worldwide of 2013.[4] With the release of Four, One Direction became the first band to have their first four albums debut at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart.[5]

Considered teen idols, One Direction were often subject to fan hysteria.[6][7] They embarked on four world tours, two of which were all-stadium. The band's Where We Are Tour, in support of Midnight Memories, was the highest-grossing concert tour in 2014, the highest-grossing tour by a vocal group in history and the 15th highest-grossing concert tour of all time, grossing $290.2 million.[8] The band went on indefinite hiatus in January 2016, allowing all members to pursue other projects.[9][10]

As of 2020, the band had sold a total of 70 million records worldwide,[11] making them one of the best-selling boy bands of all time.[12] The band have won nearly 200 awards, including seven Brit Awards, four MTV Video Music Awards, six Billboard Music Awards, seven American Music Awards (including Artist of the Year in 2014 and 2015) and 28 Teen Choice Awards. In 2013, they earned an estimated $75 million, becoming the second-highest-earning celebrity under 30 according to Forbes.[13] As the world's best-selling artist of 2013, the group was named the Global Recording Artist of the Year by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry.[14] In 2014, Billboard named the band "Artist of the Year".[15][16] Forbes ranked them as the fourth highest-earning celebrities in the world in 2015[17] and subsequently in second in 2016.[18]
