Liam Payne has secretly recorded his comeback video in Ireland and fans won’t have to wait long to hear it
LIAM Payne has secretly recorded his comeback music video after jetting to Ireland to slip under the radar from fans.
The Sun can reveal that Liam Payne and his team made the trip last month to shoot the big budget clip ahead of his planned return to the charts next year.
The release is set to mark a new direction – pun intended – for the Strip That Down singer who struggled to find his feet with his debut record LP1.
A source said: “Liam flew to Ireland in October to film the video in October but while fans saw him out and about he managed to keep the shoot under wraps.
“Initially the release was for the end of 2023 but with Liam being admitted to hospital in September the timeline has been pushed back.
“He’s now doing great and the plan is to drop the comeback single in the first few months of 2024. After a lot of searching he’s finally found his sound.”
In September The Sun told how Liam had been rushed to hospital for the second time in as many months amid issues with his kidneys.
He had been holidaying with girlfriend Kate Cassidy in Italy before being race from his luxury hotel to hospital via an ambivalence.
A source at the time said: “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.
“They want to do every test possible to understand the issue fully but they now suspect that there has been an underlying issue for a while that has been getting worse.”
A week later he was discharged by medics and returned home to England to recover.
He had initially been all set to tour South America but the tour was axed at the last minute under doctors orders.
Speaking earlier this year about his solo career, Liam said: “To be honest with you, when I became solo, I didn’t rehearse very much so we’ve rehearsed — we’re rehearsing a lot for these shows.
“Hopefully it’ll be a much better put-together show, I wanna put some good videos in the background, some good things about me for people to learn about what I’ve been doing for the last two years.
“I’m just excited to show this new side of myself.”
