Liam Payne's obsession with bowling in 2024
When I think of musicians' obsession with a pastime that goes into overdrive, I think of Eric Clapton and fishing (mostly due to me being obsessed with Pattie Boyd's memoir Wonderful Tonight since when it came out in 2007). As Eric's partner then wife, Pattie learnt to gut fish to keep up with her husband's hobby. Then again thinking of Eric Clapton's substance abuse over the years, that might have something to do with it too..
There was a floral bowling pin at Liam Payne's funeral this Wednesday, so here are some of the few times that Liam had been obsessed with bowling this year. I say this year because to my knowledge, I don't think he was that obsessed previously.
@kateecass he drags me to bowling at least four times a week

Was this the last time Liam ever bowled? 4 Oct 2024, bowling in Argentina with Kate. Scoreboard says K vs L ↑
Bowling in Florida 24 Sep. This guy is called Derek Snook, he's appeared in some of Kate's TikToks. ↑
Mentioned this in my last post, but Liam "just so happened to arrive next to us at lane 59 on my father and his twin sister’s 59th birthday (9/22/2024). It was such a lovely time and you were such a proper/cool guy - especially, with how you handled my loud-Italian-family lol." ↑
Bowling to his own music (Get Low) around 27 Aug 2024 ↑
@kateecass Bowling is fun i think🤨@Kirsty

Bowling in Milan, 16 Aug 2024. LP, Boop (Kate), Kirsly (instead of Kirsty) etc. ↑
I feel this bowling obsession is a summer 2024 thing for Liam as I do not see any other bowling related content anywhere? In the process I found @liampayneflorals which has archived all of Liam's Snapchats, Kate's Instagram Stories and other fan encounters. There's other discoveries here for example how Roger Nores is literally everywhere (the suspect now in Liam's death who was also allegedly his manager), Liam was in Argentina in May to attend Louis Tomlinson's concert (which Maya Henry claims was to divert attention away from her book), and I cannot understand how someone can stay sane when their job is constantly taking photos with fans. A new perspective. Thanks @liampayneflorals account!
