Liam Payne 's second album has reportedly been put “on hold” after the star was hit by another career blow. The former One Direction member released Teardrops, the first single from his second album, in March, but the track failed to chart. And now, plans for the 31-year-old’s album have since stalled, according to The Sun after the singer parted ways with his manager.

“Things are tough for Liam at the moment. His former manager Roger stepped back earlier this year,” a source told the outlet. “He was a steady hand for Liam and he appears to be struggling without his guidance.

Things have started to seem slightly erratic, with plans being made before they are cancelled last minute. “Liam had been doing really well on his second album but now it's completely on pause. Liam is telling people now he has no idea if it'll ever be released.

” The Standard has contacted Liam Payne’s rep for comment. In February, Payne sparked concern when he shared a clip of himself breaking down in tears as he prepared to release single, Teardrops. Captioning the clip on TikTok, Payne said: “There were definitely a lot of teardrops shed in making these records and for the first time you really get a picture of what it was like for me each day of making this record.

“This album literally is that whole last year for me. How I was feeling on those days is each record. It was a snapshot of that day.

“So you can even help someone through a tough time, help somebody celebrate someth.
