The businessman said that he was against the idea, as Liam “knew too many people in the UK; it would be too easy for him to relapse.” Roger said he thought Liam ultimately felt the same, and stated that they had “the biggest argument” as Roger feared seeing all of Liam’s work in recovery go down the drain.
Roger claimed that things quickly went downhill when Liam’s dad Geoff encouraged Liam to return to Manchester in August to appear in upcoming Netflix show Building The Band.
After their separation, Roger and Liam then reunited in Argentina on October 13, when Liam supposedly laid out major plans for his future - but died just three days later.
The outlet reports that Liam’s manager, Finan O’Connor, called Roger, who told him that Liam had been rushed to hospital and resuscitated after an overdose, and was in intensive care in a critical condition.
The musician headed to Florida that summer with girlfriend Kate Cassidy, and Roger said that the Liam he met was “shivering and clearly unwell.” He recalled: “He told me he’d lost 20kg and weighed just 60kg.”.
