One of the images from the Strip That Down singer’s funeral showed the 65-year-old being comforted by the pop star’s parents.
Therefore, a third fan wrote: “Simon Cowell, you are so disgusting! Seeing you been comforted by Liam’s parents made me sick to my stomach. F*** off Simon, you were and are part of Liam’s pain.”
