A musician told how he endured a series of heartbreaking events before being given a new lease of life. Paul Williams, 56, from Walton<\/a>, worked in the music<\/a> industry for many years both as a musician in bands and as a producer. But things haven\u2019t always been easy for Paul due to a series of tragic events which all took place within five years, including two heart attacks and the deaths of close family members.<\/p>\n Speaking to the ECHO<\/a>, Paul said: \u201dI was in a band for about 15 years. We managed to get to number one in Europe and I think number three in the world on a site called mp3.com. It was like a pay-per-click site back when nobody had computers. None of us had a computer, none of us had a mobile phone. The bass player’s brother set everything up for us. Sony ended up approaching us.<\/p>\n However, personal circumstances affecting a band member led to it \u201cfalling apart\u201d. Paul left the music industry but in 2016 his life took a dramatic twist. He said: \u201cIn 2016 I had my first heart attack. In 2017, I lost my mum. In 2019, I had my second heart attack. In 2022, my partner’s mother who used to live with us died. Then in 2023, my dad passed, so it’s been quite a bad few years for me.<\/p>\n \u201cEach time I’ve got on my feet, the rug’s been pulled from under me. I had a second heart attack and that’s when I decided to go back into music. I set a record label up and got a couple of acts who\u2019d been on the charts. Then my dad became ill and I had to look after him. I just shut everything down.<\/p>\n \u201cI closed my socials and everything so nobody could contact me about the music. For the next three years I did nothing and I had no intention of picking music back up. I was thinking, I\u2019m not doing it, this is the time to relax.\u201d<\/p>\n But a conversation with a fellow Liverpool<\/a> fan Dave Johnson changed his mind. Dave has a large following on social media and asked him if he would be interested in doing a song to mark Liverpool\u2019s impending league title victory.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cDave had mentioned the chances of Liverpool winning the league. And he basically said to me, do you reckon we\u2019d be able to do a song? I pushed back a little bit at first. I said, I don’t want to get pulled into this. But I went home and I thought about the situation and the size of Liverpool\u2019s fan base and everything.<\/p>\n \u201cI was like, this could actually work if they actually win the league. So I got back in contact with him and started working on it about four months ago.\u201d<\/p>\n
