I'd coffee with him in Buenos Aires only last summer - I'm shocked :eek:

Ronnie Drew... even though I'd heard he'd been it, it was still a shock.

I think it was because that was around the time I'd really got into The Dubliners, and it was the sudden realisation I'd never be able to see him live.

Saw him driving out of a car park one day.
Ashtray was overflowing with cigarette butts, the passenger footwell was full of butts and he was smoking a fag..........he looked happy with himself though!!

Chris P. Bacon

Frank Grimes.

He achieved so much in a hard life,and had it cruelly taken away from him in an electrical accident,still haunts me to this day.

It wasnt an accident,the man was showboating in front of his co-workers..Grimey got what he deserved IMO.

VinnyTGM

None of them.

Ah now that's a totally uncalled for comment,Grimey had a very hard life and his only vice was meeting prostitutes,can you imagine finishing a 12hr shift then going home to your apartment and its below a bowling alley and on top of another bowling alley.

I think he should be recognised for all the work he done throughout his life,see its people like you who coast through life and expect everything to be done for them.You sir are what's wrong with Ireland.

Very nice house BTW.

Darren Sutherland. Just so sad for his family and friends.

Dermot Morgan because there would be no more Father Ted and he was at the peak of his career.

Cat Melodeon

I don't generally give much of a crap about whether slebs live or die, but I was surprisingly upset when Sérgio Vieira de Mello, a Brazilian diplomat, was killed in a bomb blast in Iraq. Brilliant speaker, tireless humanitarian and the only older man I've ever lusted after.

Mr. Incognito

Katy French- but I didn't know it had till the Sindo told me about it on the front page for a year.

Da Shins Kelly

I don't think I've ever really been actually very upset by the death of a celebrity, but I've been shocked. I was shocked by Heath Ledger's death, and I felt a bit sad for his family, particularly his child. I was also a little shocked by Michael Jackson's death.

I might be sad when Christopher Hitchens dies, which will probably be sooner rather than later.

krudler

Chris Benoit as well, but more because of the circumstances and its ramifications.

Ike Turner
what a man, what a scumbag really

My dad. The biggest celebrity in my life. :mad:

Darren Sutherland - Such a shame to lose such a bright and talented man in his prime. I just felt sickened by the surreality of the news.

Heath Ledger, no idea why.

JerryHandbag

Payne Stewart, american golfer well known for wearing colourful clothing attire, killed in a plane crash in 1999 just months after winning the US Open again at age 42. Left behind a wife and 2 kids.

Also on the sporting field the deaths of Marc Vivien Foe and Cormac MacAnallen shocked me deeply.

Dermot Morgan, I couldnt believe that Fr.Ted was dead

And even though I didnt listen to his music when he died in 1995, but I find it terribly sad that Rory Gallagher isnt still with us playin' the blues

Trevor451

None :rolleyes:

dlofnep

Bruce Lee. Funny thing was, I grew up as a kid watching him, and when I was 8 or 9 my dad decided to tell me that he was dead (Bruce was gone 9 years before I was even born!). I actually felt like I lost a friend. It was for me, my first bereavement

Mufasa

Also - has anyone questioned why there is a "t?" at the end of the thread title?

Ghost Train

Brittany Murphy for some reason

Racing driver Greg Moore is another one that comes to mind

inforfun

Theo Van Gogh.
Maybe not an international celebrity before he got slaughtered in public in broad daylight for having an opinion on islam.

DingosAteMyBaby

Heath Ledger - he had so much potential:(

And of course Michael Jackson.

Catari Jaguar

Brad Renfro.... *heart breaks* Overshadowed by Heath Ledger's death. He was a much better actor. I've loved him since seeing The Client as a kid. Raw talent and just so cool. I'll feel the same way if Edward Furlong goes, and he has come close...

Corey Haim too. Just superb in Lost Boys.

Dennis Hopper. RIP ya crazy bastard!

Patrick Swayze. He was so optimistic so determined to beat it, I really thought he would.

Thanks a lot OP

Eddie.

So, so talented and had turned his life around, only to have his past catch up with him.

She was just such a good person and so generous to the community. When I think of poor Ned and those 2 beautiful boys she left behind, Rod and Todd.

It still brings a lump to my throat even now.

Jade Goody's death affected me - Sickipedia crashed for a few hours!

Lassie - she could be an awful bitch, but she saved the lives of a lot of people.
I was glad when Skippy died, he was only taking the piss.

She wasn't a celebrity, but she was famous.

John Candy

While it defend affect me much at the time, there is days when I'm watching Fr. Ted and think to myself, Dermot Morgan had so much more to offer with that show.

Ahm, I can't think of any body else really.

Ayrton Senna - I wouldnt class him as a celebrity though, he was a racing driver known the world over as one of the greatest

He is my all time sporting idol. He was totally obsessed with winning - probably too much.
I'll never forget the day he died, i was completely and utterly devastated.
Proud to say i saw him race 3 times, Silverstone '91, '92 & Donington '93.

Peter Steele from TON.

cournioni

"Dimebag" Darrell Abbott from Pantera.

His music had a huge influence on me when I was growing up. It got me through the ups and downs of being a teenager, but also because he was renowned for being a great character. If you watch any of Pantera's home videos he did nothing but bring a smile to everybodys face and was a real gent. It was shocking how he died.

Saint_Mel

Jebus I thought I was trapped in a Facebook status update for a while!
People who are affected by the death of "celebs"/people they dont actually know are just attention starved fools.

And as for the celebs themselves ... I had never even heard of Heath Ledger until he kicked the bucket!
