What celebrities deaths made you feel sad when they died.

AMKC

Katy French as I was a big follower of her she had great fashion sense and was a stunning girl really wish she had not get into all that drug stuff.
Micheal Jackson was a huge loss too very sad when he died. The world had lost a truly amazing singer.
Whitney Houston also very sad and another amazing singer gone.
Christopher Reeve the one true Superman there will never be anyone as good as him. He was a fighter right to the end and gave hope to lots of people by fighting to get back walking again.
Robin Williams he truly was a brilliant actor another great loss.
The great Leonard Nimoy is another I was very sad about when he died.
Heath Ledger is another that I was shocked about when he died.

Jack the Stripper

Katy French aswell as she was so young and her career was really only taking off when she died. Can't believe its nearly 10 years! So sad who knows what she would be doing now in her career.
Cormac McAnallen aswell so young and so much potential.

MadDog76

None.

Anthony Foley's death genuinelly shocked and and saddened me.

He had so much more ahead of him in life, as a rugby coach, father and husband.

At 42 he was so young in the relative grand scheme of things. You don't expect a fit man like that to die in his prime.

Prince. I idolised that man when I was younger.

C'mon lads, ye are making a farce of the thread. It's about people who actually died.

Cervantes2

Christopher Hitchens.

Noveight

Robin Williams, as already mentioned.

John Hurt's passing set me back a small bit. One of my favourite pieces of acting is him as Bird O'Donnell.

Dick phelan

Steve Irwin guy so full of life his love of animals is something i like in people, such a young family as well and all the dangerous animals he dealt with the fcuking singrays kill him.

Heath Ledger was pretty sad amazing actor and had such a young daughter

RabbleRouser2k

Mike Weiringo
Dwayne McDuffie
Patrick Swayze
John Hurt
Bob Hoskins
Michael Jackson
Prince
Heath Ledger

The first is a comic book artist-died sudden of a heart attack. HAd a really lovely style, disney by way of Marvel. Went to the gym, didn't smoke, didn't do drugs, was a vegetarian. His death and circumstances shocked a lot of his fans.

Dwayne McDuffie-heart as well. Wrote a ton of comics and TV shows-loved his writing style and how he interacted with fans.

Swayze I remember vividly-when he was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer, and how he died. The guy was part of my childhood-I still get emotional watching Dirty DAncing and Ghost, and I'm a grown ass man...with a Disney collection. Anyways, the reason it hit me, was because he died of the very same illness my dad had, and I genuinely hoped he would beat the damn disease. PAncreatic Cancer is a horrific disease. Seems no amount of money can combat it tho-the survival rates aren't improving either.

John Hurt-same story. Guy was a cornerstone of so many great movies-his roles in Elephant Man and Alien cemented him within cinema. And the disease was caught early-but the darn thing had complications. F*** it!

Bob Hoskins-Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Back to the Future...they are just milestones of my childhood. I love them so much, and Roger Rabbit is just sheer magic. I know how they did it, I know the creative process, I'm fascinated by it...yet when I watch the movie, I just believe the illusion is real. And Hoskins in front of the camera is key to it working. He sells the illusion when he's only acting with air. His passing was a total shock. One minute he'd retired, the next he was gone.

Yes-it's been said all too many times about JAckson-everything in his life became a circus, even his death.

Prince-Guy could still look cool as ice, even when doing 'Bat Dance'.

Ledger-life can be so cruel. He delivers such a chilling, enthralling interpretation of the Joker-some of who's manipulations show he's a cold blooded individual. Yet his entrance into the Dark Knight is so brilliant, so amazing. He somehow makes Batman's challenge seem all the more like a mountain. Like how can he stop a guy who seemingly has no qualms.
And then Ledger dies-just as he should be enjoying the plaudits, he dies. I remember waking up that morning to the news he had died...I was stopped dead in my tracks. Had been viewing the trailer religiously for TDK.
And despite the brilliance of the Joker, got the feeling he had more in the tank.

Calhoun

I could put many names in this but the main one that comes to mind is Rik Mayall. Growing up with the old pipe (7 channels) i used to watch Bottom and the young ones with my brothers.

Grayson

River Phoenix. He was about the same age as me and I remember spending the day thinking "What a waste. How did something so pointless happen".

Beasty

Winston Churchill

I was only 4 at the time though....

TBF, Ryan brought it on himself-the shock there was his raging coke habit.

Ayrton Senna. He really was a magnificent talent and to die on live tv was horrific and sad.

Died the same day as George Best, and there was barely a word about it.
Colin McRae in 2007. I was devastated.

Aw God, I forgot about McCrae. I remember EVERYONE had a copy of his games-on Playstation, or PC. He was everywhere.

Glenn Quinn in 2002-though I only discovered he had died about a year or two later (A weird year in 2002-my grandmother had passed away, so I didn't hear a lot of the news at the time-it was kind of the end of an era when she passed). He was an Irish actor, was in Angel, and Roseanne-gets very little mention nowadays when discussing Irish actors.

Dunno if any have made me sad but Weringo did shock me at the time. Similarly Michael Turner, and Darwyn Cooke.

Absolutely..I'd add Colin McRae and Frank Meagher to the list ,all still very much missed.

Little CuChulainn

Terry Pratchett. He was a satirical genius. I'm quite sad I won't get to read a new Discworld novel but I look forward to reading them all to my son. I hope he will learn some valuable life lessons from them like I did.
