What celebrities deaths made you feel sad when they died.

Terry Pratchett.

One of the only times in my life I've shed a tear when I heard of a "celebrity" passing.

Read his books since I was a young child, absolutely devoured all of them - remember the excitement of discovering a new Pratchett book I hadn't read. They shaped a lot of how I view the world for years.

Robin Williams for me.

He brought me and others so much joy and laughter with his movies and standup that I was so saddened that he couldn't find that joy for himself.

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.

Wait. Bob Hoskins, BTTF??

Also Patrick Swayze. Love Point Break.

Marco Simoncellis death was devastating, I still get sad when I see footage of him racing.

I was just going to post about Marco Simoncelli myself.
That was pretty sad seeing that.

Phoenix Wright

Richard Harris (Dumbledore), Richard Griffiths (Vernon Dursley), Alan Rickman (Severus Snape) and most recently, John Hurt (Olivander). They were all staples in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone which was easily my favourite movie growing up.

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.

What's a good Pratchett book to begin with?

Son is 12.

Phil Harris from Deadliest Catch was another one that got to me.

Bill Paxton's wikipedia page is saying that he has died - complications from surgery apparently at the young age of 61. Hopefully fake but some major new outlets have it.

I've just seen the news that Bill Paxton is dead. Always liked him in Aliens, amongst other things. R.I.P.

Agreed.Absolute legend.I was genuinely sad when Cecil Bustamente AKA Prince Buster died,The grandaddy of ska music.Also Robin Williams,I was never a fan but the circumstances of his death upset me,one of the rare examples of the old adage 'money won't bring you happiness'.Tragic.

Robin Williams, Alan Rickman and Terry Wogan's deaths all had an impact for me as some of my favourite stars from my childhood.

The deaths of Tito Vilanova and Adam Yauch were also very upsetting for me but in a different way. Both died from cancers in the parotid gland which is something that I had myself as a teenager. Their deaths made me realise both how serious it could have been and how lucky I was. I had never really realised that dying was an actual possibility before then.

Alan Rickman hit me hard. I still get teary watching his movies. Same with Robin Williams

I never really feel anything when I hear of celebrity deaths. Normally I just kind of go ahhh no and move on but I really liked Bill Paxton for some reason so I feel a bit sad over it. He made some great appearances in movies I like

James Avery. I loved Fresh Prince of Bel Air growing up and I was absolutely gutted when I heard Uncle Phil had died.

I thought Carrie Fisher dying so(relatively) young was very sad and with her mother dying the day after due to stress, just thinking about how tragic it must have all been for the remaining Fisher family

Undercover

James Gandolfini, a tour de force as Tony Soprano.

Probably a weird one, but Terry Wogan.

Grew up watching him in the 80s and always gives me memories of the Eurovision. He reminded me massively of my father, so really felt it when Terry died.

Keith Floyd.

Saw a clip of him today, he was ahead of his time.

His exuberance and chaotic style were a breath of fresh air to TV cooking, despite his financial troubles and the fact he never trained as a Chef.

Rik Mayall. I was stunned when I heard that he had died. One of my all-time favourite men.One of my first and most enduring crushes. I'm still really sad about it.

Dermot Morgan, I was in my late teens and had been listening to Dermot on the radio for years. Myself and my brother used to tape Scrap Saturday and listen to it all week. Of course Fr. Ted was also huge but I have such fond memories of his voice on the radio.

Losing Prince, Leonard and Bowie all in a row was shocking.

Don't think that's a weird one at all.

Of all the 2016 deaths, it was Bowie & Wogan's demise that lingered a bit for me. His chat show & Blankety Blank were always on in my house & his frames of reference & gentle sense of humour would have been similar to that of many Irish men born in the 1940s. Reminded me quite a bit of my Dad too.
