Can't believe it. I had no idea he was ill.

Oh my word, it's been quite the day for reliving my youth. Very sad.

JenniferJareau · 04/03/2019 18:06

Very sad. Can't believe it. Used to have a crush on him.

My teenage crush! So gutted. And Keith Flint too. My teenage self is in mourning.

Titsywoo · 04/03/2019 18:07

It was reported when he had the stroke a few days ago. Very sad :(

I had a massive Luke Perry poster in my bedroom (circa 1993) that I would kiss goodnight.

I still had it a few years later when my university boyfriend came to stay. He was slightly Hmm at my bedtime routine!

TheSassyAssassin · 04/03/2019 18:09

So sad. Also a crush of mine. RIP Luke Flowers

JenniferJareau · 04/03/2019 18:14

I missed the report that he was ill. Such a shock. I loved the 90210.

I can't believe it, especially after the news about Keith Flint earlier Sad

PickledLimes · 04/03/2019 18:16

I loved him back in the 90s. How terribly sad. I'd heard about his stroke. I was hoping that he'd make as full a recovery as possible but to no avail. Poor man. 52 is much too early.

VanillaSugarr · 04/03/2019 18:17

Very shocked at this. I knew he’d had a stroke and was in an induced coma but still.. he was only 52 and looked fit ShockSad

SheWoreBlueVelvet · 04/03/2019 18:17

Terribly sad also had a bit of a thing. although I am really upset by Keith Flint going. I’d played one of their songs today before I knew he had gone too.

I also feel bad because I remember my parents being aghast at people I’d never heard of dying. And my son now looks at me the same way...

Elderflower14 · 04/03/2019 18:18

Too old for 90210 but saw him in this a couple of years ago. Fab film... 💙

MrMeSeeks · 04/03/2019 18:18

Devestated. Just read he was signed up for the 90210 reboot too Sad

moglovesredroses · 04/03/2019 18:19

So sad. Dd is gutted (riverdale fan). I had wuite a crush on him when he was in 90210.

Phantology · 04/03/2019 18:19

Poor man. It's weird to think someone who was a teen pin-up (even though he was in his mid 20s) when you were a teen, has now died. I remember Beverly Hills 90210 being such a big deal when it launched.

Deadringer · 04/03/2019 18:21

Ah i loved him, shocking and very sad. Sad

MadisonAvenue · 04/03/2019 18:23

Oh my God no....I loved him back in the days of 90210.

I'd heard that he was taken ill last week but still, it's such a shock as he was so young.

TopBitchoftheWitches · 04/03/2019 18:24

Two people from my teenage years have died today, I feel a little sad about this. Both were so young still.
A stroke is an awful way to die.

humpydumpybumpy · 04/03/2019 18:32

One of my best friends was Uncle to Jason Priestley, so he would go and hang out with the cast of BH90210. He said that Luke Perry was a very nice young man with a really great heart. RIPFlowers and for DavidFlowers miss you forever.

xsquared · 04/03/2019 18:33

No way. Sad I read he had a stroke last week but was hoping he'd pull through.

Decormad38 · 04/03/2019 18:33

Who? Keith Flint has just died. Flowers RIP Keith

RedForShort · 04/03/2019 18:34

Unbelievable, and frightening was so young.

LuckyLou7 · 04/03/2019 18:37

This is really sad news. I heard he'd had a stroke but hoped he'd recover. Obviously not. Far too young to go. RIP.

Flashinggreen · 04/03/2019 18:37

He was my favourite in 90210
