Which famous people are you dreading dying..

[Sausagewrole]

Bob Dylan. My dad is obsessed, saw him lots in the early days. He, and I will be gutted when he dies.

Paul Wellor, same reason but for my partner

MeatLoaf. Love him, his music. I’ll be so sad when he dies..

The Queen, Michael Palin and Maggie Smith

The queen

Anyone else dies my life goes on when the queen dies it will change the country we all live in right down to the money we use

Elton John would not be on my list, nor Stephen Fry.

I think the thing about people in their 90s is that they have been part of our lives and our culture for all of our lives. I don't even know who Kobe is- someone above mentioned Kobe. For me it is people who have been around for my childhood, growing up and adulthood. I can't remember a time without them.

What a weird thread. We're all going to die. 'Dreading' is such a loaded word - I'm certainly not looking forward to anyone dying, but I don't think I'm dreading anyone famous who I've never met dying either. Morbid as fuck.

Bruce Springsteen.
The Queen.

I don't know any famous people so I guess I'll take it on the chin no matter who pops their clogs.

The Queen and David Attenborough

Her Maj
Attenborough and
David Jason - my heart will break

The Queen. I really fear for the future of our country after she goes.

Paul Simon. He is the soundtrack to my life.

I'm another one who will be sad when David Attenborough goes, but I'm also not looking forward to the inevitable ridiculous outpouring of 'grief' on social media when it happens. It will be unprecedented!

Especially the race to be the first to share the 'breaking news' article about it.

There will certainly be some changes to the monarchy when the Queen goes. It might be better but a big change to what you've always known can be daunting. I'm 65, governments and prime ministers have come and gone but the Queen has been a constant.

David Jason seems to have been a major influence on a lot of people's lives. I don't really get it but you feel what you feel.

The Queen because there will be loads of tedious faff for weeks because of it

Dick van Dyke because I love him.

The Queen because it will be so strange, she's always been there.

Michael palin
Glenda Jackson
Joni Mitchell
German Greer
Judi Dench
David Attenborough
Bob Dylan

Bob Marley is already dead

David Attenborough
the Queen
Duke of Edinburgh
Prince Charles for William's sake
Mary Berry

I know. It was Bob Mortimer. Did you not RTFT?

The Queen.

I'm no royalist, not by a long way but I fear if the queen dies there might be a further power grab by the Johnson/Cummings government.

The Queen
David Attenborough
Mary Berry

Well you can all stop worrying about David Attenborough because it’s simply not going to happen. Ever. Nope. [sticks fingers in ears and sings la la la la la la la la]

Obviously not before I posted . Didn't see there were more pages

This very notion first occurred to me after Ronnie Barker died. I remember thinking how sad it’ll be when Ronnie Corbett dies and Victoria Wood! Both gone now. 🥺

Of those still with us,

Kate Bush
Stevie Nicks
Stephen Fry
Hugh Laurie
Rowan Atkinson
Zoe Ball

Bruce Springsteen.

The thought of him retiring is enough to send me into despair, never mind him passing away!!

Oh blimey, also Johnny Ball!
