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..

David Attenborough
The Queen
Maggie Smith
Judi Dench

None.

I don't know any famous people so nobody.

Bob Holness from Blockbusters? He’s dead too I’m afraid 😶

The queen.

I'm not even British but she is such an icon I'll be sad when she isn't here anymore.

Dreading might be overstating it, but I'd certainly be sad when John LeCarre dies. Michael Palin too.

Santa Claus
The tooth fairy

David Jason and Julie Walters for me. Also hope Elton John sticks around for a little while longer as i have got tickets to see him in concert in November!!

The Queen because there's some sort of long compulsory mourning period isn't there (10 days) ? It will be mega tedious and we're way past the era of doffing our caps and respecting our betters. I know that sounds heartless but she's well into her 90s, she's had a good innings and there's no need for a national outpouring of grief - it should be a celebration of a life well lived.

I agree David Attenborough will be very sad but again he's had a really good life and should be celebrated.

Not famous but will probably make it into the Times obits - a friend of my mother's who is 97 and was at Bletchley Park.

I wouldn’t say I actively dread it but it will be sad when DeNiro and Pacino go.

The Queen.

I'm not a royalist (nor am I anti royal) but it will be strange when she is gone. Her face is on our money and stamps, our national anthem is about her, etc.

I don't dread anyone dying.

I recognise it will be a massive thing when the queen dies.

@Medicaltextbook
Paul Merton has been hosting Just A Min for a while now and although he doesn't Nick's wit he dose a good job .
It is regularly on BBC Sounds give it a go

does a good

More Pythons
Tom Waits
Billy Joel
Nick Cave
Jack Nicholson
Robert De Niro

This is hands down the weirdest thread I've ever seen, especially the person 'dreading' some random Bob dying.

I've had to deal with losing both parents in the last 8 years so famous people dying isn't something I dread. I'll feel a bit sad for a couple of days (Bowie was my worst) but then remember all the good stuff they did and be grateful for that.

Honestly it shouldn't make that much difference to your day to day life if you didn't know them, I do feel this outpouring of mourning for a stranger quite odd.

Another one for David Attenborough

The queen. I was born the year she came to the throne and it will be strange to have a different head of the royal family.
Keith Richard's.

David Attenborough and The Queen. It will feel like the world has shifted a bit on is axis when they go. Things won't ever by quite the same again.

@whatswithtodaytoday having seen Dave Grohl last year at Reading festival, he has more energy than a 20 year old. 🤘

David Attenborough and The Queen. It will feel like the world has shifted a bit on is axis when they go. Things won't ever by quite the same again.

This 👆

Another vote for Attenborough here.

I'm an old metalhead and some the bands I grew up with are starting to drop off now which is really sad. When Lemmy died I was gutted.

Elton John.
Also, perhaps weirdly, Prince Charles.

No one for me as I don't know any famous people personally and don't understand the mass upset of famous people dying beyond feeling desperately sad for their friends and family.
