What celebrity deaths are you devastated about

[miaherridge07]

Liam Payne for me I’ve loved one direction since I was 4 years old

Think I must be a cold bitch because no celebrity death has ever devastated me. Have been shocked by the manner of death, saddened that an amazing talent is no longer amongst us (Joan Plowright or Maggie Smith etc) but devastated?

No, that strength of feeling is reserved for real people in my life, such as my and DH’s BFF who died of a brain tumour at 52 after a harrowing three years of surgeries and cognitive decline.

The person I felt most affected by was Peaches Geldof, even though I knew next to nothing about her before she died. I think knowing she had a young child, who I think might’ve been with her, and would have struggled from her mum dying in similar circumstances. I really felt for that family.

Joey Dunlop, he was our families hero and we thought he'd live for ever, he was just so cool, a pint of beer, a fag, working on his own engines, the night before a race.

I was devasted.

I really miss Sean Lock.

Paul o'Grady was incredibly kind.

Never devastated as I didn’t know them but sad for many, especially if they died to young, and particularly comedians as they made people laugh.
recently Michael Moseley as he seemed such a nice man who really helped lots of people improve their lives.

I was most sad about the queen as she was such a constant source of stability and decency and i had met her a couple of times.

Sean Lock definitely - such a talent to die so young.

Michael Moseley too - the unfairness of it seemed extraordinary 😢

Steve Wright - felt like I grew up with him. We went to the same school.
Paul O' Grady - Such a kind spirit

I was sad to read about Paul Danan last week. I had a huge crush on him when I was younger and we are the same age. So sad as he could have had so many more years ahead of him.

Caroline Aherne and Victoria Wood — just two massively talented comedy writers and performers, who both sadly died too young from cancer.

For me it'll be George Michael
Never met him, but he seemed one of the good guys and so generous with his money and time
Beautiful voice.

I think devastated is too strong a word for me but I was saddened when David Bowie, Sean Lock and Michael Mosely died.

Kurt Cobain
Bowie
Prince

These were my two as well. So much original talent. Amy Whitehouse is another.

Caroline Flack’s death affected me more than I thought it would 💔

I never knew him but have a lot of friends who worked with him and every one of them was devastated and said he was the nicest man in comedy. FB was full of anecdotes of how he'd helped people on their way up. He sounded so lovely.

Amy Winehouse. I remember crying watching the news.

River Phoenix and Kurt Cobain but I was a teenager so think that had a lot to do with it.

More recently Dave Myers, he was one of the good guys. I’ve found myself upset at times which has surprised me, a reminder of how awful and unfair cancer is.

David Bowie

Chester Bennington such a shock

None.

I feel sympathy for their loved ones and I feel a little sad if someone died before their time (whether famous or not). But I don't know these people. It's not my personal loss.

Bowie
Paul O Grady
Sean Hughes
Terry Hall
I thought how Cilla Black died was awful although her actual death didn't effect me.
