What celebrity deaths are you devastated about

[miaherridge07]

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

George Michael. I still have moments of sadness about his death.

A lot of deaths I have been shocked by, but the only one that really left me sad was George.

Tina Turner. I did cry when I heard she'd died. Gorgeous woman.

I had forgotten about Princess Diana, the JFK moment for my generation Grim times.

John Ritter . I loved him in 8 Simple rules . He was the dad I always wanted

I wouldn't go as far as devastated, but Stephen Gately got under my skin. I wasn't even a fan, but it wasn't long after I'd lost my own best friend and I really felt for the other band members taking on the public facing mourning so as to leave his family in peace.

Similarly, Naya Rivera from Glee - again, not a fan but the way she died was so tragic, saving her son.

I've been sad to hear that people like Maggie Smith have died, but devastated is definitely too big a word for a stranger who's lived to a good age.

ETA - not a death, but I'm a huge Michael Schumacher fan and I do find the aftermath of his skiing accident and the devastation for him and his family very upsetting.

Yes there is, it's the bit where you read a thread title and decide whether or not to be involved in it.

Stephen Gateley really upset me. So did Paul O’Grady.

Paula Yates
Peaches Geldof
Caroline Aherne
Linda Smith
Dave Myers

All far too young.

Cal Wilson 💔

Bowie, Prince and George Michael

Keith Flint - love The Prodigy
Dale Winton - he just seemed such a lovely man

Yep definitely agree

I had a random attack of Sad about Alan Rickman last night, so watched Sense and Sensibility. He was wonderful.

Ayrton Senna
Sean Hughes
Chris Sievey
Caroline Aherne
Sean Lock
Gene Clark - died a few months before I was going to see him live, tragic story and The Byrd Who Flew Alone tells his tale
Now feeling a tremendous emptiness about David Lynch 💔

Freddy Mercury - I’m still upset 30+ years on! Just seemed like it was so wrong for someone so unique, energetic and creative to die.

Victoria Wood, George Michael and Caroline aherne - people who had so much to give us and I wish were still here doing their thing. That’s true of Amy Winehouse and Bill Hicks too though I felt less personally affected.

River Phoenix and Heath Ledger for me.

Although it was a good 10+ years after the death of River Phoenix when I discovered him and what happened (I was 3 when he died).

George Michael

Micheal Jackson
Cameron Boyce was a very sad one

None. I don't know any celebrities who have passed away. I think grieving for someone you've never had any interaction with is odd. Be a bit sad about it but not devastated.

Devastated? None. I find it a bit strange when people react so strongly to the deaths of people they have never met. I did find Terry Pratchett's illness and death very sad though.

Me too on John Smith - things could have been so different
Amy
George
Freddie
Caroline Flack
Michael Mosley

Queen Elizabeth, David Bowie and Alan Rickman.

I was too young to remember Freddie Mercury's death but I would have been by his.

Queen Elizabeth, David Bowie and Alan Rickman.

I was too young to remember Freddie Mercury's death but I would have been by his.

I wasn’t devastated because I didn’t know her, but I did feel really sad when Christine McVie died.

oh and Robert Palmer.

Oh my goodness how could I have forgotten the Queen 🙁
