Which celebrity’s death do you feel shocked at?

I would probably say Robin Williams. Which is probably an obvious one. George Micheal and Bowie also.

Shocked me the most Princess Diana.
shocked and saddened me George Michael. I still feel sad about him being gone and what more he could have gone on and achieved.

Michael Jackson. I cried and cried and cried. I was 24 and still absolutely love him now.

John Lennon. As it was the one and only time I have seen my Dad almost cry.

HelpMeGetThrough · 30/06/2025 17:37

Shocked would be Diana.

Sad, none to be honest, as I didn’t know them.

Seagullsandsausagerolls · 30/06/2025 17:37

Steven Gately
Brittany Murphy

LuckyNumberFive · 30/06/2025 17:37

I will never get over Steve Irwin

Caroline Flack, always makes me sad when I remember what happened to her.

It’s sad, but I think a lot of people forget she battered her partner. I wonder if everyone would have been just as sad if it was her partner battering her and he died. I feel sorry for her family but she should’ve gone to prison.

harpytohelp · 30/06/2025 17:37

Chester Bennington.
Still not over it.

Back in the day… River Phoenix.

RepoTheGeriatricOpera · 30/06/2025 17:38

I was most shocked by Steve Irwin and Liam Payne.

Most sad about George Micheal, David Bowie, Kenny Rogers and Prince.

You realise he was a kiddie-fiddler?

Peaches Geldof

Yeah that one was shocking

Mysa74 · 30/06/2025 17:38

Heath Ledger and Stephen Gately... And poor Anton Yelchin.

They do??? I never knew this, and that is disgusting.
I was genuinely shocked at Princess Diana's death.

I mean certain sickos still mourn Rolf Harris so it doesn’t surprise me
