Celebrity deaths that shocked you

[OneCosyCrow]

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.

James Gandolfini was a big one for me
too.

David Bowie
Alan Rickman
Victoria Wood
George Michael
Amy Winehouse
Paula Yates and Peaches Geldof
Caroline Flack
Diana
Philip
Seymour Hoffman
Kaya Rivera

Christopher Reeve

Steve Irwin, Stephen Gately (I remember some of my stupid workmates texting each other jokes about it) and Michael Jackson. I knew he wouldn't do his shows but I didn't think he'd die-even after the headlines about him having a heart attack I thought it was fake or that they'd save him.

Others I wasn't shocked about (I don't really get shocked now I'm older anyway) like Matthew Perry I saw his name trending on twitter and my automatic assumption was "oh no he's died" after reading his biography.

Women can’t inflict much damage.

Some can inflict a fair amount of damage to a sleeping man with a lamp round the head.

Jill Dando, Helen Rollason, Roy Castle, Richard Whiteley, Victoria Wood.

Michael Hutchence. God he was beautiful.

Michael Mosley

Rik Mayall. So zany and full of life.

Elvis
Marc Bolan
John Lennon
Steve Harley
David Bowie
QE2
Princess Diana
Rik Mayall
Shane McGowan

George Michael.

Yes that was a shock and very sad

Yes! I was thinking about him only today.

Darius Campbell. I saw him several times in West End musicals, and met him once very briefly as he was getting his lunch next to The Savoy (where he was performing in Funny Girl with Sheridan Smith). A nicer, politer (and handsome) bloke you couldn't wish to meet.

Princess Diana, around my age, two young sons, looked like her life was about to open up to new stuff, new love. And the constant paps photos and vids of her final few weeks. I hate how people now call it hysteria, I felt personally touched by her death. I wasn't weeping the the street or rending clothes, I was really, really and truly, sad.

As many has said Kirsty McColl, Princess Diana and Steve Irwin were all "shockers" for me.

A more recent one, Avicii (Tim Bergling) was a bit of a shock when I heard, as a ds was really into him so his music was on a lot at the time and I didn't know the background story so it was unexpected.

Others like Amy Winehouse, Matthew Perry, Liam Payne their troubles were pretty well known by most people so not as unexpected, incredibly sad, but I didn't find shocking.

Definitely Victoria Wood, not many deaths have left my jaw hanging, far too early. She wrote some brilliant dialogue as anyone raised in the North West would tell you, especially in Dinner Ladies, sash windows still make me smile!

Princess Diana.
Sarah Harding, Shannon Doherty and Helen McCrory- breast cancer is the devil.

Yes the world seemed very bleak the day Diana died. So sad.

Freddie Mercury, there will never be as a great a showman .
Sean Locke .
Jo Cox. I know she wasn’t a celebrity as such but welled up when they updated at the press conference that she had died .
Michael Mosley .
Chester Bennington.

We were in the middle of a desert in Morocco on a tour when I got a message about Swayze's death from our daughter, I told the bus and some were almost in tears.

Amy Winehouse because I thought was going to make it.

And Princess Diana obviously.

Anyone who died too young from a disease, a murder or an accident, but not shocked, surprised or upset by deaths due to drug use.

The risks are clearly there for everyone to see.

Philip's death so near his 100th birthday I found very sad, seemed like he'd been cheated!

For me the first was Paula Yates, I could t get my head around someone with four kids taking drugs when they needed her, with the youngest one in the house and not considering the risks associated with that. Also Diana, that was a tragic accident, or was it? But how does someone with so much protection die that way?

Heath Ledger.

John Peel I still miss him not just the music but his home truths R4 programme which accompanied me on my long Saturday morning drives home.
