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.

HM probably missed Boris a lot!

I was shocked by Taylor Hawkins. Completely out of the blue.

Shocking as being a surprise, I would have to say Mark Speight.

Terry Wogan
Buddy Holly
Victoria Wood
Royal yacht Britannia
Ken Dodd
Queen Elizabeth II
Eddie- my first love

Robin Williams

Carrie Fisher

Chewbacca 😭 (Peter Mayhew)

Matthew Perry

ETA:

Alan Rickman

Meatloaf

Rik Mayall

Chester Bennington

QEII but in a way not because she was obviously old.

Rik Mayall. Not sure why. I did used to watch Bottom endlessly 🫢.

Oh yes! We should have cancelled Christmas.

Dimebag Darryl from the band Pantera. It was a sad day for metal when he was shot on stage

I wasn't aware that they did. How awful.

I knew her at school.

Whitney😥

i agree

Freddy, Diana, George Michael, John Lennon Bob Marley

Amy Winehouse.

Think it was the manner in which I saw it as much as anything. The showbiz section on teletext, just saw Amy Winehouse dead. One of those "no way" moments.

The main one for me was GG Allin

I don’t know if he’s already been mentioned yet - but Michael Mosley - so tragic!!
I’m still a bit surprised at how sad I feel about it!😢

thats disappointing to hear, I was a huge VW fan. What did she do/say @MemorableTrenchcoat ?

James Gandolfini
Anthony Bourdain

Agree with Sean Lock, Avicci, but also Paul Ritter.

I am still shocked by George Michaels death and always end up in tears on Xmas day, tipsy, listening to Last Christmas.

Also Amy Winehouse

It's the way that some celebrities died that shocked and upset me.

Diana because it was so cruel to be hounded and chased to death.

Mark Speight because it was such a tragic story and I used to watch him on TV as a kid.

Steve Irwin because it was unexpected.

Not shocked, but saddened by the deaths of George Michael, Amy Winehouse and David Bowie.

Alan Rickman.

Jade Goody. For the simple fact we both shared the exact same birthday. When I read she was dying I got a chill down my spine.
I also remember feeling angry at the time she was dying and after she passed. The press and general public were fawning over her, yet both parties were very cruel and unforgiving towards her.

Gene Hackman, Betsy Arakawa and their dog, Zinna. Who knows what was really going on there? Just very tragic.

Totally agree about Victoria Wood - so sad that we would never see anything new from her.
