I never feel cheerful about celebrities passing away, I did not know her, but she always striked me as a very sad girl, and her death is a bit of shock. She had so many opportunities, but did not seem to find her place. RIP Tara.

It's never unreasonable to be sad anyone has died.

WaitrosePigeon · 08/02/2017 15:49

She was so young.

It's strange, I really feel so sad to learn the news. I have never felt that for another celeb. It's never good news, but this is just upsetting. I am not sure why her death should have any effect on me. Weird.

Sorry, it shouldn't be about me. Her poor family must be devastated.

She was very troubled, I hope she found some kind of peace in recent years

The80sweregreat · 08/02/2017 15:54

I liked her ,she seemed very bubbly and candid about her drug habit in the past too. So young to die.

QueenMortificado · 08/02/2017 15:54

Isn't it a bit tasteless to put this as an AIBU? How could anyone tell you you're being unreasonable?

It's very sad. She was very young and vibrant. A real shame.

TheNaze73 · 08/02/2017 15:55

YANBU, 45 is no age.

Didn't know her but, sad to hear

KERALA1 · 08/02/2017 15:55

How sad. She seemed quite lost in later years.

derxa · 08/02/2017 15:57

Bambambini · 08/02/2017 15:57

Had no idea. She seemed quite a character - is a bit sad.

Lespritdelsietanner · 08/02/2017 15:57

I didnt know that she had died. That is very sad indeed. YANBU.

YouHadMeAtCake · 08/02/2017 15:58

I didn't know until I read your thread . Sad, she never seemed to be truly happy.

leccybill · 08/02/2017 15:59

From a malignant pituitary gland tumour I've read?
How sad. She was bananas but essentially not a bad 'un.

deadringer · 08/02/2017 15:59

Thats sad, 45 is so young. Rip

I've just said almost the same thing on the other TPT thread.

She struck me as sad and lonely, despite all of her partying etc.

stoopido · 08/02/2017 16:01

I didn't know she had, sad.

Sorry, didn't mean to be tasteless. It's not exactly a secret news. It felt like a sad shock, and I can't really discuss in real life. It's just so very sad.

I didn't know she had died! She was always so mucked up and unstable. And sad. Like inside. I don't know that much about why she was like that, but it always struck me as very sad. What a shame.

SirSidneyRuffDiamond · 08/02/2017 16:04

She was an amazing pianist 🙁

Californiasoul · 08/02/2017 16:07

It's a bit tasteless asking if you're being unreasonable to be sad at hearing someone has died. Hmm
