Freddie !

Alan Rickman.
Amy and Kurt if you could bring them back so they are in a good place. Their deaths were just so tragic.

Another request for Henry VIII please, OP.

Another vote for Amy Winehouse. And then I'd shake her and tell her to say yes, yes, yes to rehab.

Prince

My first thought was Freddie Mercury but I am going to say Taylor Hawkins. For his amazing talent and for his young family but also for Dave Grohl; absolutely gutting that he is going through this for a second time 😢

I think Henry had a pretty good run the first time round, tbh.

Show quote history

Sure, but I wasn't there to talk to him the first time round was I?

Jane Austen. Get her writing Doctor Who scripts.

Or Shakespeare of course. But probs Janey.

clary · 15/06/2022 14:00

yy Amy Winehouse but only if she was going to be healthy. same for Kurt Cobain.

SleepyMc · 15/06/2022 14:00

Mozart, George Michael, Freddie Mercury.

FlatBottomedGirl · 15/06/2022 14:01

Also Amy Winehouse. Can't think of a more tragic waste. I wish she had been more looked after by those around her.

Freddy Mercury because he is pure joy.

A multitude of decent Scottish politicians that died too young leaving us with dopes in charge. Donald Dewar, John Smith and Charles Kennedy.

Jane Austen, if she counts as a celebrity. I would love to hear her describe her life and times, and get her take on the modern world. Would also love Freddie Mercury to return, he was so amazing and died so young.

TottersBlankly · 15/06/2022 14:06

Prince.

And Helen McCrory - it’s impossible to realise we’ll never see her in any new performance.

I miss Amy Winehouse’s creative genius so much - but I doubt the outcome would be any different at any time.

Jeremy Hardy and Sean Locke

Paula Yates

You've reminded me of Peaches Geldof; so tragic how the cycle continued.

I'd be torn between Terry Pratchett, Alan Rickman and Robin Williams.

TottersBlankly · 15/06/2022 14:08

And - oh gosh, that beautiful man from The Wire. Michael K. Williams. His loss is immense.

Heath Ledger and River Phoenix
