If you could bring a celebrity back from the dead

[emmie847]

Who would it be ?

Sadly for you he would be with me !!

Victoria Wood. I feel she still had so much to give us. I admired her hugely and feel her loss to this day.

I think there are too many "good people" to choose from.

Evil people like Savile and Hitler to pay for their crimes?

Marilyn Monroe

Bix Beiderbecke -- such a stupid premature death, and I think he'd really have enjoyed the musical possibilities that came after he'd died.

But actually I'd rather have a time machine to go to 1931 and haul him out of the mess he was in and get him to a hospital in say 1994 for the treatment he needed, then put him back without the pneumonia and with enough booze delivered every week for him to be able to give the wood-alcohol a miss.

Robert Holdstock, just because he was a great bloke and e.Coli is such a dire way to die too young.

There are quite a few I'd like to bring back but only if they wouldn't hurt if I did: Rosemary Sutcliff, for instance. And Diana Wynne Jones with the same proviso -- and then just to be there while those two talked together, because I think it would be an absolutely wonderful conversation.

freddie Mercury and Marc bolan

Terry Pratchett, first and foremost.
Also…
Douglas Adams
Iain Banks
Victoria Wood
Linda Smith
Emma Chambers
Joe Cocker
Janis Joplin
Rick Wright
Jimi Hendrix
Alan Rickman
Carl Sagan
Angela Carter
Jake Thackray

Actually if we're doing evil people, Epstein. So we can find out what that fucker knew.

Freddie. Of course. He deserves to see how loved he still is, and to see how much gay acceptance has moved forward - gay marriage, gay romance on mainstream TV. Gay couples allowed to adopt children. I wish he could watch all the lovely out gay people in modern TV shows. I'm always seeing them and thinking, 'ah, wish Freddie could see this'.

It would have to be Freddie and his partner Jim, though. He was a troubled, very vulnerable guy and coming back to life now (to find his parents and 'husband' were all dead) would be rough for him.

Freddie Mercury ❤️

o god yes -- and who killed him.

Also George Michael

John Lennon for me. He should still be here.

Alan Rick an

Ffs rickman

David Bowie and Leonard Cohen 🎶🎶🎶🎶

I was going to say Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking. Who knows what they could achieve if they worked together.

Keith Flint

😢

Sean Lock

Yes him too.

Somewhere between:
Alan Turing
Carrie Fisher
Freddie Mercury
Amy Winehouse, so long as she didn't suffer

My first thought was Taylor Hawkins. Maybe Freddie Mercury or Kurt Cobain.

Hear! Hear!

Also agree re Amy Whitehouse but mentally stronger, healthier and with a positive future ahead of her. What a waste of a life.

Also Duke of Edinburgh. The Queen must miss her "strength and stay" so much. 🌹

Would you really bring back someone who lived to be 99, @Newestname002 ? I know it's all hypothetical, but that one took me aback!

Michael Hutchence and Rik Mayall
