Have any famous people's deaths got to you a lot?

[Mrsblobby12]

Feel this way about the death of Andy Rourke of The Smiths. They are one of my favourite bands of all time and just listening to them now. He was such a talented musician, he's the same age as my father, and I feel sad knowing he had such a cruel disease.

Seamus Heaney - there was so much more he could say

Not one. Family and close friends, but otherwise I don't know them and however talented or famous, it's not my loss.

Rickman,

bowie...

Victoria Wood

Paul O'Grady....

Those four heaven bound people, endlessly creative, bright talents..

River Phoenix and George Michael.

Terry Pratchett and Terry Hall. Both brilliant at what they did. Not enough people called Terry in my opinion.

Kurt Cobain and River Phoenix. They just had so much talent and were so young. Also Amy Winehouse for pretty much the same reasons.

Corey Haim. I met him a few months before and it was clear he needed help. He was a very sweet lost soul and I’m still gutted.

Terry Wogan - I wouldn’t say got to me but he was very much always around in the background and bought up feelings of sadness of times and people passed

Prince

Jack Charlton end of an era.
Dolores O’Riardon.

Patrick Swayze - he was a hall pass for me. Still is in ghost I guess.

Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington

Prince
George Michael

Heath Ledger
Robin Williams
Alan Rickman

Just so sad xx

I completely agree. He was a genius.

Chester Bennington from Linkin Park.
The first album I ever bought was by them (hybrid theory) It’s still one of my favourite albums. Whenever I hear his powerful voice, I feel abit sad.
Naya Rivera. She accidentally drowned, they think she was struggling in the water so she swam back to the boat with her young son, she managed to boost him in the boat safely but she slipped under the water after that and drowned. Very sad.

Chadwick Boseman. He was just so young and had kept his illness private. He was on the edge of becoming one of the biggest stars on the planet. I don’t think he got the chance to give the performance of his life; I think he had so much more to do.

Keith Flint and Chester Bennington

Sue Townsend, Diana Wynne Jones and Ruth Rendell - women authors I really respected and enjoyed

Andy Rourke, Poly Styrene, Bowie, Dolores O'Riordan
Caroline Aherne, Rik Mayall, Sean Locke, Victoria Wood
Carrie Fisher
Recently Paul O'Grady.

Kirsty McColl

Robin Williams.

Recently, Paul O'Grady.

Naya Rivera. Just thinking about hers haunts me.

I find it hard to mourn anyone dying of drug addiction so pass on a lot of the above.

My Dad was a massive F1 fan, and I remember being so shocked at the death of Ayrton Senna though.

The Queen. I cried for hours and then got choked up talking about her for a while afterwards.

and Mel Smith

Same, both such incredible voices. Couldn't believe it
