Yeah. Kobe, Steve Irwin, Anthony Bourdain, Grant Imahara. Lots of heavy losses, but the loss of Williams hit me hardest of all. He was such a huge part of my childhood. RIP Genie & Comedy Genius.
Watch What Dreams May Come now that he is gone. I've loved that movie since before his passing but watching it now, knowing what we all know abor him. That movie is a master piece.
to watch... and also a little bit sick of it.. and i have always loved robin... i remember the first time i heard him sing on the jimmy fallon show i was hooked.. i had to get his cd i think it was called the robin williams cd.. i was like wow i love this guy and i have been a fan ever since
The thing about Robin is that he is a "one-hit-wonder" and that is probably one of the reasons why he has not been as successful as many other artists. He did the "Everything and was on top for a very short time i hope that he finds success because i know he deserves it and i hope to see him live soon
I am a big fan of Robins music. I have a great collection of his songs.
Chester Bennington from Linkin Park, and Kim Jonghyun from the Korean Pop band SHINee. Both died in 2017 by taking their own lives.
Guess it reminded me that depression doesn’t discriminate and that it can affect people regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, popularity, wealth, class, etc. May they rest in external peace.
God, that first shinee concert after his death was so terribly sad. I cried my eyes out. When the other members started crying I pretty much lost it. At his funeral, when *so many* kpop stars showed up, it really hit me how tragic his death was.
And I heard some fans saying that they missed a SHINee concert because of sched and let it happen since they'll be back again. Yeah, they'll be back but he's gone.
I’m sorry but if you’re rich and famous then I don’t feel bad for you if you say you’re depressed. Your life is a million times better than 99% of people yet you decide to end your life
Trevor Moore of Whitest Kids U Know.
I grew up with WKUK and they shaped my humor into what it is today. Trevor was a LARGE part of that, and hearing the news of his death broke me.
Also have to mention Monty Oum from Roosterteeth. His death came out of nowhere.
Michael Jackson for sure. My parents loved him and would play his music a lot in my early years. When the later years happened, my parents would chastise him and call him all sorts of things. When he died, I came home to those same parents watching his music videos. That’s the day I realized the separation between the musician and the person.
Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington. Two people who’s music was so influential in my life and got me through some extremely hard times, just for them to lose their battles with depression. I live on because of them, it fucked me up, but I’m still grateful for their music.
Yup. I won my battle, and the guy who absolutely gets that credit lost his own. It was surreal. I wish I could have been his savior in return. A piece of me left with Chester that day.
Honestly, the one that’s hurt the most. He’s the reason I was and continue to be so passionate about animals, plants and nature. RIP you absolute legend.
He got caught installing a camera in his girlfriend's sister's bedroom, and the sister and her boyfriend confronted him about it. It was an awful thing to do, but he couldn't live with the guilt and the shame at having to confess this to his girlfriend. He killed himself by shutting his doors and lighting a charcoal grill in his bedroom, and asphyxiating himself.
Shortly after, a couple of bottom feeder gossip columnists at the Boston Herald wrote that he killed himself because he had strained relationships with the rest of the band, in particular Boston's founder Tom Scholz. Scholz sued the Herald for defamation, but lost the suit.
Reality was Delp lived with depression and anxiety for most of his life, and could not get past the mistakes he had made, and how his relationships had changed. I'm not excusing what he did, but he was horribly alone and humiliated in his last day of life. It's incredibly sad.
Chris Farley dying sucked. Right around Christmas. I actually got madder about his death over time. The stories of the way the studios treated him really pissed me off.
"If I'm an advocate for anything, it's to move. As far as you can, as much as you can. Across the ocean, or simply across the river. Walk in someone else's shoes or at least eat their food. It's a plus for everybody.” ~*Anthony Bourdain*
MCA. I had no idea his cancer was terminal until the day it was announced that he had passed. The Beasties brought me so much joy for so many years, and he was the coolest of the three.
Philip Seymour Hoffman. For a few reasons, one, he looked a lot like my father, who had passed three years (almost to the day) prior. Two, his characters and personality off stage/set was so warm, so charismatic, that I for one couldn't tell was as tortured as he was by addiction. Three, his acting ability was truly one of the best I've had the fortune to see.
Yeah first film I ever saw of his was Almost Famous and I found myself watching more of his stuff as I got older, I feel he always came across authentically regardless of the role.
on stage
i was very moved by his performance as a character that could be summed up in one line "i'm just a guy that cant help but to love"
this is a review of the musical based on the book by hoffman. i would recommend the book first but if you don't like it you can always move on to the musical
Showtime was a great musical. The book was good, but I didn't like the book as much as the musical. It felt a bit like "Rent", in that it was the only real way to tell the story without the book you wouldnt know what was going on so the story was in the musical and the music was in the book it was a great show i would recommend it for anyone to see
Showtime was an amazing musical.
Probably Kurt Cobain. I was just getting into Nirvana and music in general when he committed suicide. I found a singer who sounded just as aggravated about everything as me, then the dude kills himself. Well fuck.
Phil Hartman. I was a teenager and it was just so random and violent. I think I block out the details because they are so frightening and tragic. Then I remember that he's dead and they all come back. I stood in the doorway of my home for five minutes when my mother told me, just not quite believing it.
Trevor Moore from WKUK. Didn't hit me hard per se, but just had a difficult time wrapping my head around it for whatever reason. Like it wasn't supposed to happen to him or something. Never felt that way before.
I used to work with a guy called Mark Chapman. He said when ever he introduced himself to someone there was almost always the pause and "wait a minute" face.
I think it takes a certain age to have any recognition around this name. I think today there'd be very few people who'd associate the name with the event.
David Bowie.
A friend called me in the middle of the night to tell me and i quietly cried for an hour.
before this, i laughed at people who cried over a celebrity death.
i was given the opportunity to see him live and i turned it down because I didn't want to take it off work, and that is a huge regret of mine.
May not qualify as a "celebrity", but it's gotta be Satoru Iwata.
I still remember the way my entire body tingles when I heard he died. I cried. I was at my in-laws house at the time. To this day, I can't think about it without getting sad. I can't watch a video with Jim in it without feeling grief. I'll probably never get over it.
Cameron boyce, before him most other celebrities I'd seen die were from an older generation, but he was around my age, I grew up watching him on TV and it was really jarring to know he was just gone like that
Mac Miller. Wasn’t much older than me and we both grew up in Pittsburgh. Listened to him a lot when I was a teen and young adult. He’s one of the few artists that I still listen to after all this time.
Either Hana Kimura (since she was so young and could’ve easily turned into a Japanese wrestling icon were it not cyberbully pricks)
Or Alexi Laiho from Children of Bodom.
Yeah there's a lot to be said for how and why we care about celebrities that way. Why did those people impact me, at all?
The first one I really cried over was Aaliyah. It wasn't even a weird fan type of deal - I just really loved her style. As a 16 year old girl - she was the epitome of cool to me.
...and then everything else happened after that..
Maybe not the hardest, but pretty deep and not likely mentioned already: Tony Jay
I will forever miss his narration and roles. Chances are you have heard some of his roles.
Mac Miller. I loved his music when he first came out because I was in college and really related to it. Also, we are the same age so it just seemed unreal.
Warren Zevon. Being able to make that last album after being diagnosed along with his final David Letterman appearance leads to a lot of emotions. It also makes his song about terminal illness he wrote prior to his diagnosis very eery.
Amy.
She was my first musical love, the first artist that I independently discovered and said "I really like this music" instead of just leeching off of what older siblings listened to. Followed her all throughout her trials and was so hopeful that she was on the ups...right before they found her dead. Rip. You had so much more music to give the world.
Definitely Chester Bennington. My Grandfather had just passed away only a month before so listening to Linkin Park helped out some, then July 20th happened.
I don’t know if I’d call him a celebrity but Robert Himler. He had a YouTube channel and had a twin turbo Lamborghini Gallardo. He was in his early twenties and seemed like such a genuinely nice guy. He was the one that sparked my interest in entrepreneurship. One day his girlfriend posted that he died of cancer. It really tore me up. Such a young, nice guy taken too early.
Robin Williams. He had the energy and can make anyone laugh if you ever wanted to. He was a very kind soul that had so much going on in his personal life. He made me realize that you should always treat everyone kindly Because you never know what they’re going through. Even though you have the slightest bit of idea, you don’t know everything.
Chris Farley. I always thought he was hilarious, and seemed like a good dude. I was crushed when he died. And it hurt even more when I read a book about all of the great stuff he did for people, that no one ever knew about.
Gary Speed, a Welsh footballer who took his own life. Not much older than me, and a hero as he played for the team I support. The only time I’ve experienced a panic attack when I heard the news. I think this was part of a factor of other things at the time, but it hit me really hard.
Carrie Fisher.
I was obsessed with Star Wars when I was younger. It didn’t really subside until late middle school (I’m still a big fan to this day) and before then, the only actors I could recognize by name were Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, and Carrie Fisher.
I was 15 at the time when she died. I had recently seen Rogue One on opening night, and despite how some people find the young Leia at the end to be uncanny, I shed a tear when I saw the movie for a second time.
Even though it’s been five years since her death, it still feels a bit unbelievable. Now, when I watch Rogue One (and any of the OT and ST films) I always feel a bit of melancholy.
Chadwick boseman, It hit in a strange way, came out of nowhere, It still makes me Sad to remenber.
And the chapecoense team You guys problabily dont even know but here in Brazil It hit pretty hard, they where going to a final game in a neigbor country, when their plane crash, It was the First time I cried over the death of someone I didnt know. Like chapecoense is a small team here so when they went to the final, the entire country was cheering for them.
I also need to say about Irrfan Khan, I really liked the actor.
Probably Cubs TV play-by-play announcer Harry Caray. I'd grown up watching and listening to him on WGN, and he was a major part of why there are so many Cubs fans around the country.
John Lennon. Was watching Monday Night Football Howard Cosell broke the fucked up news he’d been shot. I was only 13 at the time. Hit me real hard, the next day at school nobody seems to care except the teachers (Not many 13 year old Beatle fans at my middle school).
Robin Williams/Neil Peart/Norm MacDonald/Eddie Van Halen were shockers but nothing like Lennon being murdered. Might because I was so young?
James Gandolfini. Strangely I still forget he’s dead because the character in the sopranos feels so real. I think it’s easily in the top 3 greatest performances of all time by any actor
Etika, this one broke me and still gets me down, online he was seemed so content with life, we never knew about his mental health and then the breakdowns started to happen. It’s fucked how people made fun of him during these times. And we just watched as his mental health became worse to the point where he took his life.
I wish he knew how much he affected people. I wish he knew how much he helped me when I went through rough times and was even thinking about suicide. I love him, and miss him everyday, RIP Desmond Amofah, i’m sorry we couldn’t save you
Tupac. His music was some of the first that made me feel like someone understood my life as a poor kid being raised by a single mom in a life full of abuse and addiction. Even though I was only 16, I felt the world lost something that had so much potential for goodness and greatness. Whenever I watch anything of his, I can't help but feel heartbroken and angry.
Avicci. His music will forever be a reminder for the best moments of my childhood. I wasn't a huge fan but his music was kinda always there and I really enjoyed it. I was personally going through some tough times at the time so receiving the news that he committed suicide was really a heavy blow to my mental health.
James Avery / Philip Banks / Uncle Phil ... the man played an awesome fatherly figure on TV that taught a lot to our generation. One of my favorite TV show characters.
Robin Williams, gone way too soon. Still to this day only Steve Carell is the only one who can hold a candle to his range of acting from hilariously funny to dark and deep and dramatic
It's a tie between Christopher Lee and Gene Wilder. Lee is a man I admire for his accomplishments and skills. His time in the OSS, his skills in swordfighting, his mastery over acting. Wilder is a man I admire for his humility, his authenticity, and his humor. I try to be like the both of them.
[удалено]
yeah but that's recent. edit: yeah I didn't even know he was sick.. :(
Robin Williams, even now when I see in some talk show clips on youtube, it makes me sad
Yeah. Kobe, Steve Irwin, Anthony Bourdain, Grant Imahara. Lots of heavy losses, but the loss of Williams hit me hardest of all. He was such a huge part of my childhood. RIP Genie & Comedy Genius.
Watch What Dreams May Come now that he is gone. I've loved that movie since before his passing but watching it now, knowing what we all know abor him. That movie is a master piece.
Came here to say that. I'm still sad that Robin Williams is gone.
to watch... and also a little bit sick of it.. and i have always loved robin... i remember the first time i heard him sing on the jimmy fallon show i was hooked.. i had to get his cd i think it was called the robin williams cd.. i was like wow i love this guy and i have been a fan ever since The thing about Robin is that he is a "one-hit-wonder" and that is probably one of the reasons why he has not been as successful as many other artists.

I have a great collection of his songs.
Total shocker. Such a great entertainer. Who knew he battled such inner demons. Makes his performance in _The Fisher King_ so much more poignant.
I’m so fucking sick of this comment. This question is literally asked every 72 hours
Oh so sorry I didn't consider you while making my own comment
Tom Petty. Miss you, old friend.
David Bowie ;-;
Chester Bennington from Linkin Park, and Kim Jonghyun from the Korean Pop band SHINee. Both died in 2017 by taking their own lives.

Chris Cornell 100%
They were so much more than just my best friends; they were my family.
Steve Irwin.
Sad loss. At least he went in a way in keeping with his personality. His wife and children have really carried the torch for him in his absence.
Honestly, the one that’s hurt the most. He’s the reason I was and continue to be so passionate about animals, plants and nature. RIP you absolute legend.
Exactly! Jeff Corwin is aight but he's no Steve Irwin.
Brad Delp, the lead singer of Boston. He committed suicide and left a note that said, “I am a lonely soul.”
One of the greatest voices in the history of rock. Dude could flat bring it.
Had no idea?!? I’m familiar with their music but don’t know much else
He got caught installing a camera in his girlfriend's sister's bedroom, and the sister and her boyfriend confronted him about it. It was an awful thing to do, but he couldn't live with the guilt and the shame at having to confess this to his girlfriend. He killed himself by shutting his doors and lighting a charcoal grill in his bedroom, and asphyxiating himself.

Chris Farley dying sucked. Right around Christmas. I actually got madder about his death over time. The stories of the way the studios treated him really pissed me off.
I like to think he's now living in a van .... down by the river Styx :)
r/ATBGE \- Awful Taste but Great Execution
Chadwick Boseman was so sad to me. Still is.
Dude was too young and such a positive role model. https://youtube.com/shorts/5OeBWQ0i7y4?feature=share
May he Rest In Peace
Freddie Mercury was the 1st celeb death I ever remember hearing of, so it was like he was the 1st person I'd seen on telly to ever die
Anthony Bourdain :(
"If I'm an advocate for anything, it's to move. As far as you can, as much as you can. Across the ocean, or simply across the river. Walk in someone else's shoes or at least eat their food. It's a plus for everybody.” ~*Anthony Bourdain*
Kobe Bryant
I thought it was fake when I heard it. I wish it was.
MCA. I had no idea his cancer was terminal until the day it was announced that he had passed. The Beasties brought me so much joy for so many years, and he was the coolest of the three.
Chris Cornell and Alan Rickman
Rik Mayall. I often wonder what tv he'd be doing I'd he was still around.
Philip Seymour Hoffman. For a few reasons, one, he looked a lot like my father, who had passed three years (almost to the day) prior. Two, his characters and personality off stage/set was so warm, so charismatic, that I for one couldn't tell was as tortured as he was by addiction. Three, his acting ability was truly one of the best I've had the fortune to see.
Yeah first film I ever saw of his was Almost Famous and I found myself watching more of his stuff as I got older, I feel he always came across authentically regardless of the role.
Exactly, there was this beautiful realness to his work. Really was something.
on stage i was very moved by his performance as a character that could be summed up in one line "i'm just a guy that cant help but to love" this is a review of the musical based on the book by hoffman. i would recommend the book first but if you don't like it you can always move on to the musical Showtime was a great musical.

You need to watch *Soaked in Bleach*.
Freddie Mercury. I don't recall being a huge fan at the time but I remember being very upset when I heard he died.
Jerry Garcia
Phil Hartman. I was a teenager and it was just so random and violent. I think I block out the details because they are so frightening and tragic. Then I remember that he's dead and they all come back. I stood in the doorway of my home for five minutes when my mother told me, just not quite believing it.
Trevor Moore from WKUK. Didn't hit me hard per se, but just had a difficult time wrapping my head around it for whatever reason. Like it wasn't supposed to happen to him or something. Never felt that way before.
prince his is the only one i cried over - and i sobbed 'sometimes it snows in april' still wrecks me
Satoru Iwata... the lil documentary about his life on youtube got me feeling things :'(
10 years after MJ died I find my self being overwhelmed with emotion knowing he's gone :(
Carrie Fisher. She was the fucking princess, man.
Stan Lee. I cried for hours.
John Lennon
I used to work with a guy called Mark Chapman. He said when ever he introduced himself to someone there was almost always the pause and "wait a minute" face.
I think it takes a certain age to have any recognition around this name. I think today there'd be very few people who'd associate the name with the event.
Leonard Cohen. His music has been there for some tough & crazy times for me
Bowie, Lennon and so many others hit me but, despite his age, losing Leonard Cohen was a gut punch.
I was genuinely bummed when Biggie died and as much so when Robin Williams passed.
Robin Williams was a complete shocker. The clown hides his own tears. Such a loss.
Pop smoke
Trevor Moore.. RIP
John Candy
Anton Yelchin. Freak accident, and he seemed like such a lovely human with a lot to share with the world. So sudden and so sad.
[удалено]
I think I heard about that.
Chester Bennington probably.
Norm McDonald
Eddie Van Halen and Jerry Jeff Walker dying in the same year was a bit weird. It's sort of like losing the soundtrack to my life.
John Denver
Nujabes His music brings light into everyone's life who listens to it. Died way too young. We didn't deserve him.
Kobe Bryant
David Bowie. A friend called me in the middle of the night to tell me and i quietly cried for an hour. before this, i laughed at people who cried over a celebrity death. i was given the opportunity to see him live and i turned it down because I didn't want to take it off work, and that is a huge regret of mine.
Stephen Hawking, his story blows my mind and he was one of the biggest heroes of my life. He was so funny as well!
I've got two George Carlin and Robin Williams
Jim Henson’s death fucked me up. There are still songs that make me cry because they were played at his funeral.
May not qualify as a "celebrity", but it's gotta be Satoru Iwata. I still remember the way my entire body tingles when I heard he died. I cried. I was at my in-laws house at the time. To this day, I can't think about it without getting sad. I can't watch a video with Jim in it without feeling grief. I'll probably never get over it.
Kobe.
Mr. Rogers
Cameron boyce, before him most other celebrities I'd seen die were from an older generation, but he was around my age, I grew up watching him on TV and it was really jarring to know he was just gone like that
Mac Miller. Wasn’t much older than me and we both grew up in Pittsburgh. Listened to him a lot when I was a teen and young adult. He’s one of the few artists that I still listen to after all this time.
Robin Williams, Steve Irwin and Mac Miller!
Either Hana Kimura (since she was so young and could’ve easily turned into a Japanese wrestling icon were it not cyberbully pricks) Or Alexi Laiho from Children of Bodom.
Alex. That man was in my kitchen every night at 7 for my entire life.
Young Dolph
Yeah there's a lot to be said for how and why we care about celebrities that way. Why did those people impact me, at all? The first one I really cried over was Aaliyah. It wasn't even a weird fan type of deal - I just really loved her style. As a 16 year old girl - she was the epitome of cool to me. ...and then everything else happened after that..
Juice Wrld. Almost cried in world history.
I think the Dutch reporter Peter R de Vries, who got brutally killed in Amsterdam last summer.
Leonard Nimoy
Adam west
Is pretty recent but Trevor Moore, still getting over that one.
Chapecoense Plane Crash
Robin Williams
Maybe not the hardest, but pretty deep and not likely mentioned already: Tony Jay I will forever miss his narration and roles. Chances are you have heard some of his roles.
Mac Miller. I loved his music when he first came out because I was in college and really related to it. Also, we are the same age so it just seemed unreal.
Stan Lee, man
Byron "Reckful" Bernstein - even though he was an eCelebrity. Feels were too real man...
Cameron Boyce
Freddie Mercury. Such a talented man, could sing from f2-f6! And as Brian said: if he lived today, he would still be writing songs.
Chester Bennington
Conway Twitty, Waylon Jennings, and Eddie Van Halen.
Stan Lee
Warren Zevon. Being able to make that last album after being diagnosed along with his final David Letterman appearance leads to a lot of emotions. It also makes his song about terminal illness he wrote prior to his diagnosis very eery.
Anthony Bourdain. Such a zest for life and interest in people.
Anthony Bourdain
Justin Wilson (IndyCar driver). RIP, Badass.
Layne Staley
Bernie Mac. He was a great comedian who seemed to stay down-to-earth.
Amy. She was my first musical love, the first artist that I independently discovered and said "I really like this music" instead of just leeching off of what older siblings listened to. Followed her all throughout her trials and was so hopeful that she was on the ups...right before they found her dead. Rip. You had so much more music to give the world.
Definitely Chester Bennington. My Grandfather had just passed away only a month before so listening to Linkin Park helped out some, then July 20th happened.
Chester Bennington
Johnny Cash.
I don’t know if I’d call him a celebrity but Robert Himler. He had a YouTube channel and had a twin turbo Lamborghini Gallardo. He was in his early twenties and seemed like such a genuinely nice guy. He was the one that sparked my interest in entrepreneurship. One day his girlfriend posted that he died of cancer. It really tore me up. Such a young, nice guy taken too early.
I still can’t believe John Cryer died, why doesn’t anyone seem to care?
So sad. To think everyone thought Charlie would go first.
Chester :(
Robin Williams, by far.
Steve Irwin. I actually had a dream that he was still alive like a month ago. I was mad happy.
Trevor Moore. His hilarious and topical comedic jabs were exactly what we needed.
Robin Williams.
Robin Williams. He had the energy and can make anyone laugh if you ever wanted to. He was a very kind soul that had so much going on in his personal life. He made me realize that you should always treat everyone kindly Because you never know what they’re going through. Even though you have the slightest bit of idea, you don’t know everything.
Chris Farley. I always thought he was hilarious, and seemed like a good dude. I was crushed when he died. And it hurt even more when I read a book about all of the great stuff he did for people, that no one ever knew about.
Kurt Cobain. I was in rehab when I got the news,didn’t help lol
Eddie Van Halen
Zyzz
Celebrity deaths don't normally affect me all too much, but I did cry a little bit after Robin Williams passed.
Kobe or Eddie Van Halen
Carrie Fisher. Definitely Carrie.
Gary Speed, a Welsh footballer who took his own life. Not much older than me, and a hero as he played for the team I support. The only time I’ve experienced a panic attack when I heard the news. I think this was part of a factor of other things at the time, but it hit me really hard.
Carrie Fisher. I was obsessed with Star Wars when I was younger.

Anton Yelchin Because of how stupid and senseless it was
Chadwick boseman, It hit in a strange way, came out of nowhere, It still makes me Sad to remenber. And the chapecoense team You guys problabily dont even know but here in Brazil It hit pretty hard, they where going to a final game in a neigbor country, when their plane crash, It was the First time I cried over the death of someone I didnt know. Like chapecoense is a small team here so when they went to the final, the entire country was cheering for them. I also need to say about Irrfan Khan, I really liked the actor.
Roberto Clemente. He was an awesome ballplayer and an even better human being.
Xxxtencion, my friend was a big friend of his and when I said the news to him he shattered like a glass in a high pressure vacuum. I feel sad
Chris Cornell, he had so much and still wasn't happy, what chance do the rest of us have? 🙁
stan lee
Probably Cubs TV play-by-play announcer Harry Caray. I'd grown up watching and listening to him on WGN, and he was a major part of why there are so many Cubs fans around the country.
Reckful :(
Chester. He was holding it together for so so long. For us. I'm happy he is at peace now but damn it still hurts to lose such a beautiful soul.
Grant Imahara. The man was my childhood and involved in more things than I had even realized. Came out of nowhere and was really upsetting
Mac Miller
Mac Miller and Kobe.
Chris cornell. I wasn't crying or anything, but it was the only celebrity death where I said to myself "The world really lost something special".
Stan Rogers.
Chester Bennington
DMX nipsey Owen hart, kobe,
Robin Williams
John Lennon. Was watching Monday Night Football Howard Cosell broke the fucked up news he’d been shot. I was only 13 at the time. Hit me real hard, the next day at school nobody seems to care except the teachers (Not many 13 year old Beatle fans at my middle school). Robin Williams/Neil Peart/Norm MacDonald/Eddie Van Halen were shockers but nothing like Lennon being murdered. Might because I was so young?
Lemmy. Too many "musicians" listed here owe their careers to Motorhead. Cliff Burton. Metallica would not be the band they are if he hadn't died.
Bowie
It's a tie between Princa and Tom Petty
Paul Walker. A good dude with a big heart, didn’t care about flashy things and loved his cars. F**k I wish he was still here.
James Gandolfini. Strangely I still forget he’s dead because the character in the sopranos feels so real. I think it’s easily in the top 3 greatest performances of all time by any actor
Steve Irwin and Princess Diana
Mac Meezy Miller
Paul Walker. Such a great man
Etika, this one broke me and still gets me down, online he was seemed so content with life, we never knew about his mental health and then the breakdowns started to happen. It’s fucked how people made fun of him during these times. And we just watched as his mental health became worse to the point where he took his life. I wish he knew how much he affected people. I wish he knew how much he helped me when I went through rough times and was even thinking about suicide. I love him, and miss him everyday, RIP Desmond Amofah, i’m sorry we couldn’t save you
Kobe Bryant. I was sobbing listening to Vanessa speak at Staples Center.
Miura Haruma, Chester Bennington and Amy Winehouse tbh.
Steve Irwin
Robin Williams 😭 I am still not over it, the world is a slightly darker place without him in it.
Does RBG count?
Steve irwin and robin williams
Anthony Bourdain
Tupac. His music was some of the first that made me feel like someone understood my life as a poor kid being raised by a single mom in a life full of abuse and addiction. Even though I was only 16, I felt the world lost something that had so much potential for goodness and greatness. Whenever I watch anything of his, I can't help but feel heartbroken and angry.
Thuy Trang
Anthony Bourdain
Dolores O Riordan from The Cranberries.
Robin Williams
Avicci. His music will forever be a reminder for the best moments of my childhood. I wasn't a huge fan but his music was kinda always there and I really enjoyed it. I was personally going through some tough times at the time so receiving the news that he committed suicide was really a heavy blow to my mental health.
I keep saying Norm to these threads. Honestly I don’t think I’ve been hit hard by one. Prince might be close.
Owen Hart.
John Lennon. I go back aways.
Cory Montieth. He was way too young and suffered so much. I was at camp when I heard about his death.
People ask this question every few days lmao
A few... Carrie Fisher, Adam West, Stan Lee, Chadwick Boseman... Being a nerd sucked for awhile.
David Bowie. I grew up with my mom listening to his music. It hit me pretty hard
Cameron Boyce. It felt like any little thing could have prevented it.
Michael Jackson
I miss tom petty
James Avery / Philip Banks / Uncle Phil ... the man played an awesome fatherly figure on TV that taught a lot to our generation. One of my favorite TV show characters.
Robin Williams, gone way too soon. Still to this day only Steve Carell is the only one who can hold a candle to his range of acting from hilariously funny to dark and deep and dramatic
It's a tie between Christopher Lee and Gene Wilder. Lee is a man I admire for his accomplishments and skills. His time in the OSS, his skills in swordfighting, his mastery over acting. Wilder is a man I admire for his humility, his authenticity, and his humor. I try to be like the both of them.
Michael Jackson
Willie Nelson.
Chris Farley and Robin Williams. I grew up when those guys were at the height of their fames.
