    As mentioned above: Captain Phil Harris.

    Don't know what it was, think it was because I used to watch so much Deadliest Catch and Phil was the one Captain on there that I really admired as a person.

    Really felt it when he passed, don't know what it was.

    Jeff Buckley. I met him a few times before he died - a lovely guy, very funny & tremendously talented.

    RIP Jeff.

    Probably either John Hughes or Elliott Smith.

    I loved every one of John Hughes movies.. had massive respect for the guy's writing and characters he created (Uncle Buck, John Bender, Ferris Bueller.. to name just 3). I was very sad to learn of his passing. He left Hollywood after being given a sh*tty time by Hollywood execs and to spend time with family, but he probably made the right decision.

    Elliott Smith just made some of the finest and most memorable music I've ever heard. He'll be sorely missed, and only got the credit he deserved after his death. But isn't that always the way!

    I dont think anyones has really affected me seriously but two that stick out in my head are Darren Sutherland and Jon Lee (former drummer from Feeder).

    Two people who it seemed were doing so well in life just before they commited suicide. Hearing about both deaths gave me a similar feeling of unease for some reason.

    Nothing. Celebrities always fail to move me in life or death. They're a meaningless, artificial irrelevance. I'll cheer when Bono snuffs it though.

    For me it was Bill Hicks.

    Was he really a celebrity though? I got the impression he wasn't very much 'celebrated' or appreciated while he was alive

    I agree with challengemaster. How can anyone feel anything for people they never knew?

    John Wayne. The man was a legend. He was dead before I was born but would have loved to live when his films came out. Life seemed much simpler then although it wasnt. The Quiet Man - brilliant film, tense, laughter, angry, love, and happiness at the end

    Ayrton Senna - I wouldnt class him as a celebrity though, he was a racing driver known the world over as one of the greatest

    Syd Barrett (original Pink Floyd singer/guitarist), although I don't know if he could be classed as a celebrity as such. I find it sad that most people, if they knew anything about him at all, knew him for being 'mad' and knew nothing about his brilliant music.

    Also George Harrison and Johnny Cash.

    Buddy Holly. We'd never have had to listen to American Pie if he was still alive.

    That caused quite a stir. The ensuing ruck was quite something.
