Who's celebrity death effected you the most? t?

For me it was Bill Hicks. I also witnessed a lot of sorrow when Kurt Kobain died.

Why did their passing on mean that much to you?

Maude Flanders.

She was just such a good person and so generous to the community. When I think of poor Ned and those 2 beautiful boys she left behind, Rod and Todd.

It still brings a lump to my throat even now.

weiland79 · 30-09-2010 9:48pm

Well at the time it was Kurt Cobain his was the first music that really meant anything to me and his death touched me quite profoundly. I was 17 at the time.

More recently (cue abuse) Gerry Ryan. Actually felt like i lost a friend as i used to listen to him every morning. Sometimes still listen to his podcasts on 2fm.

I wouldn't say I get effected by celebrity deaths as they are people I don't know and in most cases, inhabit a completely different world to me.

Gerry Ryan was the closest I guess. I didn't particularly like him (he irked me actually) but I grew up with him as a public figure on tv and radio in Ireland.

I remember watching the rubbish show he had on Friday nights (secrets?) back in the early 90's and then him spouting crap on the radio. He wasn't an old man so it touched on my own mortality when he went.

The outpouring of grief when celebritues die generally bemuses me.

enda1 · 30-09-2010 9:50pm

Would have to be Diana.

Not because I cared about her, but because it affected my ability to watch my television programs in peace for like 2 months straight!!!

RobFowl · 30-09-2010 9:50pm

Freddie Mercury
Seemed far too talented and full of life to die so young.

Scuid Mhór · 30-09-2010 9:50pm

george harrison, not that i knew who he was back then but because my dad got really emotional and i'm a bit of a copycat. since then i haven't really felt anything but when the times come that hugh laurie, kiefier sutherland and paul mccartney pass away, i'll be a wreck.

Sardonicat · 30-09-2010 9:52pm

Found out recently that Philip off Bosco died back in 1987. My inner child was distraught.

Teared up a bit when I heard George Harrison had died.

Daith · 30-09-2010 9:53pm

Owen Hart or Dermot Morgan.

Smokin_Aces · 30-09-2010 9:53pm

Heath Ledger - Always admired his acting abilties and his sense of style.
Chris Beniot - Stopped doing backyard wrestling and reckless behavior regarding the welfare of my health. Bit of a stretch really but glad I toned it down after that.

Phil Harris, the captain of Cornelia Marie, felt like i was there:(

Tony_Yeboah · 30-09-2010 10:17pm

Jesus. I'm still coming to terms with it.

W.Shakes-Beer · 30-09-2010 10:21pm

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.

starbelgrade · 30-09-2010 10:22pm

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!

token56 · 30-09-2010 10:30pm

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.
