James Gandolfini, a tour de force as Tony Soprano.

Probably a weird one, but Terry Wogan.

Grew up watching him in the 80s and always gives me memories of the Eurovision. He reminded me massively of my father, so really felt it when Terry died.

Keith Floyd.

Saw a clip of him today, he was ahead of his time.

His exuberance and chaotic style were a breath of fresh air to TV cooking, despite his financial troubles and the fact he never trained as a Chef.

Rik Mayall. I was stunned when I heard that he had died. One of my all-time favourite men.One of my first and most enduring crushes. I'm still really sad about it.

Dermot Morgan, I was in my late teens and had been listening to Dermot on the radio for years. Myself and my brother used to tape Scrap Saturday and listen to it all week. Of course Fr. Ted was also huge but I have such fond memories of his voice on the radio.

Losing Prince, Leonard and Bowie all in a row was shocking.

Don't think that's a weird one at all.

Of all the 2016 deaths, it was Bowie & Wogan's demise that lingered a bit for me. His chat show & Blankety Blank were always on in my house & his frames of reference & gentle sense of humour would have been similar to that of many Irish men born in the 1940s. Reminded me quite a bit of my Dad too.

Im expecting 2017 to take Harrison Ford or Clint Eastwood.

Harrison seems to be doing his best to give 2017 a helping hand

He manages to injure himself pretty much every year, sadly.

Carrie Fisher definitley , Star Wars practically raised me lol

Maybe an unusual one, but Bob Holness, the original presenter of Blockbusters. Loved that show as a child.

Grandeeod · 27-02-2017 09:10PM

Some named here and some not. But the only celebrity deaths that sadden me tend to be those of people who still had loads more to give and died due to unfortunate circumstances that didn't involve drugs, alcohol, suicide or old age.

Bill Paxton has left us at age 61 from apparent complications with a medical proceedure. Great actor. That saddened me. Personal faves like Gene Wilder, didn't sadden me. He lived to a great age and had no more to give. I celebrated his passing by watching some of his great movies.

Mrs Woman · 27-02-2017 09:48PM

George Michael and Prince, both idols of mine and I took a while to be ok about Prince. George I was also incredibly sad over, I feel like the two I admired and followed are gone (which they are) and I didn't really have any others that I felt a connection to like that.

Tbh none. I think some are great losses to their respective fields as they had so much talent to offer, and I feel so sorry for the family who have to deal with their loved ones death especially if tragic, but I don't think Ive ever felt personally sad about a person I don't know and never met dying

Atoms for Peace · 31-08-2018 08:29PM

I was sad that Reagan and Thatcher didn't die roaring.

Charlie Chaplin.

Joe Stalin.

Bertie Bassett.

Godzilla.

That was a great episode of Come Dine With Me.

Dolores O Riordan. She was only a few years older than me and I’ve always loved her music. Everyone here in Limerick were all shocked and very sad when we heard she had died.

Bonfire Ahead · 01-09-2018 02:43AM

I don't get upset by celebrity deaths or understand the fascination with them. But of course it is possible to lament the passing of a favourite artist, etc. Philip Roth is a recent example of mine. As a fan of his novels it's a shame that there won't be any more.

SmartinMartin · 01-09-2018 03:03AM

Ian Dury. James Brown. David Bowie.

Probably to do with my age and incredible obsession with WWE at the time, but Eddie Guerrero's passing was a tough one for me.

Did he die in real life or a wrestling story-line?
I suppose you will never know for sure....

Jimmy Saville.

I was a big fan of 'Jim'll Fix It' as a kid. I didn't keep track of him in later years, but had a moment of melancholic nostalgia when I heard of his passing on the radio.

I know it's not cool to say it, but I cried when Diana died. It was her little boys following her coffin that set me off.

I also cried like a baby when George Michael died on Christmas day. He was my idol.

Ian 'Lemmy' Kilmister: Motorhead was the band that started my passionate love of rock and metal music at the young age of seven. Lemmy became an idol of mine through the years and I held him in the highest regard. His passing has, so far, been the only celeb death that I got deeply depressed over. Of course, I coped by continuing to listen to Motorhead and keeping his legacy alive with my eternal love of the band.

Big Van Vader: One of the many unfortunate pro wrestling deaths to occur this year alone. He was given two years to live since his heart was failing and doctors were struggling to treat the condition, although they didn't give up and it seemed like he was improving and was going to live for a longer period of time, he was even continuing to wrestle... Then he died of a different illness.

Carrie Fisher: I've never been the biggest Star Wars fanatic, and had only seen my very first Star Wars film (The Force Awakens) in cinema the year prior to Carrie's passing, but her untimely death was such a horrible and depressing footnote on a horrible and depressing 2016. What's even worse is how her mother also passed in the 48 hours following.

Funny you say that. Two years after Eddie's death, WWE did a thing where Vince McMahon was getting into a limo at the end of an important show (the annual draft lottery), and the limo exploded "with him inside."

"Who killed Vince?" was supposed to be the BIG summer storyline, then Chris Benoit happened.
