Do you mean the death of her career?

I remember there was rumours of Christie Dignams death when I was still in school , and the first DJ scooter rumour about him ODing . These rumours cut me up then I found out when I got home these were just hoaxes.
Ye cant kill Christy , he is a bare foot warrior.

Bernie Mac , great acter and comedian he also seemed like a great person outside of his professions

Christopher Reeve. Grew up a huge fan of the superman movies.

Hachiko, broke my heart it did!

Christopher Hitchens. Partly because I was a big fan of his writing, but mainly because my mother was suffering from a similar illness at the time, and his death was an upsetting reminder of what was inevitably going to happen to her (she died three months later).

Indycar driver Dan Wheldon and MotoGP driver Marco Simoncelli both killed in crashes very close to one another. I think most fans of motorsport were saddened by that, even if they weren't fans of those particular series. I believe an american rally driver was also killed around the same time in a plane crash.

The Demise of my late gold fish and the way it would look at me was sadder than anybody famous dying .

the untimely passing of Kirsty McCall

Phil Hartman - very tragic.

Steve McQueen, he shouldn't be dead. He's too cool to be dead. Where's my DVD of Bullitt?

On a lesser level, Michael Jackson shouldn't be dead, not that I had any particular regard for his music. But it seems wrong he's dead.

I can't help thinking Freddie Mercury went too soon.

On the other hand there's a number of actors and singers who really should be around. Bogart, Sinatra, Gagney, etc. I know their time came and went but the new generation are crap.

Jim Stynes.

I watched the documentary about him and it was truly powerful stuff. His wife was saying that in her heart she still believed he would beat cancer even though in her head she knew it was impossible.

RIP Jim Stynes.

It just.. hit me badly. One less seagull on the shoreline. The starfish of time makes its way slowly across the pebbles of destiny.

He posted on facebook just the other day, so unless he's doing it from beyond the grave

Why would i want to be upset if someone "famous" dies???

It is not like they mean anything to me in a personal or family level and i am hardly gonna get a day or two off work to grieve for someone who would not know me from Adam.

Dub Ste · 06-07-2012 11:07AM

I'd have to say Freddie Mercury.

When I was growing up,Queen were my life(looking back now,it's kinda scary!!),I absolutely loved em.

Spent any money I had on buying records,magazines,videos of them.

I was lucky to meet Freddie once,saw Queen 5 times including the last gig at Knebworth,so was really upset when he died,it felt like a little bit of my childhood had died with him.

Looking at May and Taylor are doing to his legacy,if he'd have been buried,he'd be spinning in his grave.......

creativedrinker · 06-07-2012 11:21AM

I was only young at the time but when I heard Dermot Morgan died I was sad, ironically it was a Sunday and I had just come home from mass......

Every time I see a queen documentry and it gets to the end about Freddie, that always gets me to

Another one for MJ. Undoubtably
the biggest pop artist of all time. Such a sad end to a mostly unhappy life. I really hope his children do him proud in years to come.

I think his kids will have a more normal life now. He kept them isolated from the world and had them covered up on the rare occasion they got out in public. He was a strange guy with a lot of unanswered questions about his life.

ZeitgeistGlee · 07-07-2012 02:59AM

Any actors/actresses from movies I loved as a child always hit hard. Chris Farley comes to mind as a particularly tragic one.

K-9 · 07-07-2012 03:06AM

Alex Higgins saddened me, so much talent and such a life in turmoil.

Kudos to the poster who named Vincent Hanley, forgot about him and it was nice to see somebody mention his name, seemed a gentleman.

MCA Adam yauch really disspointed me cause he was my hero...

Man the beastie boys were my child hood heroes

Some people have their own connections to people for whatever reason. It may not mean anything to you but it can to them.

The death of which famous person upset you most?
