Which celebrity deaths have shocked you most?

IvaBigWun2

Kurt Cobain, Gary Speed and Princess Diana probably would be mine. I can still see the breaking news on Sky in the early hours covering the death of Diana, it all seemed a bit surreal.

And although she led a drug fused lifestyle Amy Winehouse stands out too.

Princess Diana. Could not believe the news headlines. Can recall going out for lunch that Sunday, the waiting staff were in tears just like ourselves. Indeed we could not eat our lunch as we were just too upset. Although I never met the lady I always felt as if I knew her as we were of the same age group.

Gerry Ryan was another shocker, again I never met the man however he kept me company from time to time when I was travelling . His open style, mentioning his wife and family gave a great insight to the man. Calling a spade a spade was definitely his strong point. He was certainly one of Ireland's greatest broadcasters

John Lennon, remember it well. I only just bought the Double White album and had a pair of his style specs.

Elvis and Diane were next.

Nelson Mandela. ( I know he's not dead technically, I'm just future proofing my post).

Yep, doubt anybody will have seen that coming, I mean I've seen all the news about his failing health, but still he's only a whipper snapper of 94

87, it would be shocking if he was cut down in his prime too.

The idea of being moved by the death of a "celebrity" whom I don't know is baffling on every conceivable level.

What are people lacking in their own lives that they need such a truly bizarre publc emotional outlet for personal feelings?

WumBuster

None really. People die all time, just because they were celebrities dosent make it any more shocking.

Michael Jackson. It still saddens me that I never got to see him live in concert

Elvis Delaney. Won first prize at the Feis Ceoil in 1976 for ukulele solo. Died suddenly from baldness. Shocking stuff.

paddydriver

Ayrton Senna - Even more shocking having watched the movie in recent times.

Princess Diana - was a little aggrieved though that they cancelled the Newcastle Vs Liverpool match the next day; was all set for a day in the pub.

ThreeBlindMice

Kieth Moon and Jim Morrison were shockers for me.
