Current Events > Has a celebrity death ever effected you?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Not really, but I was legitimately sad when Carrie Fisher died and Debbie Reynolds shortly after.
---

Never anything beyond "Whoa, *insert celebrity here* died?" when they were young or it was otherwise unexpected.
---

Not really. Closest one was the dude in my sig.
---

No, not really.

I've never met one, and frankly you can count on one hand the celebrities who are actually respectable... and you'll have five fingers left.

I guess not hearing new MJ songs on the radio is an effect but not one I particularly care about.
---

Nah not really.
---

Just Steve Irwin. I think because I was young and I looked up to him.

Not really effected me but Bob Hoskins. I was sad for like an hour.

Reason: I used to watch Roger Rabbit all the freaking time when I was young and he played Eddie.
---

I was pretty bummed out when Carrie Fischer and Steve Irwin died as well. Ryan Dunn hit me pretty hard too.
---

Jesus dying
---

Robin Williams.
---

I'm not sure what's meant by "effected."
I have been sad to hear of the loss of musicians I grew up listening too.
---

Chris Cornell.

He was my favorite singer of that genre & I was primed to see him at Rock On The Range this year before it happened.

The moment I found out about Leonard nimoy passing, I fell to my knees and shouted khaaaaaaan with my fists raised towards the sky.
---

I was definitely saddest over Heath Ledger. Was a fan of a lot of his movies.
---

adam west & lemmy
---

Mister Rogers. Just because he seemed to be one of the most patient, kind people of all time and I thought the world lost one of the great ones.

I would say shaken up for more than a day.

What about music? Or movies? Video games?

I cried during one movie I think.
Always tear up at the end of Kingdom Hearts 1 for whatever reason.
And if I hear a good version of Amazing Grace that does it for me as well.

I never saw much outside of him outside of Knight's Tale and Brokeback Mountain.

I actually think Brokeback Mountain is kind of underrated.
---

I legit teared up when Satoru Iwata passed away. He's the only celebrity that I grieved for, because he and his products had a profound impact on my early years.
---

Robin Williams

Went to the Mrs. Doubtfire house shortly after his death and saw all the tributes written for him on the stones and trees outside the house. That definitely affected me. To see the impact a person can leave on so many people, it was inspiring.

I enjoyed Ned Kelly and Four Feathers, and of course the Dark Knight. Knight's Tale was one of my favorites as a kid too.

No. They are not real people.

Nier: Automata gave me a case of the feels.
Dave Brockie from GWAR's death made me really sad but it was also around the same time a friend of mine had died of cancer so that probably didn't help.

No, but i have been affected.

He shouldn't have Dunn did that drinking n' driving.
---

Iwata's death probably hit me the hardest. While I generally initially felt the same as any other celebrity death, when I looked at some of the fan tribute art, I legitimately wanted to cry.
---

Robin Williams by far. Still bums me out.

Not beyond usual sadness.
---

Michael Jackson
---

Chris Cornell

No one sings like you anymore
---

Maybe Robin Williams.

In that I actually felt a twinge of sorrow. Not even that much.

No, lol.

Chris Cornell's death definitely made me a bit sad. I listened to Like a Stone and got a bit misty-eyed
---

Iwata-san fucked me up a lot because of how they'd said he way getting better, but he was just secretly hiding the fact he was dying, so it came as a humongous surprise. That on top of how humongous and positive of an impact his work has had on my life.

David Bowie hit me hard too for similar reason, that he was hiding his illness from the public, so it was a huge tragic surprise that came during the midst of recording one of my own albums. So the thought of someone writing and recording an album while they had a terminal illness, while I was doing my own music work, fucked me up.

Steve Irwin too since I always liked up to him as a kid.


Tl;Dr
Iwata, Bowie, Irwin
---

Yes, if I enjoyed their work I usually get upset when they die. I've never cried or been depressed but Chyna (who I met and idolized as a child), Carrie Fisher, Prince, George Michael and Robin Williams were the ones that stand out. Eddie Guerrero dying was upsetting too
---

I felt that way with a Japanese voice actress. She was my favorite and for many anime cons, I was hoping to God they'd get her to come as a guest. One year, she dropped her voicing of Soi Fong in Bleach and was hospitalized. She died at 42. I just built myself up so much in hopes that my con would get her here one year and it never happened. She did a bunch of characters I absolutely loved but unfortunately..... RIP.

Not really. Only one who made me feel at least something was Robin Williams.
---

Bowie
---

Robin Williams and Alan Rickman pretty much ripped my heart out. Alan Rickman was one of the reasons I ended up being hospitalized, because I didn't know 2016 was gonna get so much f****** worse. oh boy was I wrong!
---

Nothing beyond "Oh man, that fucking sucks."
---

I mean I'm still gutted that Freddie Mercury is dead.
---

Oh the reason I ask this is I just discovered watching the voice and heard Christina Grimmies audition and explored her youtube channel.

Sad..she was younger than me.
