Current Events > What celebrity death still makes you sad :(

(+) Yeah! (+)

Aaliyah (probably my first celebrity crush)
Anton Yelchin
Nipsey Hussle

Honestly, Kobe because it overshadowed the deaths of my friend and my cousin.

I also want to add Drakeo the Ruler.

he was so good at playing the bad guy, and was naturally smug and funny.

he was also a really influential rapper in the LA scene, and I would have liked to see the kind of person he could have become.

Chris Cornell

Can't believe I'm the first to say Philip Seymour Hoffman. So many no doubt amazing movies and roles we'll never get to see. RIP

Jessica Walter was pretty recent but that one's gonna get me for a while

Malcolm x

Edit: add Tupac as well

George Carlin

If authors can count as celebrities, Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett for starters.

Robin Williams - he was like a father figure in acting for many of millennials growing up. He was funny and his acting was phenomenal and Oscar worthy. Aladdin, Good Will Hunting , and even What Dreams May Come. It sucks he killed himself because of his form of dementia.

Chester Bennington - Linkin Park was one of my favorite bands growing up. I wanted to see a concert with them live that year, but never got to. He was a really nice guy with a good message, and he went through a lot of shit. His songs hit different now. We don't really think about what musicians go through, but how we can relate to them. But now there he's gone and I hear all about his songs about depression, it just makes me sad about him. He thought he couldn't be saved.

Kobe
I'm not a huge basketball fan, but his death was fucking too tragic and surreal. Like seriously? A helicopter ride with one of his daughters and some other people.

He was larger than life and it affected so many people including my brother who was a big fan of him. He was actually a decent guy and role model too. He died way too young.

I 100% feel bad for people who died in small aircraft accidents. Way too many rock stars have died in those too.

Rick Alan, Heath Ledger, Chadwick Boseman too. Fuck.

All the young people who passed away from OD, cancer or or crazy accidents just sucks especially, cause their lives were cut too short to really have a career in acting.

Lemmy

Maybe coincidentally I'm listening to Motorhead right now

Mitsuharu Misawa
Hana Kimura

Prince

John witherspoon and charlie murphy.

Charlie murphy had a real good thing going in black jesus and john witherspoon was livin' his best life and was in talks with voicing granddad again for more boondocks. (actual good boondocks with the creator aaron mcgruder back on board).

Also felt crappy when bernie mac passed away.

Grant Imahara :(

Chadwick Boseman

Oh this so much

Robin Williams is the only one to make me feel emotional. Understandably, given how many of his movies I grew up with. I still remember finding out about it through a Twitch stream chat.

Prince

Would gladly trade in the entire Kardashian family to hear him rant about our current political landscape.

Thuy Trang (Trini the first Yellow Ranger from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers)
Jason David Frank (Tommy from Power Rangers)
Robert Axelrod (Lord Zedd and Finster from Power Rangers)
Pua Magasiva (Shane the Red Ranger from Power Rangers Ninja Storm)

Besides those actors from Power Rangers, also:

Davy Jones
Peter Tork
Mike Nesmith

Like someone else said, it's hard to believe that Micky is the only one left from The Monkees.

We may be the only two Monkees fans on here.

Robin Williams and James Gandolfini

Prince

August Aimes

EOM dying of an auto immune disease hit very close to home for me

Kobe Bryant
Ray Liotta
Eddie Guerrero

I think I'm gonna be pretty sad when Bob Dylan dies. And also Ric Flair.

John Ritter

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

That's funny because were he still alive, the ignorant majority of today would call him a boomer despite the fact that he is part of the older Silent Generation.

Robin Williams, Prince, and Bowie

There's others that also make me sad but those three had the biggest impact on me throughout my life.
