Celeb Deaths that have stuck with you

[WJ99mobile]

Following Sean Locks death there’s a few celebrity deaths that have given me a lump in my throat in Anthony Bordain
& George Michael and even shed a few tears when Whits and Speedo died.

Strange really when you don’t know them.

Margaret Thatcher.

Even with the passing of time, her demise still makes me happy.

*cue howls of outrage*

elvis presley.......... but hate that word celeb

[J R Hartley]

Amy Winehouse. Such a waste of that talent.

Speedo obviously. Had proper shock. Was watching it on Sky Sports News and just couldn’t comprehend it.

Same for Whitt’s. Just didn’t want it to be true.

[life on mars]

Kurt Cobain , as I had a ticket.

I think realising Sala had been killed tragically was one of the worst for me. Hoping for good news, then when it never materialised. I'd heard that Whitts was critically ill in hospital before it was made public and that was a real choker. I admit to sharing a tear over the death of Phil Suarez, even though I never met the guy.

An anecdote about my son and the death of Sala. He wanted a new City shirt with Sala's name on it when it was announced we'd signed him. He printed a photo of Sala and pinned it on his bedroom wall. He was 6 at the time. I remember picking him up from school the day we knew Sala had died, so I wondered how to tell him. In the end I just said what had happened. His reply was "it's ok Dad, we've got other strikers"...

That's a great post and I'm glad it ended with making me smile. I don't think I could take any more emotion on here today after reading Blue Matt's post about the Afghan lad as well.

I've admired many from afar and it's sad for their families when they croak but I've never felt sad at the death of someone I watch on telly etc.

[splott parker]

Lennon, still f*cking annoyed at the senselessness of it.

[Whisperer]

I was gutted when Johnny Owen got killed in the ring it felt close to home, more than when Lennon got killed a few days later.

My father was his main sparring partner in the build up to the fight and was one of the pallbearers. He still wears a St Christopher that Jonny Owens gave him as a thank you. Very sad.

[mazadona10]
