Whitney Houston.
She was and still is one of my all time favorite singers. I was pissed by her drug use and so sad for her daughter. |
| Agree with Anthony Bourdain. His death really shocked and saddened me. |
|
Another for Robin Williams here
but also River Phoenix. He was only a couple years younger than I was at the time and it was a big shock. |
| Patrick Swayze. Brittany Murphy. |
| JFK Jr. just such a sad family legacy. |
This! |
| I remember being super sad about John Candy. |
| Aaliyah's death rocked me, and then two weeks later 9/11 happened. |
|
Prince - still sad and shocking
Michael Jackson - although not sure it would have the same effect now Princess Diana - she was my age and her wedding dress was the one we all aspired to Gwen Ifill - I particularly miss her every election cycle Technically RBG's death will impact us the most because of the current makeup of the court, but because it was so expected if didn't hit me |
| I generally have no interest in celebrities, but I was surprisingly saddened by the news of the death of Luis Troyano, a Great British Bakeoff participant who just seemed like such a nice person. |
| Nora Ephron & Kurt Vonnegut |
| Leonard Nimoy. He lived a good long life, but I was just so unexpectedly sad, as I looked to him as a role model. |
|
Kurt Cobain
John Ritter Prince Tom Petty |
That was so sad. |
Same for me. Read all his books. Going forward, the one that will absolutely shatter me will be Billy Joel. |
