Current Events > Has a celebrity's death ever made you cry?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Eddie Guerrero

Why would I cry over somebody I dont even know lmao

Norm MacDonald, cause it was the death of comedy.

Kobe Bryant

Kobe, Chadwick Boseman, Norm Mcdonald

Nope. I do think some celebs are notably good people but I have to have some kind of connection to sob over one person's death.

Robin Williams and Eddie Guerrero.

Owen Hart. I was 11, and my sister would always buy the WWF PPVs and we would all watch in the living room, I cried myself to sleep that night.

Robin Williams

Patch Adams is one of my favorite movies that my dad showed me

the way his mind worked was amazing
he was a different breed of comedian

sucks that he caught something that made him go away

Owen Hart

That's it.

I'll admit that sometimes I get that somber feeling when listening to Linkin Park, Amy Winehouse, or *insert 90s grunge/post grunge act here* but never actual tears.

Not a celebrity, but Etika's suicide really shocked me

It was sad news when Byron 'Reckful' Bernstein died.

Depressing story below

He died through suicide from jumping from the balcony of his apartment building. In the months prior he had been participating in these sort of online therapy sessions to help others struggling with mental health problems (I think he had bi-polar disorder himself). In one of the sessions he mentions how he been having recurring nightmares where he was falling.

Robin Williams.

Roger Ebert and Robin Williams

Didn't really cry but I was super depressed at Steve Irwin, Satoru Iwata, and Fred Rogers.

Eddie Van Halen, just felt like a light went out in the world for music in the wake of his passing

No, but the ones that hit me the hardest are Carrie Fisher and Kentaro Miura.

Oh and Steve Irwin. I loved watching him, growing up.

There were a few. Sean Connery, Betty White, Jon Pinette, and just last night I found out that my favorite late night announcer Alan Kalter passed late last year.

Didn't cry but i was really sad and had an awful day when James Gandolfini died

Stephen Hillenburg

Shook me to my core.

No but I almost came close with Betty White. Golden Girls pretty much plays on loop in my house so it almost feels like she's part of my family.

When Madonna goes, though, I am going to be inconsolable.

yupp, that one hurt

Paul walker . 2fast2soon

Anne Rice.

Ah I forgot Heath Ledger. I didn't cry, but that one made me sad, I liked his movies.

Terry Pratchett got me. There was just something particularly tragic about someone with so many ideas left to write slowly losing the ability to express himself. The fact that the process was so honestly and openly documented by him and his family and friends made it hit home. Plus he lived quite close to me and I met him several times, which surely made it harder.

Bowie hit me, too, but that was less tragic because he clearly accepted it and went out on such a high note.

Steve Irwin

No i dont cry at human deaths. Been to many a funeral and cant shed a tear. The minute i lose a pet tho i cry like a bitch.

I've never cried from the death of anyone even close to me. I don't know why, I know ill miss them and never see them again, but I just dont cry over death. Now I bawled my eyes out when we thought my daughter had leukemia, or during any sappy shit in any media, but funerals and the deaths of people have never triggered tears before.

Im not really a crier but definitely been real sad and real down after a few. I was young as hell but Chris Farley got me, couldnt watch any of his movies or anything for several years after. Kobe was real tough. DMX. Dolph. Pop Smoke only because I had like just gotten really into him. Nate Dogg bummed me out a lot.

Dolph lundgren is dead?

honestly the only one that actually got me a bit was Jessica Walter. i've watched Arrested Development (just seasons 1-3 of course) about a thousand times and Archer a fair amount as well.

she was such a treasure, and i only know her from those two shows. i'm sure she's been in shitloads more that were more or less before my time. but she is just so much fun in those two shows that it did leave a little bit of a mark

Kobe and his daughter. That was so tragic.

I still get sad about Aaliyah, too.

lolNope

Dunno if he can be considered a celebrity or not, but Monty Oum's death hit me pretty hard. He had so much going for him and he was such a savant of his craft. Such a terrible way to go, going for a routine medical procedure and having an allergic reaction.

Rest in peace Monty.

Eddie Guerrero and Kobe Bryant

Robin Williams was also depresssing af but i didnt cry. Same with James Avery

Pretty much any death of a Muppeteer on Sesame Street or Sesame Street adult who was in "Follow That Bird" fucks me up. Not enough to cry, but close.

This included Jim Henson, Carol Spinney (Big Bird), Jerry Nelson (the Count) Luis, Olivia, and David.

i forgot how much alex holowka bummed me out, thats another one. night in the woods really resonated with me because the characters in it reminded me of people i grew up with. that whole day really fucked me up and i pretty much went offline for a couple days because of the reaction to it

Kobe hit me the hardest but i did not cry

RIP Billy Herrington ;__;

Chris Farley
Owen hart
Brodie Lee

Seriously? Not one single mention of Satoru Iwata, Gunpei Yokoi, Hiroshi Yamauchi?

Eddie Guerrero when I was a kid

David Bowie and John Wetton

Steve Irwin was like a childhood idol in my area growing up. His death shook tf outta me alright, was still pretty young.

Not cried, but Robin Williams and Chester Bennington's death really bums me out and does to this day when I think about them. It's like losing a close loved one

I didnt cry but man Aviciis death was so upsetting. Dude made some of my favorite music and for him to go out the way he did was heartbreaking.

This Avicii video did make me cry tho when I saw it for the first time.

No, but I've felt bad about the death of a celebrity before. I can sympathize with people who do cry because what they gave them meant a lot to them, even if I haven't felt that strongly. I will say Terry Pratchett was one of the people whose death certain bummed me out at least.

Didnt cry but got really sad when Scott Weiland, Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington died.
