Ever Cry Over a Celebrity's Death? (Nirvana, Biography, Gene Wilder, Lost)

[chocolate77]

I'm telling you right now, if I find out that Tevin Campbell, Stevie Wonder, Prince, Janet Jackson, El Debarge, Diana Ross, Patti LaBelle, Beyonce, or any of my favorite singers die, I will NEVER listen to music again!

Yes, Waylon Jennings. Most of my young life if he made a song it was almost exactly what was happening in my life at that time. I still miss the mans songs

I cried when Elvis died - I was only 7 but my older sisters were big fans so I grew up listening to him.

I cried when River Phoenix died. I had a major crush on him. He was my future husband after all so yeah, I cried.

I cried when John Ritter died. I loved him. It may also have something to do with him dying on my birthday - 9/11. I met his son Jason last year on the set of a movie and even though he's an amazing person in his own right, he reminded me so much of his father.

I also cried when Lucille Ball died.

I don't think I cried for any others but admit to being choked up on a few occasions.

I cried a lot when MJ died... he always has been and always will be my biggest idol. I still can't believe he's gone and will never stop missing him.

I shed a tear when I was at Elvis's grave in Memphis.

I didn't cry, but was very very sad when I heard about Patrick Swayze and Brittany Murphy.

I felt the same way. I have been listening to his music non-stop since that day. I never thought I'd see the day.

I'm still sad about MJ. He's supposed to be honored at the Grammy's this Sunday; my only reason for tuning in.

Same here. In fact, not a day goes by, that a thought of him doesn't pop into my head.
I think they are showing a 3 D video clip during Grammy's, that was supposed to be part of the TTI show. You can get 3 D glasses at Target.

I'm not a very emotional person, but I did cry when a few celebs died:
Heath Ledger - totally unexpected and way too young
River Phoenix - his posters lined my walls and I just loved him
Johnny Carson - no late night talk show or host will EVER top him
Paul Newman - a great actor and humanitarian, I know he was ready to go, but I still wanted him to stick around.

I was a fan of Michael Jackson when I was 10 but wasn't a fan after about the late 1980's. I knew he was on a decline and wasn't surprised that he passed. Of course it is sad when any talented, young father dies, but I didn't mourn him.

The day Clint Eastwood goes...you may find me slumped in a huge puddle of tears. I can't imagine the world without him.

I cried my heart out when Aaliyah died.
