I am fascinated by the effect that celebrities have on us, especially how we grieve their passing. I was gutted by the passing of Terry Jones from Monty Python. Not just his death but how he died. Someone who lived by making people laugh should not die by losing his speech.

Robin Williams’s August 2014 suicide was devastating. You never really know what’s hiding behind a smile.

    When David Bowie died….I gained a world of music. I only knew him as Jareth from Labrynth. I though he was my secret, some unheard of actor no one else remembered was so awesome. I literally didn’t know David Bowie made music until he died. I’m 42.

    Prince Philip

    He was just so elegantly offensive. Almost anything he ever said to anyone was a classic one-liner. My guess is that he did it to entertain the Queen and it was an in-joke between them. I never thought I would but I miss them both. King Charles doesn't seen to carry the same weight as his mum did. Plus, he sounds like a dog breed. I'm not sure if that's a positive or not?

    Robin Williams was the death that really made me realize that we don’t know what other people’s struggles are, and every time I watch a movie with him in it I feel really sad that he was gone too soon. RIP ROBIN WILLIAMS! He will always be remembered for his roles, my favourite role he did was obviously Mrs. Doubtfire, I love that movie so much.

    Cameron Boyce, I grew up with that kid, he aged up with the shows that I watched, I remember reading the news and being in complete shock, thinking that it's a different Cameron. It felt like a part of my childhood died with him

    Chester Bennington. I always loved Linkin Park, but especially one song helped me during a tough time so much... When I learned about his passing, it felt like a black hole in my chest and it still does. It never stops hurting. It's made even worse by the fact LP were in my country month before and I decided I don't have enough money to go, and I will go next time... Rest in Peace beautiful soul.

    I think he did indeed write his suicide note 3 years in advance. I don't care what people say, Leave Out All the Rest sounded exactly like a lyrical suicide note. Godspeed T_T

    He was a huge influence on my life even though I've only seen him through the screen. His videos really helped me cheer up. When I heard he died I was in shock and still am a few months later. I can't watch his videos without crying. F***k cancer

    If you've watched his dad's and Dream's recent video, his dad said something that really hit hard. It was something along the lines of "what are you gonna do? life gets you down, and it really sucks. but all you can do is laugh. it's always good to laugh. because there's so much joy in everything."

    Burt Reynolds. A childhood hero. Don't mind his private life. When Burt left, it did hurt. The Bandit is no longer with us.

    Dale Earnhardt. Was a big fan. Seeing him crash (looked pretty harmless at the time) and to hear later from the NASCAR President the words "we've lost Dale Earnhardt" was tough...

    And John Candy left us far too early....

    I had just arrived at work and one of my co-workers pulled me aside and gently told me that he had died. All of my co-workers rallied around me cuz I just cried like a baby. I still can't believe it. I just watched his drum solo again the other day as a matter of fact.

    I’m really sad about Leslie Jordan💔he was such a joyful person. The other was Bill Paxton, I really enjoyed his work. So sorry they’re no longer with us but they left a body of work that we can enjoy forever.

    George Michael. I grew up with his music, first Wham! and after that solo. His voice and music helped me through some rough times, still does. He died to young and they say he wasn’t very happy at the end. I wish he had a longer and happier life ❤️

    Yul Brynner. Spent my life planning to meet that man when I grew up. Only to learn in my 20’s, that he died when I was 5. King Mongut was a father figure to me (yeah I grew up without cable TV and loved on old musicals). Then I decided to work on meeting my second favorite…Pavarotti. Guess what….

    Honestly Cameron Boyce's death hurt me a lot. I grew up watching him on Disney channel and he seemed like such a good person. Seeing that headline just shattered my heart.

    Also Leslie Jordan's death is something I've still not processed. It was just so unexpected.

    Hana Kimura, Stardom Joshi wrestler.

    The fact that she was bullied into taking her own life just because of a character she played on a dating show was enough to convince me that people are figurative sh*t at times.

    Just 22 with the world at her feet. Now, every time I read a post about her, I tear up at what could have been if she hadn't ended it all. Most of all though, I feel for her mother, Kyoko. She was very close to her daughter and both were in a wrestling faction together at some point. The fact that she had to bury her own daughter just makes me sick of humanity at times.
