FabSwingers.com forum: What star's death shocked you the most?

South Wales

For me it was probably David Bowie, brought up with his music and listened to it almost daily.

Mr says the same about Prince that he just couldn't believe it when he heard of his death.

Have a lovely Sunday all.

Not a mainstream celebrity, but the comedian Ian Cognito. He was a legend in the industry and when I had a text early morning saying he'd died on stage, I thought at first he'd just had a bad gig, but he'd actually died at work.

The booker of the gig said of it, 'I'd say dying on stage in front of an audience was what he would have wanted, but he'd have preferred a bigger room and a larger fee,'

Not mainstream but Mark Keds, singer of Sennseless Things.

I also saw Keef at Glastonbury doing his own stuff. The Prodigy just won't be the same with out him.

John Peel...Always enjoyed listening to him on Radio 1 and also when he was at Glastonbury, he always played some real different sounds...he introduced us to The Undertones/Teenage Kicks among other bands.

George Micheal...I saw Wham way back in the 80's, enjoy His solo stuff too, good looking and an excellent voice, and didn't he entertain us with his naughty antics

Rock guitarist Randy Rhoads. He toured with Ozzy Osbournes band and played on his first two solo albums. The band were on tour (and actually there) when he was tragically killed in a plane crash. I was a teenager at the time and for many of that age, it shocked us greatly. Rhoads was destined for greater things. Very sad.

That was a tragic one. He was scared of flying too which makes it all the more strange. Why would he agree to go for a joyride on a plane being flown by a bus driver?!

Shane Warne, younger than me and an icon to cricket fans.

I wasn’t shocked by MJ’s death. He’d been practicing ahead of a residency at the O2 and I had tickets to see him. I remember seeing film of him rehearsing and thinking how frail he looked and that ominously I would not see him on his tour. Sadly I was right.

Ayrton senna, I had very little understanding of who he was at the time, but to be in a house with men that I had never seen cry in my life before, in floods of tears, leaves a lasting impression.

All stars eventually run out of their hydrogen gas fuel and die. The way a star dies depends on how much matter it contains—it's mass. As the hydrogen runs out, a star with a similar mass to our sun will expand and become a red giant.

Dolores O'Reardon for sure- way too young and so talented.

Amy Winehouse too, only a couple of days older than me, such a waste of beautiful but troubled lives

Rik Mayall was really sad. Lemmy, Christopher hitchens, Alexi laiho and a few others were also a huge loss for me.

Jules Bianchi, F1 driver died in 2014 Japanese Grand Prix.

After the bad early years in the '60s and '70s we had all got so used, by the early 2000s, to drivers walking away from wrecked cars, Bianchi's death was a big shock.

Also Phillip Hughes. Yes, he got hit with the cricket ball but never expected him to actually pass away as a result.

"Rik Mayall, felt like a part of my childhood had died too."

Outside of the music post I did earlier, this. I was (and am) a big fan of Rik and his amazing sense of humour since his appearance as Kevin Turvey on A Kick Up the Eighties. Had the pleasure of meeting him once. He was a gentleman and very polite to his other fans and me. Much missed.

Technically, he didn't die at the GP- it was many months later from the injuries.

I remember seeing the crash and you knew it wasn't going to be a good outcome when the cockpit lifted a telehandler off its wheels

We should also mention Roland Ratzenberger and Ayrton Senna, both killed at the San Marino GP in 1994. Lots of people heard about and remember Senna's death but not many remember that Ratzenberger died the previous day.
