Bob Denver, mainly because I found out like 7 years after the fact.

I should add Rik Mayall to the list. I was very surprised to hear of his death, and sad. Would have dearly loved to see all of the Blackadder gang together again for one last romp, but it just won't be the same without good old Flash.

Not a single mention of John Lennon? I knew nothing about his death until the next afternoon. I had not watched television or heard the radio and then I got together with a couple of friends who said nothing about it until the conversation turned to music and I said "John Lennon just put out a great album". Then they told me. It was quite a shock. Even more shocking when I learned the details of it later. Other than that, the deaths of Robin William and Michael Jackson were certainly unexpected. The most disappointing celebrity death to me, as far as I can remember, was Keith Emerson's suicide which was not very long ago. I was a big fan. I mentioned Lennon a couple of days ago here, but I agree, I was surprised no one else had up to that point. My father was so surprised he nearly fell out of his wheelchair. He reacted as if he were shot himself. I think he has PTSD, lmfao. |

Prince Princess Diana Michael Jackson Alan Rickman Roy Halladay I always thought that instead of the drugs killing old MJ, one of his victims would grow up and murder him. |

I've posted elsewhere that the only thing that shocked me about Jackson's death was that it hadn't happened years before. The guy was an obvious walking trainwreck, mentally. |
