No. I don't really get overly upset over celebrity deaths like I am sad when they pass away and am disappointed we won't get any more albums from them when they are artists or lead vocalists of bands I am a fan of but if I don't know them personally it doesn't have much of an affect on me. One thing I will say is I hate how hypocritical the media can be with celebrity deaths.Before Michael Jackson died they were always calling him a weirdo and bringing up allegations of him being a pedophile and before Whitney Houston died they were calling her a dried up has been and tearing strips out of her for the concerts she played leading up to her death but after they died Michael become the King of Pop and Whitney Houston was the greatest female vocalist of all time and these were the exact same journalists who were constantly putting them down before they died.
With that being said, one death that surprised me was Brittany Murphy's 'cause of how young she was.

Aaliyah. I was 14 when she died and a huge fan of hers. I remember my mom telling me she'd passed when she woke me up for church. That tragedy could've been prevented. Who? You're on the internet. Look her up... |

I don't really get too upset over celebrity deaths. I don't know them personally, so it doesn't really affect me the same way as it did when my mother died.

I was pretty sad when Leonard Nimoy died, which is interesting considering I grew up on and am a bigger fan of The Next Generation.

Michael Jackson. It hit me so hard. I felt like I lost a family member. It took me at least 6 months to move forward. I was shocked at how hard it hit me too. Of course I was a fan in the 80s. Then as he grew odd and isolated I became less of a fan. I did introduce my kids to his music and awesome music videos. I then focused on just enjoying his old music. I never got into his newer music. I thought This It tour was cool but I had no interest in trying to get tickets. So I still have no idea why his death shook me to the core. I mean I bawled for days! The day of the memorial I was a basket case! It was crazy and kinda annoyed me too because I'm the type who keeps emotions bottled up. It was crazy. I still find it hard to believe he's gone.

Steve Irwin aka The Crocodile Hunter. That one upset me more than any other, even many of those who have already been mentioned in this thread. That was very hard too. Our whole family enjoyed his show. I saw the news and had to tell my kids. That was very hard. They were young and for them his death was the first celebrity death they would deal with. I'll never forget seeing their faces as I told them. |

It seems that naterdawg doesn't understand that when a fan has a favorite actor, whose performances the fan has enjoyed since the fan was a child, that actor can very much seem like family to the fan, because that actor has always been a part of the fan's life, and when the actor dies, it can "UPSET" the fan greatly, because the actor is no longer going to be around to entertain the fan. Fan's being "UPSET" over the death of their favorite actors have been occurring for decades, and will continue to happen in the future, no matter what naterdawg thinks, or says on this discussion forum! I don't think naterpup (too immature to be a dog) understands very much, period. You can't explain empathy to someone who lacks it. |

Michael Jackson's death upset me not only because of the death itself, but because of society's reaction to it. A VAST majority of the people I knew had mostly negative things to say about Michael for about the last 15 years of his life. Then, once he died everybody who was bashing him relentlessly in life suddenly became a fan in death, when he was no longer around to actually hear their kind words. People I knew were still mean and hateful after he died. I had a friend or who I thought was a friend say they were glad he died! That upset me more because he wasn't just a musician he was a son, brother and dad. The lack of care I saw in many around me hurt me too. I felt alone in grieving his death. I just couldn't believe how cold some people could be. I will say I saw some true colors in people I thought we friends and nice people. |
