Now, if your response is along the lines of, "Why would I care about some celebrity?", then you should consider taking yourself elsewhere as this thread is not for your selfish cold-hearted self, bless your heart.

Anyway, there were several big names that passed away this year, i.e.: David Bowie, George Michael, Glenn Frey, Alan Rickman, and so on, but the one that affected me more than the rest was Prince. I felt he was a true musical genius.

Alan Rickman. He was so ****ing great in the Harry Potter movies.

...and now he's gone. :(
 
i'm sorry to see any of them pass. Prince and Alan Rickman dying sucked pretty badly, as did the others. Rest in peace.
 
Sports - Muhammad Ali

Cinema - Christopher Lee

Music - Prince

Ali dwarfed everyone else.
 
Non of them really. I don't hold a reverence for celebrities. I watch their movies and listen to their music, but other than that they are just people that I don't know personally.
 
Tough one. Probably Gene Wilder.

Greetings, radcen. :2wave:

He made a great living by portraying a character most people didn't like! I didn't like his character in Die Hard either! Weird, but interesting choice of roles to play! :mrgreen:.
 
Arnold Palmer was right up there with Ali. So was Gordie Howe.

Lemmy and Bowie were both tougher to take than Prince and Merle Haggard was a tougher shot than either of those

John Glenn was a hard one to take

He did, indeed. Another one who does an awesome job at playing unlikable characters is Kiefer Sutherland.

Leonard Cohen. Not so much as a performer, but as a songwriter he was as close to unequalled as anyone.

Alan Thicke because of how he died, playing hockey with his son.
 
Leonard Cohen really hit me hard.

But then again, I lost my mom this year so all paled in comparison to her passing.

Hey, he was a great artists. That loss could still be felt a year and a half later. He was one of the greatest character-villains of all time.

His work for Hammer was terrific and he added a great deal of gravitas to the character of Saruman in the Middle-earth films.
