Just watching The Specials and watching Terry Hall filled me with tears, my hero. Any other celebrity deaths that have really affected you?

I was talking to her on Twitter about her cat without realising who she was. What a lovely woman she was.

I'm guessing it's Kirsy Mccoll who is being referred to?

Ayrton and Kirsty.
You mean Kirstie Alley? Yeah that was a shock. I didn;'t realise she was that old either.

We had Lemmy, Alan Rickman, Bowie and Prince all dying within 5 months of each other and of course George Michael later that year.

Agree with Ayrton Senna.
Seeing it unfold live on TV was punch in the gut and was a bleak reminder of just how dangerous motor racing is.

Ray Liotta was another chocker. Really liked Ray.

Oddly, I saw the exact same thread on Facebook today.
Then, as now, I was surprised no one said John Lennon or Elvis Presley.

And justice was never served because of family connections of the cսnt who killed her.
That's fucking terrible, how do you move on from that? but I suppose you have to at some point.

Mad to think we used to do a Celebrity Death sweepstake at work back in the day. Don't think that would go down too well these days, given how soppy everyone is.
Seem to remember someone cleaned up on Steve Irwin.

Russ - If a set list had the likes of Randall, Dr S Gachet and Mickey Finn on, you know it's gonna be a good night.
Indeed mate. Gachet another of my favourites.

I think about what happened to her quite regularly. No idea why really as I wasn't an enormous fan, though I liked her, but just terrible.
Didn't she put herself in harm's way to save her child?
Yep, got ripped apart pulling her kid out of the way of a boat, in a designated non boating area, while they were scuba diving off the coast of Mexico.

Tommy Cooper. Possibly because I was so young at the time and I hadn't thought about death.
Just like that?

Sorry but anyone who gets teary eyed over someone they have never met dying is a bit ermmmm you know 'Fik' or 'Speshial'
Get a life, there is no way anyone can tell me that someone who they never met 'affected' them enough, the only celebrity who would of touched you in a way you wouldn't forget is Jimmy Saville

Was a bit gutted when Roger Moore died as a big childhood hero as Bond. When Seve died it was sad. And wait for it..Maradona, say what you want but I preferred having him above ground. And David Bowie.
Maradona hit me hard too which was surprising because I wasn't a huge fan or anything. I grew up in the 80's and he was the first global phenom I can remember watching.

Keith Chegwin was a big shock.
I was hoping for a return of Naked Jungle.

George Alagiah. Seemed a lovely bloke and for some reason I took an interest in his bowel cancer struggle from the start. Then got a similar diagnosis myself. And then he died - that was quite emotional for me even though I never met the man

Bob Crow!
An old footballing team mate of mine!
He was a god to me.....he use to tell me stories of how he would bring an old dog back to his home, so he would rest his bollocks on her head and he would wank himself off whilst she licked his cսnt (his words not mine) and that's why I worshiped the ground he walked on!
RIP Skipper and Comrade xx
You set the bar high for hero worship.
