2021 was pretty shocking for deaths to even begin with.
"The Cherished voice of the most beloved animated classics of all time" one of the biggest legends in the voice acting world passed away at age 81. He shaped my and everyone elses childhood. His voice will be a voice you'll never forget
Mark Elliott (1939-2021)
This man was the voice of my childhood. I grew up watching Disney movies on VHS and DVD, and this guy's golden voice was all over the trailers and the bumpers of those releases. RIP Mark. Say hi to Don LaFontaine

The longtime man who interviewed the world for over 60 years from radio to news prints, internet, pop culture & even 25 years on CNN's The Larry King Live Show (which made it the longest-running talk show with a single host at the same time), passed away at 87 because of COVID-19. He was truly the greatest interviewer & talk show host that ever lived. He will never be replaced. His name was King for a reason. R.I.P.

Among the greatest baseball players of the generation. He was 87. R.I.P.

Fun Fact; Christopher Plummer's biggest regret was turning down the role of Gandalf in Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings Franchise.

Illustrator of the Grouchy Ladybug, the Very Hungry Caterpillar & many other children's books had kidney failure. He was 91. R.I.P.

The news broke of his death from COPD which he battled for years. He played Frieza, Dragon Ball's & anime's most iconic villain. He lost a battle of COPD on October 18th at 56. He had it since 2017. The news is definitely among the most shocking of a public death this year & has impacted all of the anime & acting community. He worked there for nearly 20 years. Entertainment will never be the same this should definitely be on the top 3. R.I.P.
Worlds best voice.

This was such a shocking death of an actor, known for playing Sam "Screech" Powers from Saved by the Bell & every spin off. He lost his battle to Stage IV lung cancer at 44. He was the G.O.A.T. of actors in the series & franchise. R.I.P.
He was very funny on Saved By The Bell.

Known for playing old lady Muriel Bagge in Courage the Cowardly Dog. She was 81. R.I.P.

Lou Grant from the Mary Tyler Moore show & Carl Fredricksen, the main character in Up. He passed away from natural causes 1 year 1 day after Chadwick Boseman did from cancer. He was 91. R.I.P. to a legend that entertained people of all ages.
I liked his voice acting performance in Up!


Known for That 70's Show, Charlie's Angels & James Bond: A View to Kill as well as participating in Miss Universe, she collapsed on Christmas Eve 2020 & was diagnosed with cardiac arrest 11 days before her death. She was 65. R.I.P.


A truly shocking death for anyone in 2021 and in general. She fused multiple EDM & pop genres together to create hyperpop. It helped contribute to the modern music from almost every artist today including Charli XCX, Kim Petras, Rita Ora, Sam Smith & many more. Even Madonna was influenced by her & her song B**** I'm Madonna used Sophie's hyperpop genre. Hyperpop was even used by BTS & Blackpink which huge fandoms really love. R.I.P. to the creator of almost all of the 2010's & today's music. - StevenUni108.
This death hit us harder than any other from a musician since that of Avicii or even Michael Jackson. She mixed techno, trance & other forms of EDM with pop to create the microgenre hyperpop. It paved the way for songs by artists such as A.G. Cook, Charli XCX, Slayyyter, Kim Petras, Rita Ora & many more. She fell off her roof while trying to get a better view of the Moon from up there. She was the partner for Charli XCX & worked with her on her songs. Now Charli has no one big & important to work with so she practically lost all hope. What further makes this shocking was that this started the Twitter hashtag trend #HereForCharli which TikTok Queen Charli D'Amelio mistook for herself & got backlash over, prompting Trisha Paytas to call her out in a way that would involve ending her TikTok era. The music & general world lost a literal legend that'll never ever be replaced or compared to & music will never ever be the same again. January ended with a horrible tragedy going down in ...more
Such a shocking death. The world lost a literal legend and heaven gained an angel. The trans queen of pop. R.I.P. Sophie 1986-2021.
Such an influential figure in modern music. I don't think I can imagine the music industry without her.



Actress & model Nikki Grahame passed away on April 9th from anorexia the same day Prince Philip (the Duke of Edinburg) & DMX passed away. She was only 38. The modeling industry lost an important member (yet among the shortest - at only ~5'1"). This shows us anorexia should be taken seriously & should stop being promoted for any reason. April 2021 has really been turning out devastating & so has much of 2021 & the 2020's. R.I.P. Nikki 1982-2021.
ONLY 38?! From anorexia?! Just goes to show how toxic the modelling industry is.

All these people died in 2021?

How is he on #17? I want to see him on the top 5. He was a legend and I even heard his music at a Dallas Mavericks game one day before his death... on my birthday. I was also a big fan of him before he died.
Can't believe he overdosed on drugs. He had a heart attack following it. He was 50. R.I.P.
Not much into hip hop but dang this is a pretty heavy loss...Only 50...

The man who helped in politics in bringing Donald Trump into the political world & showed love toward the American constitution & raised money for leukemia research just lost his battle to lung cancer at 70. He was the greatest American political radio show host of all time. Just like how Larry King was the greatest interviewer of all time. Both changed the world in revolutionary ways you couldn't imagine. Yet both sadly had a history of smoking. R.I.P.
Just found out this morning. Fly high Rush!
He also appeared in one Family Guy episode!
