Top Ten Saddest Celebrity Deaths of All Time

This may sound obsessive, even crazy. But for 9 years, I have been depressed. Even when three of my family members died, I felt empty and didn't feel any remorse or sadness at all. It's as if all of the sadness I should feel for their deaths are all on Michael instead. I don't know if it has something to do with my trauma from when I was an infant. What I do know, however, is that I'll do whatever it takes to keep his memory and his legacy alive. He may be a celebrity, but to me, he's more than that. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect no matter what they're going through. Despite what the media threw at him, he remained humble and kind even after losing his only true home, Neverland Ranch, where children could play and Michael can get caught up on all of the childhood years he missed.
You'll be dearly missed Michael
R.I.P

Only him. The one and only.

Thank god there won't be anyone ike him! He was a CHILD MOLESTER!

He was the true king of pop

His death was the most saddest death. I feel for Kurt and Heath, but they died because of themselves, drugs and stupid. For music, what part of "Imagine all the people living life in peace" don't people understand.? He was a real musician, memebr of most successful Band and a peacemaker.

He was a great man. He was also a peacemaker and amazing lead singer of The Beatles, one of the greatest bands of all time following Queen. Rest In Peace John Lennon - Draco

Still the biggest loss of them all. Second is robin Williams

John Lennon's death deprived us of one of the greatest human beings who ever lived!

When a celebrity dies, most people just ignore it and go on with their lives. But when Robin Williams died, people took notice. He was an amazing person with a wonderful personality who suffered from crippling depression, as well as the beginnings of dementia and Parkinsons. But anyone who grew up in the 90's can tell you Robin Williams held a special place in our hearts.

He was a comedian. As a comedian he made millions life and made people smile, but no one realized he himself needed a little bit of that joy he gave us. When he died I couldn't believe it how could such a happy man take his own life? I have to admit I shed a few I tears I hope people will remember 80 years from now for he was an amazing man.

One of the few celebrity deaths I cried at upon hearing it. Such a great man, and one whose work I grew up on and loved with a passion. The fact that such a kind and funny man was dealing with so many awful things in life (like dementia and Parkinsons) is such a sad demonstration of how cruel the world is. RIP to a one of a kind talent. - Mrveteran

Legend

The only person whos death could have a bigger impact on me is eminem

Chester Bennington made me smile and sing along to his music since I was 4 so he definitely deserves a spot on this list. He will be truly missed forever and always.

I got very emotional over his death and I still am. After one year it still hurts. A part of my childhood died with him. He will be missed forever. - axgelique

Linkin Park gave my childhood a depth I can't express in words. In the past 12 years, it's those memories associated with Linkin Park in my head that I cherish the most. Chester's voice, whether soft or a scream, were always beautiful, energetic, passionate and revolutionary. I care, Chester. We all care...

Definitely the saddest. He had such a bright future. He never lived to see himself win an Academy award and the saddest thing is he died thinking everyone would hate his portrayal as The Joker when in reality it was one of the greatest.

I think it bothers me more that we'll never get to see him do more. The joker was arguably the best performance of all time. I hate to see that his legacy has to live on through that role, when he could have easily become the most famous actor in history if he were still alive. - ChickenKing

Wish he had lived on to do other work, being so great as the joker

Devastating. Such an absolute tragedy. Someone so young, who was just finding his momentum. I still dream about the amazing things we might've seen him in.

His death was horrible RIP

His death was not only horrible to you guys or the rest of his fans, his death was a tragedy that affected the whole world, as well as the movie industry, even the president and government were heartbroken when he was killed in an accident, he was a hero who was perhaps the best race car driver ever and did feats that no one else could ever do, and he saved a lot of people, his death put the whole movie industry towards rock bottom.

Miss you so bad Paul R.I.P.

At first I wasn't sad because I've never watched any of the Furious movies. Then I watched them one by one and I broke into tears at the end of Furious 7. His death was one of the saddest.

It hurts that I will never get to meet this great musician, Nirvana is my favorite band but it is sad that I will never get to meet the lead singer in person. Kurt was amazing but I understand that he couldn't handle being "mainstream" and he was depressed, so the only way out for him was suicide. At least he isn't suffering, but it makes me so sad that Kurt isn't in this world with us anymore. :,(

Kurt Cobain spoke for those who couldn't and he still does today. His lyrics were simple and yet deep at the same time, so many people including myself can still relate to his music. He was not a god, he was a good guy who loved to make music and share his ideas, his death only immortalised his work, contrary to the the official police report, Kurt didn't commit suicide, check it out for yourself in the documentary Soaked In Bleach, no matter what you make of his death, think about his life, his achievements his positive things. It makes me happy that someone like him actually lived. We need more people like him. Rest in peace Kurt.

U miss him so much

The god of music

He was an amazing person who had INCREDIBLE vocals. Sad to say he passed

Absolute legend, listening to queen makes me so happy and he is such an inspiration when it comes to expressing yourself and being confident in who you are. He is the first person I think of when someone says the word legend, what an icon.

Freddie Rest In Peace, You are my Legend and my motivation towards music.

Queen, The Beatles, and Michael Jackson is the creators of good music. I love Freddie Mercury.

I'm not SUCH a huge fan of Marvel, but I am quite sad that he died. - SnailPony

I am so happy about all of his life's work and I am sad he passed last night. I have always followed him in his footsteps and loved all the Marvel characters. RIP Stan Lee

I think stan lee should come in the top 3 because his whole life he got hate and was abused by his daughter and without him about 3000 of the super heros we know and love would of not exist

I thought Marvel was keeping him alive, and I am so sad that he passed away.

So sad wonder if somebody will replace him in the Decendents

sad

Disney Channel’s not very interesting anymore, but this was truly one of the saddest moments for its kind, as he was famous and known for his role on Jessie and Descendants.
What truly made this sad was that he died so unexpectedly at such a young age, at only 20.
He had a medical condition.
He will never be forgotten.
R.I.P. - Gregory

So sad he was a nice person and a great guitarist
RIP Darrell Lance Abbott

RIP DIME

Why didn't they kill her off in the movies

My family aren't fans of the Star Wars movies, so I didn't even know until January 2nd, when I went back to school. All my friends are huge fans of the Star Wars movies, so it was all they wanted to talk about. I didn't believe them, so I looked it up online later, and I almost cried. May the force be with her.

Should be number one, her loss really hit me hard, I still get sad knowing that she is not here

I miss Carrie. She was strong, a beautiful princess, a great actress and a wonderful women. May the Force be with her.

If he was still alive. Apple's newer stuff would be much better. - B1ueNew

He was one of the creative minds - iliekpiez

He wasn't done making stuff yet, and it's a shame we'll never see what was coming next.

Even though I wasn't alive at the time she was alive she is really missed by me.

Selena I miss u so much :(.

Selena had the most friendly personality. She had such an amzing voice. R.I.P Selena I miss u wish u were still here.

A beautiful and talented soul, stolen away from the music world. She had an intoxicating light that attracted everyone, and brought life into the music industry. She made me fall in love with music at the age of 7. Gone too soon.

Cliff gets my vote. Many on this list are gone because of their own stupid choices. Cliff got squished by his tour bus rolling over on him. So much promise and so much talent lost.

He played the bass unlike no one before him

Could have done so much more - TuxIsAPerson

THE BEST BASSIST IN THE WORLD HE WAS

Sadly could not reach potential - iliekpiez

I'm Afraid Of Americans For Him - Satanscurse35

I can't listen to his music anymore without getting a little teary eye his death was that bad

This man shaped my whole world. I fell in love with him when I saw The Labyrinth as a child, I was just fascinated by him. I then sought out his music, and I'm still finding new things to listen to to this day. What a library of recordings this man has. He's brought so much to so many of us, and I feel blessed that he let us love him for the alien that he was for as long as he was here. Thank you, David Bowie. My Hero.

My sister cried for days and days when she found out. He was her biggest idle. I felt so bad for her.

Probably one of the most tragic and saddest celebrities death ever. The young woman had an amazing voice and was probably an even more beautiful person. Truly got heartbroken from this. And what is also really sad is that her brother, who tried to stop the murderer had to watch his sister die before his very eyes.

One of the saddest deaths ever. She was beautiful and had an absolutely amazing voice. In my opinion, she's better than most singers nowadays. Rest In Peace, Christina. You shall always remain in our hearts.

This was a terrible tragedy that should have never happened. Imagine the career she had in front of her. But then that dream was destroyed by that piece of garbage. RIP Christina.

Screw the person who shot her. I hope he's burning in hell for such an evil deed.

If him and B.I.G. were still alive. Rap wouldn't be so hated now. RIP. - B1ueNew

He’s only popular cause he got shot

Tupac is probably the greatest rapper ever - he had an amazing way of sampling songs and was also a fantastic poet with his lyrics. He lives on in his music but I feel he would have had so much more to give had he lived on

The worst thing happened to the Rap history was Pac's death everything has changed in rap after that day admit it Eminem fans 2pac is the best and the realest

Poor guy

I am so surprised that Elvis didn’t make the top three? He was arguably the most influential music artist in history. The idea of Elvis being alone, battling addictions caused by depression was unbelievably sad. Others that deserve more recognition is Phil Hartman, Princess Diana and Whitney Houston.

He killed himself. It just took him years. So incredibly sad. No wonder so many people think he's still alive. We all just miss him so much.

He had a bright future. He was great.

Taken away too soon and she was pregnant. That idiotic Manson crook and his family had to take her away and her unborn. RIP. - B1ueNew

Why, why was she murdered, a sweet and pregnant woman. That is a death that will sure be remembered as one of the saddest ever for not only was shen pregnant but sweet over that. The murderer is just a disgusting and vile creature that should never be called human or even animal, because such murderers deserves nothing but the most painful punishment of hell.

She was murdered by the Manson family while 8 and a half months pregnant. Why isn't she on here at #1?

What a tragic end to a beautiful life. The savages killed her unborn child to boot.

This man was the center of my life, even though I had only found out about him like 3 months ago, I feel like I've known him forever, he was so caring and sweet and I'll never forget the imprint he had on my heart

I cried for almost a week when I found out he died on the show glee at first I thought that he busted left Ed the show but then I finished the episode and it said rip them I died inside he was and amazing actor and person rip Cory

The news of his death absolutely broke my heart. A great human being who had a human frailty. He tried so hard to get and stay well. One slip up after an earnest struggle caused him his life.

Probably the saddest moment in GLEE history. 'Make You Feel My Love' always gets me

This list is a popularity contest. Amy is the saddest for sure. - Amyk

I liked Amy Winehouse but don't use the word plastic pop generation. People can like whatever they want.

Amy Jade Winehouse was the one who introduced our plastic pop generation to good wholesome jazz. She was ultimately killed by the people she loved most through mental abuse and introducing her to alcohol and heroin. She didn't deserve that, Amy will live on in our hearts forever and we miss her every day, for more information watch Asif Kapadia's documentary, AMY

Every time I hear his amazing voice my heart twists. If I see him on You Tube, tears often slip. He was a great talent and it's a shame we will all miss out on what he might have graced us with in the future.

Definitely the saddest. I still cry watching anything about it

Poor poor Walt he had the best kid shows I loved Mickey Mouse when I was young.

he dead!

I loved Disney when I was a little kid

He was the best he was one of my most favorite shows growing up he was funny and was just number one

We are number 31 (hey) - Bammer73

He was Number One

Always number one.

Sad

What's worse is that she'll never even meet her own grandchildren!

Diana was the saddest everyone shared the love for her and it was not fair how she died I wish she were her this day I know I'm 11 and she died a long time before I was even born but I wish I could of meet her she was a rolemodle and now shes mine! Annabelle,11

I really miss Iwata he made some of my favorite games like Mario Zelda Kirby and smash

I remember at my family get together hearing the news about this. My dad in paticular hardly uttered another word that night, he was so saddened.

I love him so much...

I have loved him since I was 13. Will love him forever. Died to young! Had so much more to give. The greatest of all time in my opinion!

Died along Carrie Fisher on Christmas … sad

My mom name my middle name Aaliyah I was born 2001 dec 14, she die before I was born in 2001 I look just like her.

Very sad

I feel like she should be higher on this list no disrespect to others on this list before her but. I think the fact she was so young doing music and acting it just was heartbreaking to see her go so sudden. RIP ANGEL 😘

She died of plane crash - MeaganSaysHI

His death made me suicidal.

He should at least be in number 3, 2, or 1. this man created so many childhoods with using one sponge character. I heard somewhere he quit his job as a marine biologist to achieve his dreams of becoming an animator.

I LOVE HIM

I never thought this would happen, truly a masterpiece, a legend, definitely should be high. R.I.P. - SailorSedna

One of the most underrated and most musically gifted artists of his time.

He will forever live on

I heard his death when I was going to bed. I immediately broke into tears. I have to admit, that I have never watched any of his movies besides the Harry Potter ones. I cried all night. He said he was going to live to 80, but he didn't. I finally felt I was born too late. I have caught too many celebrity deaths in my 15 years life.

I honestly cried when I heard about Alan Rickman's death. He was an amazing actor, especially as Snape in the Harry Potter movies. So many people will forever remember him, and he will live forever in their hearts. RIP Alan Rickman.

A legend that will never die and never deserved to die so soon. His memory will always live on through his incredible acting! A true inspiration

I will definitely tell my children and grand children about him... Such a talent that ever lived

This should be higher up. I still remember what happened that day. I was sitting on the couch reading this really sad book and at one point my mum is just like "You know Avicii died". And I just froze, I thought that maybe it was a fake news but then when I realized it was all real I hid my face behind the book and started crying. I still miss you Tim. I'll never forget you, your song have brightened my days and I have so many good memories while sining them.

I request this to be on #1 - AlexImmortal420

He NEEDS to be on this list! - TheOneMan

The star of the movie, the crow

Sad how one death (Eddie Guerrero) can impact one man

Eddie Guerrero's death may be a tragedy but it doesn't make Chris Benoit's tragic. Benoit is a monster. - Cesium

RIP BENOIT - awesomehorror

Not sad

Such an amazing singer with a great voice. It was such a sad day when she died. It was even more sad that it was due to drugs and happened the night before the Grammy's. Her music will live on.

She is, and always will be, the best vocalist of her time

She has the best voice of all time. After she died her daughter took her own life. Sad, sad story.

No one will ever hit those high notes like you houston. - MeaganSaysHI

Honestly I disagree. Now I'm not saying he deserved it but the truth is, he only BECAME famous because of his death. - Bammer73

He truly did die too young to show his potential.

HE DIED TOO YOUNG RIP

He was good. He was only 20. Very sad RIP. - B1ueNew

Great man...I'll admit I never paid attention to him before his death but as I learned more about him, I realized what a great and amazing man he is. If the world was ruled by men like him, this world would be like paradise on Earth.

The greatest. Rest in peace.

This death should be in the top 3 at least!

That's sad. I never really cried in the moment, when I heard he passed away, but now I'm really feeling it. Sad how other celebrities are higher than the man who saved South Africa. Smh.

R.I.P. Biggie - flagfan02

The only good character in family guy is gone...

I was so shocked when he died I have the retro Batman pop figure in his honor - WWEWBMortalKombatFan

R.I.P Chuck

Marin Luther KIng was an iconic rolemodel to many people and will always be in our hearts. He was so inspiring and I just wish that he could've had longer on this earth. ='(

Really her life was not peaceful... - zuni

She was the greast girl and always had humor. Although she managed to get JFK to cheat on his wife with her

She was a whore who died of a drug overdose
