The one that hit me the most was John Lennon. A huge Beatles fan and John was always my hero. I was totally stunned.
Like many others on this thread was totally stunned by the death of Di. I was out on the saturday night and woke up the Sunday Morning a little worse for wear putting the TV on and gradually realising the piece about Diana was talking about her in the past tense.

I’m never that fussed about celebrity deaths, though it’s fair to say that Sean Lock dying the other day had an impact.Follow the Hibs podcast, Longbangers, on Twitter (@longbangers)

Elvis was the first major one I remember. When Diana died I was in bed pissed after a major all day and night session, the missus came in and shouted “Diana’s dead”. I jumped up and was in shock for a minute as the last guy I had left the night before had a wife called Diana and I instantly thought it was her!

Normally celebrity deaths don’t impact on me, some are a bit of a shock but none have ever stopped me in my tracks like I did when I heard that Chester Bennington had killed himself.
I absolutely loved Linkin Park when I was a teenager and still do to this day so I was stunned when I heard about this. He was only about 7/8 years older than I am and had four kids so to hear that he not only died but did it himself was incredibly sad and made me genuinely upset

I was shocked when I heard Chris Cornell had died, he had just got back on the road gigging, seemingly looking happy he took his own life but his wife filed a law suit against his doctor for prescribing drugs that affected the singers state of mind and contributed to his death, they settled out of court.

In my younger years the deaths of Elvis and John Wayne were notable because of the impact on family members. The 9 year old me had seen Elvis movies but my dad was a big fan. Similarly I had a grandad who grew up on cowboy films.
Personally the first death of a personality that made me properly look up was Rik Mayall coming as it did shortly after Mel Smith.
