If you hear about the death of a celebrity that is a idol of you, have you ever actually cried?

Question

I certainly did when Gê Korsten died, don't even want ot think how i would feel if my biggest idol is not around.........it's just a question, i know it can't be compared to losing a loved one

Answer 1

Yes, when Freddie Mercury of Queen died, I was devastated!

Answer 2

really the only celebrities that i consider idols of mine are ellen degeneres, christina aguilera, and tyra banks and none of them are dead... but i have cried about a few celebs being dead (aaliya, anna nicole, left eye) not because i was sad about them in particular being gone, just because i was sad that anybody had to leave this world too young too quick like they did.

Answer 3

No.

There is too much of this sort of thing, in fact. Look at that ridiculous to-do over the death of Princess Diana; degrading, vulgar display of transatlantic pseudo-emotion.

Edit - Lise, I don't mean you can't feel unhappy about something - I only mean that it is a little bit much to make such a meal out of it!

Answer 4

yes i cried when Princess Diana died then, then just last week my local favorite actor here in the phils. died of cancer

i cried he is a good man and a good actor that will remind to every heart of my fellow country men. I am just a human that can feel sadness when someone passed away..

Answer 5

Nope, never.

Answer 6

I guess it depends on how you define celebrity. Movie stars - no. Terry Fox, Nkosi Johnson, Princess Diana, Pierre Elliot Trudeau - yes. Have to admit losing Oscar Peterson was a very sad day though - he was one super jazz musician.

Answer 7

Yes I cried when Steve Irwin  aka The Crocodile Hunter past away. He was great with animals and an inspiration to people whom love animals just as much as him.

Answer 8

yep, I do not cry but feel sad for some times. Like the death of Lucky Dube, still worries me. And for south african celebrities, they die unnecessarily.

Answer 9

Only when Jim Morrison, of the Doors, died,

the son of a ****** owed me two hundred dollars.

Answer 10

I think I cried when Princess Diana died, but I was still in Primary school that time. Does that count?

However after that I have never cried for a celebrity. I did felt very sad though when Ashley Callie died, I always thought she was one of those actors that had Hollwood potential. . .

Answer 11

No but I did feel bad when Diana died and when Christopher Reeve broke his neck.

Answer 12

I felt sad about River Phoenix ... and that South African Actress that died recently. But I didnt cry ... I probably would if I went to the funeral.

I cried about that girl who died in Pretoria though (the vodacom meercat dancer) I cant remember her name.

Answer 13

I've cried over quite a few musicians.Luther Vandross,  Lebo Mathosa, Aaliya, Vuyo Mokoena to name a few.
