For me it was Cheater Bennington. Linkin Park music helped me through some hard times and I know some of the more impactful lyrics came from him and what he experienced.

Knowing he couldn’t take it anymore definitely hit Me hard particularly as someone I looked up to from young age …

Who was yours ?

    For some reason Heath Ledger. I loved the movie A Knights Tale as a kid. Watched it many times.

    I think it was the first real celebrity death that I conciously experienced.

      Same here. I loved A Knight’s Tale and 10 Things I Hate About You so much and I watched it many times a as kid. My then sister in law told me about the news and I didn’t believe her until I heard the news on the radio.
