They died to soon
Jump to: Newest in thread
Which famous person, actor, singer, presenter ect. Do you think would have made it really big.
Someone said something on another thread that reminded me of him so I'm going with
Richard Beckensale, think he was only 32 or 34

"Oh well if the criteria is to make it big, it's unlikely we'll have a huge number of them. Obviously didn't retain all the info on the OP."
no, I agree with you about those two, both had a great career ahead. I don't know if robin Williams would of made it much bigger.

"Nick Drake."
A very troubled and talented man, unfortunately with modern medicine he would most likely still be around :-/.
I'm going predictable but Kurt Kobain.
Although in a strange way the way he died seemed an appropriate end.
Not saying I'm happy about it, It just.... Fits. |

I consider anybody who dies at any age rust is not a natural age.
Especially in younger years is tragic.
Regardless of whether I liked them or not.
It's tragic as fuck.
Biggest one that sticks out in my mind is Jade Goodey. . That was just so sad.
And I still can't believe it.
Anybody who dies at that age is utterly, utterly tragic.
I have no preference. They are all tragic some more so than others. |

"Steven Gately tho I guess he had made it big. I forgot him as well, he was just about to debut in the west end when he died
"
I saw him in Joseph in the West End. He was pretty awful to be fair, although whenever I saw him interviewed he seemed a very nice chap.

To the exception of him.
He was asking for that for years.
Wasn't a surprise  "

Also quite surprised nobody has mentioned Paul Walker yet.
Considering the media coverage that got abd how recent it was.
Another is Paul Hunter.
Snooker player. He didn't get anywhere near as good as he would have been.
It's all tragic. Every young death is tragic. |

"Amy Winehouse, Marilyn Monroe.
Amy winehouse self inflicted.
What nonsense, the woman was ill...
 "
She was a crackhead who threw her life away.
No tears shed here.
Should've stayed in that rehab they tried to make her go to. |

"Not mentioned yet
Bruce Lee.

Massive fan of Bruce Lee, such a shame that he only just broke into Hollywood with Enter the Dragon when he died. He would've been a massive star in America, much bigger star than Jackie Chan is today. |

I predicted someone would mention Jade Goody. How can I forget? March 22nd, 2009. Mothers day. I remember crying for her two boys, Freddie and Bobby.
It was also the day that I confronted my ex, my daughters mum, about the fact that she had been seen with another man. A humongous argument ensued, and it emerged that she had been meeting men for sex during the daytime whilst I was at work and our little lass was at school. Truly a terrible day, one of the worst of my life so far. My heart went out to Jade's boys. And my own was shattered, I am still vulnerable. |

I find the jade goody case odd. Obviously the fact she was taken young by cancer was a tragedy but the was alternately vilified then demonised then beatified by the press was particularly horrific |

Jade Goody's massive intelligence and personality would surely have carved out a career from the ashes of her thick racist Big Brother personality.
Her immense likeability would've seen her become a national treasure and her talent would've seen her held in the highest regard....  |

"Just think of the 27 club. Jimi Hendrix, Amy Winehouse, Kurt Cobain to name a few, big stars fair enough but at 27 they had a massive future"
.
Ahh the tragic 27 club, I think dear old Jim Morrison was a 27er too .

Not mentioned yet....Duncan Edwards. One of the Busby babes and played for England and Manchester United, Died aged 21 in the Munich air disaster. Bobby Charlton said Duncan was the greatest player he ever played with and possibly the most skilful player he had ever seen (some going when you consider who he played alongside, such as George Best and Dennis Law, among others).

"Rik Mayall.

Can't believe it's been a year since Rik 'the people's poet' past away. Even though Ade ruled out that he and risk would work together, I always hoped there would be another bottom style series. |

I went to see Rik do three Bottom live shows and The New Statesman comeback in Bromley a few years back. I honestly cannot remember many times in my life I have felt quite so content as sitting there watching him and Ade on stage.
Oh, and I can probably quote all 3 seasons of Bottom word for word...  |

"Folk that died too young in my book are those in accidents etc those taking drugs self inflicted so they decided their time was up.
Not true at all"
Yes it is true, if you overdose on drugs because you're too high to know what you're doing that's your fault.
Getting cancer, not your fault.
Driving safely and being hit by another road user,not your fault.
Getting shot by someone who doesn't like what you're saying, not your fault.
You see what I'm saying here? |

Oddly reading this thread while watching one of the autopsy series. This one's about Marilyn Monroe. It's sad actually when you see how badly these people on the series where let down by people supposedly so close to them. |

if a person overdoses on purpose then its suicide..if its done unintentional then its a tragic accident and not the fault of the person who died getting wasted on recreational drugs..its stupid but a person don't deserve to die for it |

I'd say JFK or Martin Luther King but without their deaths change might not have come. Most of the names mentioned were big and some of them had reached the pinnacle of their career so it's good not to see them produce albums or films that were below par. Also sorry but people who take drugs know there is a chance of an overdose so they have a choice not to take them. Its not tragic, it's a waste if you ask me as think what they might have been able to create without being stoned?
For me I wonder what Metallica would have been like if Cliff Burton hadn't died? |

"Raheem Sterling,,ok he's not dead but might well be if Liverpool fans get hold of the greedy little fucker  "
He seriously needs to sack his agent.
His agent is a twat and has ruined what he had.
I'm not a Liverpool fan but the whole thing has turned into a right shit storm. |

It's only a waste if you don't do something positive with your time!.
As for being stoned, well name me a decent band who produced anything good, who weren't stoned on something or other!

Really? Addiction is weak people who let themselves lose control.
Terminal illnesses like cancer just happen sometimes.
Completely different.
A 6 year old girl with leukaemia, that's a tragic loss of life she didn't deserve that.
A grown woman who has her familys support and a promising career CHOOSING to walk out of rehabilitation and go back to drug usage then overdosing is not tragic, it's idiocy.
Excuse me if I don't shed a tear. |

I used to write songs and get it, best songs I wrote were when I'd had a spliff. I'm not saying they should be clean but perhaps their managers, agents and record labels should have done more to keep them off harder stuff?
