I am compiling a list of famous, well loved people who died prematurely. I know it sounds a little morbid but all will be revealed down the track. Can anybody suggest any names of dearly departed famous people who died before their time?

Examples are;

Buddy Holly

Jim Reeves

Mark Bolan

John Lennon

Steve Biko

I would prefer the names of famous, well admired people rather than such fiends as Hitler and Harold Shipman and Tony Blair. Can you name a few?

Thanks for looking at this thread, Andrea

 

Is he any relation to Marc Bolan, the pop star?

 

Re: Stars who died prematurely.

Freddie Mercury

Kirk Cobain

Colin McCrea

 

The lesser known cousin of Kurt Cobain?

 

If we are doing Sheffield only, then perhaps Marti Caine would be a good start?

 

Other famous people who died young I can think of only recently, are such as Jacko, Heath Ledger, Natasha Richardson.. Susan Tsvangarai, the wife of the Zimbabwean politician...

 

Christopher Reeve and his wife Dana. Tom Hurndall and Rachael Corrie.

and if Mama Cass had shared her sandwich with Karen Carpenter, they'd both still be here.
