This answers the title rather than the detail of the question, but the Labour leader John Smith's death in 1994 really affected me at the time.
I grew up with Labour parents under a Conservative Government and in John Smith I thought that finally Britain had a left wing statesman that the electorate would vote for. He was considered a man of integrity - decent and honest, and respected by politicians on both sides of the House. I honestly went around for days feeling like it was all a cruel joke and someone, somewhere was laughing up their sleeve at those of us who felt we were living in a single party state. I suppose it affected me more than a celebrity death because he genuinely had the opportunity to make a difference to my life when he was alive. In the end we only had to wait another 3 years, but even now it seems a shame that we lost the chance to have this man as our Prime Minister. |

And even after waiting 3 years we got a tory in a red shirt.
I was personally quite upset when Robin Cook died. I think he was a real loss. Mo Mowlem too.....and I know I'll cry when Tony Benn dies. |

Welcome to The Cellar, Whoopteedo.
I heard yesterday that Butch from Our Gang died the week before Don Adams. Not a "bummed me out the most," but certainly indications of the passing of an era.

I was a big fan of Nipsey Russell back in my youth. Funny, funny man. Keep 'em laughin' upstairs, Nipsey!
Nipsey was dyslexic Now he stands in Heaven's fog. No wonder the boss is kinda pissed Nipsey always prayed to Dog.

Just to mark the passing of Ronnie Barker. The Frost Report, The Two Ronnies, Porridge, Open All Hours. An inspiration to many of my comedy favourites and a mainstay of my childhood weekend television.
Died this week at 76. |

Layne Staley (lead singer of Alice In Chains) is probably the celebrity death that hit me hardest. Kurt Cobain's was no surprise, nor was Johnny Cash's. Staley's shouldn't have been either, given his history of drug use. But it totally caught me off-guard. What a loss...and what a waste.
