*MJ and Farrah passing away on the same day is crazy to still look back on.*

0:42 that’s John Quincy Adams, not John Adams.

[TJGrant]

Suprised they forgot Sammy Davis Jr and Jim Henson

For anybody wondering, the man in the fox face paint was Eric Carr. And he wasn’t just a drummer for KISS. He was the most beloved of their members. He was so kind, and was an absolute monster on the drums, sending his band into the 80’s with thunder and attitude in the stead of Peter Criss. He died from cancer way too young. But his death was completely overshadowed by Freddie’s. Rest in peace to both.

JFK, CS Lewis, and Aldous Huxley all died on November 22, 1963.
Famed directors Ingmar Bergman and Michaelangelo Antonioni both also died on the same day (July 30, 2007).
Mother-daughter duo Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher died only 1 day apart (Carrie died on December 27, 2016 and her mom the next day).

When MJ passed away, everyone noticed. 🎉

Thank you for putting Eric Carr on this video. He shouldn't be forgotten. He was the best drummer KISS ever had and a really nice guy if like me you were lucky enough to meet him. Both him and Freddie were big losses in Rock that day

Eric Carr .... oh man. I remember hearing about it on MTV News. What a talent !

[Flux-Edits]

That photo isnt of the first john adams, its actually of Quincy adams!

[trinaq]

I remember hearing that Michael Jackson had died on the same day as Farrah Fawcett. Unfortunately, the latter tended to be overshadowed by the former.

[tvtimetravel]

What about Jim Henson and Sammy Davis Jr. (May 16, 1990)?

[Jeremiah_Rivers]

I already knew about John Adams and Thomas Jefferson sharing the same death date, but that doesn’t diminish their legacies in any way.

[CandiceVidito]

Wow those are some coincidences. And I still miss Alan Rickman.

[mbbarnes]

Hey watchmojo.
You should’ve added to the number 1 event.

ED MCMAHON
the longtime announcer for Johnny Carson also died the same day as Michael Jackson and Farah fawcett

[brickcitybrownchick]

The deaths of Freddie Mercury and Michael Jackson broke my heart. Both insanely talented, and both gone too soon.

[AdriR]

I had a feeling Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett would be #1.
June 25th, 2009 still seems like it was the other day... a sad day indeed 😢

[racheldavin]

Ed McMahon died the same day MJ & Farrah Fawcett did.

Also, JFK, Aldous Huxley (who wrote "Brave New World"), & C.S. Lewis (who wrote The Chronicles of Narnia) all died on the same day.

I saw Queen on what turned out to be their last US tour. Best concert I ever saw, and I saw some really good ones.
