Rest In Peace to those that passed away.

Every time I hear Selena’s “I Could Fall in Love”, I can’t stop the tears from forming in my eyes

[Demaad]

If you notice, Watchmojo doesn’t put rankings this list. I assume it’s out of respect for the deceased because it would very wrong to rank real life deaths of innocent people

I still hate we lost Christina Grimmie so soon. She was truly a good-hearted person.

These fans have NO right to kill celebrities.
RIP to every celebrity who passed away due to a tragedy.

[jetodessa]

The word 'fan' is short for 'fanatic' remember that

[rosemusic]

RIP to those that passed away. Celebrities being in the public, unfortunately, there are crazy and obsessed fans out there. Some of these deaths could have been prevented with more security. Celebrities need extra protection now. Fans love to post everything including the location of these celebrities on social media.

People can say what they like about Yoko Ono, and accuse her of breaking up the Beatles.

But she is the reason Chapman remains in jail, as she writes a letter to the parole board every time he is up for parole, telling of her heartache and begging for Chapman to never be realised, and so far, they haven't released him.

Andre Escobar’s story is such an interesting one. With all the violence and drugs going on in that country, along with all the Pablo Escobar (who ironically enough was also the owner of the Colombian Soccer team and had a relationship with Andres Escobar and the entire team).

[anxiousgemini]

I do consider myself "obsessed" with some celebs, but I could never imagine hurting them or even killing them. That means they would be gone. I know they have other fans, they would be devastated. But I know severe mental illness takes over and there is no rationale.
RIP to anyone who was taken too soon.
(I also appreciate the "Hamilton" throw in. nother thing I'm obsessed with)

Toxic fandom is a horrible thing, honestly.

Dimebag Darrell was shot by a former fan while playing on stage on December 8 2004

[yourwatcher]

Who watched the movie 'Selena' starring Jennifer Lopez
I watched it and it was a good movie!!!

[DryBones]

If you'er a singer, and your singing gives the listener shivers, I think you have a good voice.

[ARIXANDRE]

The cowardly way we lost John Lennon just bums me out. It hurts to even go back and watch his interviews.

[Aurorak-il]

I would never do that towards hundreds of people I love and admire.

[colonelhstinkmeaner]

Andres Escobar was assassinated by some narco's hitman because Colombia was the favorite to win the game. The Narco was pissed because he lost a bet that's why he was killed.

I was really lucky to see Christina Grimme live at a Selena Gomez concert in 2011. She was so talented and so loved. Rest In Peace my love 💚
