This goes out to all the celebrities that have died.

Wow, it's just too much. It's really sad.
1) Michael Jackson: my favorite artist of all time. I grew up on his Dangerous album, listening to Black or White, Who Is It, and Heal the World. His death was probably the darkest, most depressive time of my life. I cried for over 3 months. I don't think I'll ever forget June 25, 2009. But he lives on through his music.
2) John Lennon: He was an amazing artist and a great person. I didn't become a fan of him until some time after Michael Jackson's death. I first saw the video for "Say Say Say" when they were doing all of Michael's videos after he died. Then I became interested in Paul McCartney, which led to research of the Beatles, which led to my current love and obsession with John Winston Lennon. I know I wasn't even alive when he died on December 8, 1980, but if it's anything like Michael Jackson's death, then I know how his fans must have felt.
3) George Harrison: a former member of the Beatles, who died from cancer which is horrible. I love him as a part of the Beatles, but I never really listened to his solo music. RIP.
4) Tupac: I watched 100 Most Shocking Moments in Music, and and Pac's death was on the list. It was horrible. I don't remember his death, because I was too young, but it's still sad to think about. He was an amazing rapper with deep lyrics and he was only 25.
5) Biggie: I especially love Big Poppa! Like Pac, I don't remember when he died, but it's still sad to know that someone who was only 24 had to go out like that. RIP Biggie Smalls.
6) Aaliyah: Even though this was like in 2002, I think I do remember when she died, and all the fuss it created. I remember seeing all her videos on tv and it being on the news and everything. It was horrible to know someone so young died in a plane crash, not only because of a drunk pilot, but also because the load was too heavy. RIP Aaliyah. She was an amazing artist.
7) Gary Coleman: he just died a few hours ago, as of May 28, 2010, 3:30 pm. It's really sad to come back from school and find out that he died from a brain hemorrhage. He was only 42. I'm not gonna pretend I was a huge fan, but I did like Diff'rent Strokes, and if marathons come on as a tribute, I'll watch a lot of the episodes. It's really sad. RIP Gary Coleman. :(

I know I'm missing a shit load of people, but I've got things to do, and I covered the ones I could think of for now. Rest in peace.
