I'd have to agree with you there. Her death was really tragic. It would be cool to have her around still, and I can't even imagine how big she would have gotten had she not died.I think we covered Tupac and Biggie.
But what about Aaliyah ^^

You forgot Proof brother. R.I.P to all. But my their music live on...
JUST JAMAL MATHEWS!!!!!
Dead celebritys become more famous, when they've pasted on. They gather more attention and fans, even while their beneath the grave. It would of been nice to see Tupac and Snoop, do a tune in this modern age. Image how big that would of been...Oh well...

Yeah, but everything happens for a reason. It would have been a glorious age indeed if these people would still be alive. But we all got to pass on someday. We'll just let them rest in peace and remember them through there songs.
Barry White as well! God rest his soul.

DIME!
Oh...

GOD!
You just posted my favorite deceased celebrity!
I had the opportunity to meet the late Dimebag Darrell only eight months before he was killed. That dude meant so much to me, as did his music, because if it weren't for him and his killer riffs, I would not be playing guitar today.
I remember I was in a heavy metal chatroom on December 8th, 2004, when I heard about Dimebag Darrell's death. At first, I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I said to myself, "This can't be real...this can't be real...please, let this be just a stupid Internet rumor or a horrible nightmare..." The next morning, I had it on my local rock station, and they confirmed it. I was in total disbelief. In total disbelief and outraged that one of rock and metal's most beloved and most outgoing and friendly figures would be killed in such cold blood the way he was. Dimebag always had a way of making you laugh, even if you were in thetiest of moods. He'd always put a smile on your face, no matter what. He'd even play practical jokes with you in the form of fireworks, and you'd go home with a big-ass smile on your face.
He was not at all your typical rock star. When you met Dime, you weren't just getting an autograph and a "thank you, have a nice day." Not at all. You and him would get drunk together. He'd get you a tattoo. He'd give you the face paint of your favorite member of KISS. He'd dye the bottom of your goatee red. He'd play with fireworks with you. He'd just flat-out raise hell with you. He'd even turn just a meet-and-greet autograph session into one huge party. He even owned a strip club in the Dallas area, and he wouldn't just sit in the VIP section; he'd mingle with all the customers there. In fact, I remember reading about an instance where he was holding some sort of guitar clinic at this guitar shop, and the last person to leave was this kid. He asked him, "How long have you been playing?", to which the kid replied, "actually, I don't. I want a guitar for Christmas this year, but can't afford one, because my dad just lost his job." Dime immediately spoke with the manager of the place, and cut a deal to buy a guitar and an amp, and handed them to the kid, and said, "Merry Christmas, buddy! Start practicing, because the next time we meet, you and I are jamming together!"
And for some jerk to just wipe such a wonderful human being off the face of this earth the way he did, was just outright despicable. Coincidentally, Dimebag was killed on the 24 year anniversary of the assassination of John Lennon.

This guy....
I grew up watching Steve Irwin and was pretty devistated when I heard he was gone
Others would include John Lennon, George Harrison and Syd Barret. That's all I can think of at present :rolleyes2
bruce lee i so wish i was his son i would kick ass all the time hehehe xD
Steve Irwin
Jimi Hendrix
Freddie Mercury
Elvis Presley
Marilyn Monroe
Marlon Brando
Graham Chapman
Ronald Reagan
And of course, Boris Yeltsin
Allow me to add Christopher Reeve's to my list. It was bad enough to hear about Superman being paralyzed as a kid, but to see him die when he could have had a lot of years left. He did a lot of great things in this world before he went, and did one of the few celebrities I truly admire and look up to as a hero (for more reasons than him playing Superman).
I work at SeaWorld, so when we heard that Steve Irwin died, that's pretty much all we ever talked about for weeks. That dude played with death his whole career. At least he had the guts that most of us don't have.This guy....
