I don't know about cry for days, but the death of Prince, David Bowie, and several others have made me cry. I don't know why some people find it so weird that some people get emotional over celebrity deaths.
It's the loss of someone who brought a unique talent or voice into the world, and will never be heard new again. But probably more so, particularly musicians, what they did brings memories that connects with time, places, and people they knew while those things were playing in the background. It isn't just the artist, it's everything that goes along with enjoying what they've created. If it's someone you've been listening to for most of your life, it is sort of like having your life flash before your eyes.

Not celebrities, but the bombing,of the USS Cole in Yemen 11 months less one day before 9-11. I knew one of the dead sailors pretty well, we'd worked together and he had a bright future ahead of him. Left a wife and three kids. The rest of the dead were all youngsters, junior sailors with their whole lives ahead of them, and one ensign who'd started as an enlisted man. I was out of the Navy by then, but it felt like a personal attack. 9-11 hadn't happened, terrorism for most Americans meant Oklahoma City. We were complacent.

Yeah, I’ll probably cry when the Queen dies. End of an era. Sue me.
The idea that people would cry over the death of a famous person is not new. People sometimes cry because of what that person symbolizes, not the person themselves. Robin Williams = a person who made us all laugh, while secretly feeling very sad and alone. A lot of people thought he deserved a more comfortable death after all the happiness he’d given others.
Princess Diana = I cried when I saw her two young sons walk behind her casket, and the flower arrangement with the sign, “Mummy.” I knew that was from her sons. It symbolized young kids losing the most important person in their lives. My own mother died fairly young and I remembered how devastated I felt. But they were younger still.
I’ve seen pictures of buildings in Washington draped black upon the death of Lincoln. There was a great outpouring of grief for him. He symbolized a man who gave everything to his country and was worn out, and ultimately gave his life as well. People respected his sacrifice.
Here’s probably the greatest tribute I’ve seen: a white, wealthy, privileged man, mourned by a black man of simple means, because his death symbolized the end of a champion of the working class. Someone who had worked himself to death in an effort to make his own life a little bit fairer, a champion of the poor and persecuted. A father figure to all, guiding the country through one calamity to the next, never letting go until the country was near safe harbor at last. Many Americans could remember no other President. There had always been this warm and reassuring fatherly figure keeping them safe. And that extraordinary man was gone, to be replaced by some mediocrity (Truman, as it turned out). An era was over.

I never cried at a celebrity’s death. However, Luke Perry’s passing made me sit back and think about what I’d important. I feel like I grew up watching him.

Not days on end but I cried when Diana died; it coincided with the death at 51 of a friend.
And I cried when Larry Hagman died.
That's it, and I doubt I will be shedding any more tears for celebrities.

Not cry, but certainly deeply moved and depressed hearing about Prince's senseless death.
It was like a lot of color went out of my life for a while.

Me, too, but I was 15 at the time. As an adult, no, I've never been particularly upset about a celebrity's death.

Princess Diana, for me.
And I remember as a small child(around 4 and a half) my entire family crying when Lucille Ball died. People on here and elsewhere like to be cunty about her, but she really did bring more laughter to more people than almost anyone else.

R156 Prince's death really affected me too, and I was only a casual fan until then. It coincided with my father's cancer diagnosis and watching all the Prince music videos/performances that made their way to YouTube during that time was a big distraction for me.

As a kid - Diana and Mother Theresa dying back to back was so strange. I kept thinking my mother was going to wake us up every morning afterwards with the name of a new person who had died. (I still cry watching Elton John’s performance at Diana’s funeral.)

I also felt sad for her. I think a lot of sadness was due to the fact that her son died several months before. I remember listening to a talk radio show that night and Anna's death was discussed. Several people called in and said for some reason they were saddened by her death.

My top three saddest celebrity deaths all are suicides. I was gutted when Robin Williams died. I was a child of divorce who grew up with his movies and always secretly wished he could be my step dad.
I always thought that Anthony Bourdain was incredibly sexy and was upset that he was distraught enough to take his own life. It’s incredibly sad he chose to kill himself when he had a small child who will now grow up without a father.
I was also incredibly sad about Avicii taking his own life. He was phenomenally talented and seemed like a sensitive, kind soul. I wish he had chosen a different path, he deserved more time on earth.

My Mom told me about this one. When Marilyn Monroe died, my Mom said no one could believe it. She seemed so alive and vital. How could she be dead? She said she was at a get together when the news was on TV. Some people quietly sobbed, and everywhere she went in the next few days people seemed sort of disconnected and stunned.

Unless I missed it, wasn't anyone upset that Joan Rivers passed away? I was. The only comforting aspect was that I knew she would have laughed if some psychic told her how she would die. Her joke would be, "I gagged on something in my throat? Listen, I didn't get where I am if I didn't suck on a few cocks along the way. I lost my gag relex back in the 60s."

R175 I was sad, and thought it was crazy that if she died from a medical procedure that wasn't plastic surgery. She had all those elective surgeries without a problem and then died from a routine exploratory procedure.

Another Bowie fan. The only celebrity I can think of whose death truly affected me. I didn’t “cry for days” but felt on and off teary and was genuinely sad. I still tear up sometimes now if I hear one of his songs. It’s hard to believe he’s gone.

I remember it. It was announced as a special report on TV. It was Sunday, because I was at my grandparents house. I used to go there every Sunday. My grandmother said, "Pills. They all take 'em. All of those Hollywood ones take pills to stay skinny and pills to get to sleep. Pills, pills, pills until they drop dead."

Not a death, but the thing that made me sad for the longest time, was when One Life To Live ended. I had accepted the ending of other shows, but OLTL was always mine and my family's goto show. I just never imagined that it wouldn't be there. Not being able to watch them left a void in my life. When you have watched a show for your entire life, it is strange that they are just gone. Soaps are different like that, I can be upset when a primetime show is canceled, I might even miss it, but it isn't that same feeling of loss. The characters become more than just characters, they are basically friends you invite into you home for an hour a day, five days a week, 52 weeks of every year. You follow them through all of life's ups and downs, and the characters as a result, become fully fleshed out people in a way that doesn't happen in other genres.
