I’ve never even been sad. I don’t know them so why would I be? I’ve gotten a weird feeling like “damn xyz celebrity is actually dead. That’s weird.” And that only comes with the unexpected ones like Kobe, etc. But never felt anything remotely close to sad about it.

I recall being taken aback by the image of Jackson's dead body lying on a stretcher under a white sheet broadcast on cable news the day he passed. Jackson was a larger-than-life celebrity, the King of Pop, and there he was, deceased, just a body on a board. It was surreal.
As someone who was born well after Thriller came out and has no living memory of Jackson being anything other than a punchline (I suppose I should remember people liking him during the Dangerous era, I just don't), Jackson's death was always inevitable in my eyes.
He was well passed the stage of self-destruction by the early 2000s.

Phil Hartman was a sudden and awful one.

As a kid Rebecca Schaefer (My Sister Sam) getting murdered. Really bothered me for days.
John Prine.
Chris Cornell.
No crying. Just ruined my whole day.
Eric Clapton will bother me. And if Eddie Vedder dies, I may choke up. DGAF who knows.

I wasn't in the best frame of mind when I first heard Mary Tyler Moore had died, and shed a couple of tears. It was on the tail end of a two-week business trip and I was missing my family and home when it came on the news in the lonely hotel room.

Got a little misty eyed over Kobe, but it was moreso my own emotion being a Daddy of 2 daughters, and hearing that he and his daughter died together. Tragic

Age has much to do with how one viewed Jackson, I suppose. I was roughly 7-years-old when Thriller was released. As a child, it seemed to me Jackson was the be-all, end-all of entertainment.
It's not unlike how older folks romanticize Elvis Presley while kids today see him as some fat guy in a shiny jumpsuit.

Never cried, but was seriously bummed out when Neil Peart died...

I cried after the Crocodile Hunter died. I was like 12 though

Yes. Rest in power, Harambe.

My mom cried during Kobe’s funeral

I've been bummed out by some of the suicides. Robin Williams for one. Always hard seeing somebody lose to depression.

I didn't cry but I felt really bummed and had a lump in my throat when Alex Trebek died

I cried over Old Yeller when I was six.
That's about as close as I get to caring about celebs. Real or fake.

That’s totally understandable because you’re watching a funeral where emotional tributes are being made and moving eulogies with crying family members and friends. I get that all day long.

When Bramblett passed I went back and listened to his calls from the 2013 DSOR and Iron Bowl and teared up a bit.

Him and Merle Haggard got me down.
Oh, and Bear Bryant. Kidding. And I've never cried at the death of someone I didn't know personally. And only 3 times at that.
