This definitely needs a Part 2
The lost Chester Bennington hits me so hard as a Linkin Park fan! Even after 7 years since his passing, he lives on through his music. RIP 💔😭
yes he does ❤❤
Phil Hartman still makes me sad getting shot by his own wife.
I think an addition to this list could be George Michael and Amy Winehouse
and robin williams
and Elvis Presley
Great ideas I would like to watch that
I wish Amy was still alive. That new movie about her made me fall in love.
You should’ve updated Jennifer Hudson’s thing. She’s now a talk show host, not a coach on The Voice.
Yeah same with Lindsay Lohan, she's now married, has just given birth and lives in the Arab Emirates. Also @watchmojo LL speaks Arabic. She turned it around amazingly ❤ shout out to her therapist x
you idiots DO realize these videos are often thought up way in advance, right?
the footage has to be edited, the narrator script has to be made, the voice-over has to be done, etc, etc..... there's a production cycle with these things, they don't just go "hey, let's make a video" and then upload said video the next day...
*you have to feel bad for the ones that past away with such trauma like Matthew, Chester, Judy, Whitney etc.💔*
Suggestions for a part 2:
Lisa ‘Left Eye’ Lopes, Choi Jin-ri aka “Sulli”, Britney Spears, Venus Williams, Serena Williams, Gordon Ramsey, Missy Elliott, James Dean and Sharon Tate.
Absolutely love Keanu. I'm glad he has kept himself together after all that has happened.
Karen Carpenter had a very sad story.
(March 2nd,1950-
February 4th,1983)
Omg, incredibly heartbreaking💔💔💔
Indeed
No mention of Macaulay Culkin? Pressure from his father to appear on more movies and taking almost all of the profits, struggle to break from drug abuse, and suffering from mental breakdowns. The dude is in much better place now, but he is prime example of how childhood acting can go wrong
That’s probably why. It was a good ending.
His father was also abusive
Absolutely
I thought the same thing
You do realize they do MULTIPLE of these? Why you expect every celebrity in one go is something I can't fathom.
Amy Winehouse, Britney Spears, Aaliyah, Dorothy Dandrige, Billie Holiday
Yeasss Billie Holiday! Dandridge and Winehouse are severely missing.
Hmm don’t know about Brit having a tragic backstory. Yes her CAREER turned tragic by the media and her family, but I don’t remember hearing her childhood being bad…
@@lessismore8533 The video discusses tragic celebrity stories in general ; it doesn’t specifically discuss tragic childhoods.
Amy's story, whilst having a tragic end, was pretty much just a predictable result of substance abuse by a weak willed person. She suffered no abuses that made her that way. She made a selfish choice to behave that way. If they made a list of all the celebrities who sadly curtailed their own lives due to such choices, it would be a wee bit longer than 20 I reckon
@@frankbrodie5168not to mention, Amy has been and always will be on lists like these. They just recycle and repost. Just wait and people will see their suggestions if they haven't already from older uploads.
A lot of people thought Matthew Perry was under the influence of something at the Friends reunion because of how he was slurring his speech. Fact is, he had gauze in his mouth due to a root canal less than 24 hours before the reunion was filmed. The slurring was him trying to not let the gauze to fall out.
That sounds horrible
Chester is such a tragedy with so much potential
So is Kelsey Grammer's😢
I hope Chester Bennington knew how many lives he saved with his music. I know it saved mine! During the worst times of my life when I was on the edge I'd put on my headphones and just cried my eyes out listening to his music and it would pull me back and keep me going for just one more day and then another and so on.
RIP 💔
I feel you here man. I still listen to Linkin park today.
🙋🏻♀️
Rest in peace to everyone featured in the video and to the people who are still alive, I salute you for going forward despite your demons and challenges.
Not many remember what tragedies Bill Bixby had to go through.
For those who might not know who he was, he was an actor who was best known for playing David Banner on the TV series The Incredible Hulk
His son Christopher died from a rare infection when he was only 6 years old
Then the following year, his ex-wife (Christopher's mother) committed suicide.
Bill died at the age of 59 from prostate cancer.
Ted Healy had some sad moments with his father dying at a young age, and he would die at the age of forty after welcoming his only child days earlier. Charlie Chaplin had a hard life with growing up poor, his father died of alcoholism, his mother had mental health issues, losing his love, losing his first child, divorcing three times and was banned from America for 20 years. Nonetheless, he ended up with a happy wife and many children.
Thanks for meaningful and valuable video as always ❤❤❤
Chester will forever be missed dearly he was an amazing mam and inspiration to people like me. I was abused by my uncle for years and LP music helped me through it. Chester is my HERO
Glen in hook was mind blowing
I miss Kurt Cobain so much. Still. And every time I hear Chester Bennington's voice I feel so sad. They both deserved so much more.
Chester Bennington left us with a musical legacy that can never be forgotten or duplicated.
Being a celebrity is more of a curse than it is a blessing, it would seem unfortunately, lol.
That is why some haters should not envy them without knowing what they went through.
No. Everyone sufferers.
This could be a whole book!
Thank you for the update, WatchMojo..!! I learn new things each day by watching WatchMojo videos..!! 🤣
❤❤Chester❤❤
Some of these people I feel sorry for, some celebrities I don't feel sorry for at all
Tupac Shakur should be on this list. Layne Staley as well.
I thought Robin Williams would be on this list, and maybe, Chris Farley.
Although I don't knoe if they had any tragic childhoods or tragic events prior to their deaths. I think that was the requirements
Who is excited to see Keanu Reeves (Neo, John Wick, Johnny Utah, John Constantine, and Jack Traven) becomes Shadow the Hedgehog in Sonic the Hedgehog 3?!
What about Amanda Bynes?. It's sad what's happened to her, had such potential.
Thank you ❤
Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston gutted me! 😢😢😢
@WatchMojo How could you not bring up Mariska Hargitay? She lost her mother Jayne Mansfield in a car accident when she was only 3 1/2 years old so tragic
Saltburn actor Barry Keoghan’s mother died of a drug overdose when he was 12 and he lived in 13 different foster homes over the course of 7 years
Oh God, how heartbreaking
They gave us enjoyment in each their own way rest peacefully now ⚘️🦋 😢
If I'm not mistaken, Roy Orbison had a wife who died in a motorcycle accident. A few years later, two sons of his died in a domestic fire. Also, he himself suffered from health issues and died of a heart attack at 52. That's pretty tragic in my book.
Why’s Bobby Brown not here? Not only did he had to witness his ex wife and two of his children dying but he even had a rough childhood as well. One example is some attempted rape at church when he was just a kid. Not to mention, when the clip of Whitney Houston said about substance abuse, Bobby stopped taking drugs and was rethinking his life choices after prison. However, when he reunited with Whitney, there were drugs at the back seat of the car. If you want to know more information, it’s from the Bobby Brown story
Besides Bobbi Christina, which other kid died. That is sad.
@@cocoaorange1 The other kid is Bobby Brown Jr. He died of opioid overdose at the age of 27
They're always pushing him aside
This list needs an automatic sequel also do 20 wrestlers with tragic stories as well great video🌹
Robin Williams should have made this list.
“You still got no children after your third marriage, you lost so many babies we should call you miss carriage!” Cleopatra
A bit of a terrible thing to repeat/propagate. Cancerous.
Matthew Perry ♥️🥺
Joe Jackson is the example of toxic parenting and what Changed Michael from his full potential from not knowing his true worth. It definitely makes it worsened when your witnessing siblings discounted your trauma they witnessed!
Yes!!
Judith Barsi deserved a spot on here.
If there's a 'Kennedy curse' it could be the belief that the rules don't apply to them - so often, they took insane risks, such as JFK Jr trying to fly to Martha's Vineyard while still an inexperienced pilot.
I always thought it was unfair that Joe Kennedy lived far longer than several if his children and made a comment to my husband and he said maybe it was God's punishment since some of the tragedies were from him pushing them into things they never wanted to do in the first place.
Montgomey clift lived a hard life
Tragedy and heart break are one the most depreciating and driving forces you will ever feel in life
What breaks my heart about MJ, is he didn't know how handsome he was before plastic surgery 😢
I feel like Chester Bennington’s music, most notably “What I’ve Done” from the 2007 _Transformers_ movie and Linkin Park’s _Minutes to Midnight_ album, was a call for help we all ignored.
Lindsay Lohan is doing great. She moved to Dubai, got married, and just had a baby boy.
There is Amy Winehouse, jane fonda, James Dean, Alan Rickman, Charlize Theron, Sandra Bullock and many more actually!
Anytime I see anything about Chester or Whitney, all I can think is, “Give them back.” But then I think is it fair to ask them to come back when they wanted to leave so much and were in such pain.
Whitney was an accident chester was a coward
Rip to these legends 🙏❤
That Video was Heartbreaking and Heartwrenching to Watch...
Surprised Amy Winehouse didn't make the list.
Jason David Frank (aka Tommy Oliver/The Green Ranger)should be in a honorable mentions.
There are so many you guys can do a Part 2 😞
I didn’t know about Glenn Close, Rose McGowan, Jennifer Hudson and Anna Nicole Smith. I knew partially of Kelsey Gramer and Marlon Brando.
Keith Morrison from Dateline NBC is Mathew Perry's stepdad, he does not seem to be a bad person at all. Why was he portrayed as a bad guy?
The really sad thing about Matthew Perry is that in his last few years, he still sounded like he was under the influence during interviews.
Keanu Reeves also has a sister who got cancer.
It takes courage to keep going in the face of pain and heartache. 😢🎉
Y’all should do a I love Lucy top 20
Fame doesn't always mean Fortune.
Chester 😔
No Britney?
Michael Jackson, Lindsey Lohan, Whitney Houston and Chester Bennington had it more harder than anyone else.
😂 What an absolute nonsense comment. How did they have it harder ?. The rest of us mere mortals should be so lucky !..
More harder? Who learned you how to spoke?
@@JP-wx8nxtaught **
@@JP-wx8nx shouldn't be talking
@@alancrisp1582 if you LOOK THEM UP like a SMART ASS U THINK U ARE. Then come back when you found that out
Billie Holiday, Macaulay Culkin, James Dean, Jean Harlow, Britney Spears, Robin Williams, Virginia Wolf, Karen Carpenter, Janis Joplin, Frida Kahlo, Jackie Robinson, Oprah, Natalie Wood, Roman Polanski, Dana Plato, Roy Orbison, Zelda Fitzgerald, Nelly, Charlize Theron, Ernest Hemingway, Jackson Pollock, 50 cent, Sylvia Plath, Dorothy Dandridge , Tennessee Williams….
What about Selena?
Bobby Brown too. He lost a lot of people he loved like Whitney Houston
It's kind of unnerving to watch The wizard of oz because the whole cast is dead and the disturbing things behind the scenes.
why not mention Robin Williams?
Marilyn monroe is my love
Oscar winning director Roman Polanski survived the holocaust and his pregnant wife was murdered by Charles Manson
It is sad he turned into a pervert, and molesting a13 year old.
And he dealt with his problems by becoming a child r*pist
There are many who are not listed who had tragic stories. Roy Orbison, was one of the rock n roll greats, In 1966, he lost his first wife in a motorbike accident and then two children in a home fire in 1968 while he was on a tour in the UK. Elvis Presley was another example, his mother died in 1958 when he was 23, then in 1973 Elvis and his wife Priscilla divorced and Elvis also had a prescription drug addiction and sadly died in 1977.
I have experienced tragedies. Losing my Paternal Grandmother before my 2nd birthday on (22/07/1986). Then Maternal Grandparents to Coronavirus in Late January 2021
Is MARVIN GAYE ON HERE??
Chester 😭
RIP to the Celebrities that was featured in the video
Michael Jackson died in a room surrounded by posters of newborn babies. He also had a laptop open on the bed (no one ever checked what was on it). No one remembers this part.
Jonathan Davis from Korn could easily be here, too. He had a horrible childhood and also had traumatic events as an adult.
Other mentions;
Shia labeouf
Dave mustaine
Will smith
Judith barsi
Dr dre
Sir Elton John
Elvis Presley
Jonathan Davis (+other Korn members), Judith Barsi?
Not to diminish any respects due to any of these, you could have mentioned any of these too:
Tony Iommi - lost his fingertips in an industrial accident
Django Reinhardt -was so badly burned he had to relearn to play his guitar with only 2 fingers
Me (the guy who invented UA-cam, Bitcoin, Disney's Frozen, John Wick, La La Land & a host of other things)- deaf by the age of 5, lost all my friends in one year (they left town) after my hearing was restored then over my university years and the start of my career we lost all of my Grandparents, my uncle and several pets including the rabbit who we got when I was 9 years old. I have IBS related depression and it took 5 years to diagnose and treat it. This is just scratching the surface.
The truth is people endure tragedies and celebrity doesn't exempt you from it.
Umm what do you MEAN you invented UA-cam? Lol…
Jean Harlow (1911-1937) was the biggest sex symbol of the 30s and an international superstar. She also had a very glamorous, short tragic life like her derivative Marilyn Monroe. Harlow had the queen of stages moms, she always had intense old timey illnesses, on of her husbands was a big shot producer who either shot himself or was killed by his OTHER wife!, she was also an alcoholic who died in her 20s in a very dramatic. UA-cam has a lot of great documentaries about her.❤
For real
Karen carpenter
Tina turner
Eric clapton
Rob pilatus
Badfinger
Ritchie valens
Charles lindburgh
Marvin gayye
Marvin Gaye
I would have loved to see 40's/50's Hollywood starlet, Barbara Payton on this list.
I was thinking Sherly Temple was going to be on here
Lindsay Lohan and Anna Nicole Smith have no business doing on this list
brandon lee was taken too soon as was Bruce ❤❤
Clars Bow
Rita Hayworth
Veronica Lake
How about the entire 90's Seattle Grunge Movement (+Scott Weiland) How many did we lose?
Remember if you are having problems in your life, there are people out there who can help. Do reach out. ❤
Can we talk about how#3s uncle may have been involved with #1s death?
Charlize Theron, who as a child witnessed her alcoholic dad's abuse on her mother, and then her mother shooting him to death in self-defence, should also be included.
also Tina Turner as a long-life victim of her husband's physical and emotional abuse
The fact Neil Peart isn't on here is a sin in it self. Dudes life was super tragic. RIP the greatest drummer to ever live.
Such a tragedy but no that's john Bonzo from zep
