Performers Who Died In Front Of Their Audiences

- There are plenty of artists who might want to do what they love until the day they die, but dying in the middle of a performance is not the way most people want to go out. Even if the performer quickly finds peace, the audience will be thrown into a state of confusion and horror, and they might just assume it’s part of the act at first. Sadly, all of these performers died right in the middle of the show, and many of them were quite young when they did it. Let’s take a look at some performers who died in front of their audiences.

Which of these stars do you miss the most?
Grunge Tommy copper he was a legend
The dimebag guitar meister of course!
My fantasy girlfriend Barbara Weldens. Such a beautiful Aries woman.
My good friend from here in San Diego "THE ULTIMATE ENTERTAINER"... "THE KING, of the KING of BEERS" (drummer of The Beat Farmers) but when he came out for vocals... COUNTRY DICK MONTANA A man with the deepest voice next to Johnny Cash. NOBODY can cover a Cash song (or Kenny Rodgers one here) like DICK could. (check him out here.I was at this show as I was 100's of others)ua-cam.com/video/GQecP8H9xMk/v-deo.html
Dimebag Diamond Darrell and Nick Menza, as i love their music 🎸 🥁 🎶 but Rip to each and every one of them.. ➕ :)
A shout out to Christina Grimmie as well. Shot in front of her fans. Too young and extremely talented. R.I.P.
Who?
@@warrengauthier4699 a UA-cam star who got shot after a concert back in 2016 (kinda like dimebag)
@@warrengauthier4699she was a singer and songwriter who got her start as a cover artist on UA-cam. Wonderful voice.
American idol I think or AGT but she was truly an amazing talent 😢
Aww that poor girl 😢
Don’t forget Johnny “Guitar” Watson. In 1996, he collapsed and died on stage, during the first song, at a blues club in Yokohama, Japan. I was only 6 feet away from him. R.I.P, Johnny.
RIP Dimebag Darrell, my favourite guitarist ever👍And also to his brother Vinnie Paul, one of the greatest musicians to ever grace a set of drums 🤘
Pantera put on epic shows
R.I.P. NICK MENZA. I remember the day he died like it was yesterday, I was walking home from school when I saw the news show up on my phone. As soon as I got home I collapsed in my room just crying and I didn't even know Nick personally. He was and still is my drumming hero. Such a talented soul gone too soon.
I did that with Chester Bennington. My mum told me and I was like, "No, that's not true. It can't be." And I ran upstairs and checked the news and just cried and cried. His death hit me like a brick. So I understand the feelings you had. We don't know these performers but they did mean a lot to us in one way or another and it's okay to be emotional and cry about it.
The background music is way too cheery for this video
Really??? thats what's bothering you???😂😂😂
Ron Jean-Pierre It makes sense. The contrast makes this video kinda akward to watch.
I agree
You ever heard of "The Second Line"?
Gotta love that copyright free music
These guys actually died doing what they love most. May they rest in peace
Not Owen. He was getting prepared to leave wrestling and become a fire fighter back in Canada, so he could spend more time doing what he really loved, spending time with his family. He was sickened with the business after what happened to his brother, and petreified of heights. His death was tragic in every way. 30 fucking 4.
@@mr.anonymous5501 RIP Always remember that with my brothers watching wrestling. We thought it wasn't real when it happened. Awful tragic.
rust in piece
Just some Bigfoot With access to the internet Rust in peace lol like they were old hammers or spoons.
Victor Nwokoro Now you know they probably aren’t RESTING IN PEACE ! Most of them dropped dead because all those drugs destroyed their heart!
This just made Tiny Tim even creepier for me just when I didn't think that was possible.
In 1996, opera singer Richard Versalle died on stage at the Metropolitan Opera during the company's première performance of The Makropulos Case. He collapsed right after singing the line, "Too bad you can live only so long." No joke...
Take it easy Dime, We STILL miss you.
@@herbtenderson7335 he died 14 years ago
I know man. I still can't believe it sometimes. Dime was a fucking monster, And metal hasn't been the same without him.
@@edwed1830 Personally I don't care. He could have died yesterday or 50 years ago, it doesn't matter. It's still an injustice he's no longer with us shredding and _grinding that axe for a long time_ ...
Rip I have family ties with the band
@@Cthulhu_Awaken It sucks, i would have loved to meet him one day. He was just a kind dude who never deserved something like that. miss him
Guitarist Mike Scaccia of Ministry suddenly died of a heart attack while playing on stage with Rigor Mortis in December 2012.
Becoming a stiff while performing with Rigor Mortis. Such attention to detail is very rare, the dude was a true professional.
Underrated guitar player. RIP.
Actor Sid James died performing at the Sunderland Empire theatre aged 62 from a heart attack in 1976. He died doing what he loved and it’s said that his ghost has been spotted in the theatre that he’d died in and others have reported hearing his laugh in the dressing rooms. RIP Sid James
@@mattycosta9074 yes mate. Straight up lol
Hard not to recognise that laugh , well unless you have never seen the carry on films.
Apparently ... Sid was a bit more than a slime-ball. However, I never speak ill of the deid wans.
@@mattycosta9074 yes Rog. Pacific sunset.
@@RHR-221b It takes one to know one arsewipe.
14 years ago we lost Dime... gone but never forgotten. A true music legend and all around great guy. Rest in peace.
My best friend died playing a show. Art Skinner of Fatal Attraction. He was a hell of a lead guitarist. Miss ya buddy.
Sorry to hear that!!! Heart Attack? RIP my freind❤️🌹🥃
I know what it’s like to have a best friend die. My compassion to you.
Sorry for the loss i lost my childhood friend this year i'll see him with wrinkles and
Stories to tell.
My condolences
Brook Garretson so sorry
Thanks for not posting any actual footage of any of these tragedies, shows a lot of respect to the fans and families of those we have lost.
We were here for that… and a lot of these were elderly people. I’m glad there isn’t that many that died young.
I expected to see it. Oh, well.
R.I.P to all of these souls who have left this world. You died, and left your mark on this world and we will forever remember you ❤️
What kind of emo shit is this? Jk.
Wow....I've said almost the exact same thing!!!😳😳😳 on another comment!!
I was watching on TV when Tommy Cooper died. It was really surreal with everyone waiting for the punchline before it went to an adbreak. RIP legend.
poor tommy cooper
That's a freak accident stepping on a live wire, wonder if she would have been alright if she had shoes on. Sad.
Yes, unless they were metal, or wet, shoes.
Rubber soles, yeah I think she'd of been fine.
Carol Driehorst yeah at least it wasn’t super painful very fast too
Damn hippies always gotta walk barefoot
@@Latexlaila LOL
You forgot Les Harvey of Stone the Crows. He died onstage in the early 70s from his electric guitar and some ungrounded piece of equipment.
yeah, I remember that. He was literally welded to the mike stand. fucking horrible.
Martha and Bret Hart in an interview said that Owen did not want to do the stunt that killed him.
That whole Blue Blazer thing was so stupid. Not worth taking any risks for.
@@Preservestlandry the entire Hart family deserved better from that industry. McMahon sued Owen's wife, instead of just admitting the horrible mistake and paying compensation. Just kicking someone who was already down.
R.i.p. dimebag
I thought you were a shiney finger nail. Color metallic.

Thnx for remembering Dick Shawn....i lived with him for 8 years prior to his death....it was truly heartbreaking...he was far too young to die...but i know that is exactly the way he wanted to go. He was a wonderful person...miss him so much. RIP Richard. Love of my life.
that must be heart breaking for you i'm so sorry our hearts goes out to all of them pamela
Hi Pamela! How’re you doing?
@@scottanthony8240 hello...do i know you? ..did you know Richard and/or i in NYC in yhe 70's?
Owen's death was preventable and the WWF, yes WWF, is to blame.
Actually WWE. They had to change because the World Wildlife Fund already had copyright on WWF.
Such a gifted athlete such a terrible loss
Umm no WWF wrestling from the 70s through 90s before changing to WWE had nothing to do with the Wildlife Foundation. If any WWF would have sued for it they had billions from entertainment revenue and the little panda bear lived on donations
You can't Blame it on the Wwf We Have alot of great Stuff Happening on that Time So I Wouldn't Say it's There Fault
@@DL30Creations I don't like proving people wrong, but you are here. The World Wildlife Fund was started in 1961. At the time the WWF was the WWWF (World Wide Wrestling Federation). Vince Jr. changed it after buying the company from Vince Sr. The Wildlife Fund sued the company after violating a1994 agreement regarding international use of the WWF initials. The Fund finally won the lawsuit (2001) against McMahon after years of trying to get the initials back. After that the WWE had to get rid of the WWF name, logo and other creations with the initials. That's why a lot of the older videos has, or had, the WWF logo blurred.
Milli Vanilli also died live on stage, but not really… You know what I mean.
I don't know what you mean. 😂
Ashley Simpson as well
Total War Destroyer their career died after everyone find out that they were lip syncing everything
Cast iron songs & torch ballads. Songs of redemption. Blood on the gusset..... Where can i get these rare albums.
Dean Galloway. I think they got someone to die for them.
That last one really got me. A talented singer just starting her career, then just like that, she’s gone. Also R.I.P. Dime, one of he best guitar musicians to ever pick up a guitar.
May God bless Barbara Weldens in His heavenly kingdom through Jesus. Today the bottom surfaces of Barbara's bare feet are undoubtedly moving on the streets of gold in heaven.
I've heard that death while performing can be a "total"way to go. That is, you died with your boots on and doing what you loved.
And you've heard that from who exactly ? Something tells me that you've not thought this one through
I saw the death of Tommy Cooper on TV and we did think it was part of the act for a while and suddenly a commercial break was announced. Then we knew it was something serious.
His jokes were so shit but so good at the same time
I remember it well. Horrible. The hands coming out from under the curtain to drag him off ..😪
So did I, and an Aussie girl who knew nothing about him except what I told her..we thought it was part of the act...it clearly wasn't..☹️
Love Morphine... tragic ending
My parents were watching. Mum realised something was wrong, Dad didn't.🙁
As a WWE fan, the Owen Hart one hit close to home.
Yeah, I was watching @ a friends place. For a few seconds after it first happend we really weren't shure what was going on.
It was WWF, not called WWE at that time
Matthew Etchells oh, so sorry, I made such a mistake! Oh no! Stop living in the past.
[ BANNED ] if you’re mocking the sadness of a man’s death, you’re not a nice person.
I remember seeing that PPV ...for about an hour, we thought it was apart of the storyline... until I hopped on the Internet....
I still have that PPV on VHS.
YES, i said, "VHS"!😊😩
Story about Boston's drummer is actually pretty cool . Get diagnosed with cancer but instead of suffering go out a few months later with a heart attack on stage doing what you love
Just like Tom Searle from Architects only Tom died in the hospital. Played for years with cancer.
Kidney cancer is rarely deadly
Legendary Congolese singer Papa Wemba died while performing on stage in Côte d'Ivoire in 2016
Thank you for not showing live videos of the deaths that happened to get recorded as they happened, preserving the dignity and showing respect for these people.
Do you think dead cares about respect and dignity?
Disagree! It was much less entertaining without any available videos.
@@garyginther6742shut up you sick freak
@@kristapskalinkasttttirrrI'm sure they don't care about what you think 🤡
For us old-timers, there was Nelson Eddy of the infamous 1930's duet couple with Jeannette MacDonald. Nelson was performing live on stage when he suddenly collapsed of a massive heart attack at the age of 65.
RIP Nick Menza and Dimebag, two of the greatest metal musicians
Andrew Pappas Vinnie Paul...
Miss them all
Dime is overrated to hell
Riley Noland vocalist??
@@rhdrbobOooooh your unpopular opinion is cool.
Thank you for not showing footage of their actual collapse. May God be with them all so many die so young.
R.I.P to all of them😭🌷
Philip "Snakefinger" Lithman deserves a mention here as well. He had a major heart attack while playing a concert in Austria with his band The Vestal Virgins, at the age of 38. He was a longtime collaborator with The Residents, and also released some very unique and (sometimes) abrasive solo material. Definitely check him out if you haven't before. RIP Snakefinger
Dimebag and Menza... You are missed
R.I.P
The French organist and composer Louis Vierne died at the end of one of his own recitals at the cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris in 1937. He was about to play an encore when he pitched forward with his foot on the bottom E of the pedals.
Hey everyone, this may have already been said, but no matter who your favorite is, we've lost way too many great musicians over the past few years and it makes me very sad. Too sad to put into words for that matter! R.I.P. to all and my condolences to all their survivors.
my bandmate died on stage during a show. Its been years but I still think about it a lot. one of the worst days of my life. its a rough thing to go through man
Colonel Bruces death really is tragic but I think he died in a better way than most, he had played music his entire life and died surrounded by friends and fans while the music he loved played him out
I want to remember Mango, singer songwriter of great fame in Italy. He fell ill on stage the 7th of December 2014 while performing his most famous song, "Oro", and died a little while later. He was a great musician and singer.
My grandparents and I saw Tommy Cooper check out. We too, thought it was part of his act... just his shins and feet were on the audience side of the curtain, then it became obvious something had happened when he was pulled out of sight. Doing what he loved...
Kudos for mentioning Tommy Cooper was Welsh. He was born there, but grew up in London, England, so spoke with an English accent.
*Just like that!* With respect ... R 😎 🍻 🌠
My best friend, our frontman acoustic guitarist handed me an envelope as we went onstage saying read it later. During our third song of Christian Rock...in a big church...on a Sunday, he turned to me, winked as he mouthed "Via Con Dios" then dropped dead collapsing onto his brand new Taylor Guitar. What a beautiful wsy to go Johnnie Madrid. And the note in the emvelope I forgot about until later that night said..."Until we play again my brother".
How horrible thoe He knew he was passing😭
He is a legend
Oof
*PISH* Total *PISH*
on the first sunday of january 2017 i was playing bass at my church, the pastor went into his closing prayer and we usually back him with a little music and go into our ending song when he finished his prayer we were starting the last song and i blacked out and fell into a bunch of plants we had for décor ... i kinda understand what it must feel like to die on stage... and it actually felt peaceful until i came to moments later and realized everyone was freaking out people were yelling and so much commotion lots and lots of people praying out loud, looked kinda like a charismatic church ... my father and a nurse in the congregation rushed to stage first and a doctor who had been my physician as a child also rushed to stage... i could hear my mom getting very hysterical and panicking ... the ambulance came and took me to the hospital where unfortunately they werent able to tell me what had caused the issue... while i didnt die i did feel like dying when i recieved the medical bill for ER and the ambulance =o
I remember Tiny Tim saying he didn’t think he would die on stage.
What about Jackie Wilson? He had a fatal heart attack while singing the best-known line from his signature song: "My heart is crying, crying lonely teardrops."
You are right that Jackie Wilson did suffer a heart attack on stage, but my recollection is that as a result he went into a coma in which he remained for I think about 8 years before finally, mercifully passing away. Rest In Peace, Jackie Wilson.
you just made that up. Geez what an idiot.
Maximus Meridius - no they didn't its true dumb ass , he was in concert and had a stroke/heart attack and was in a comatose state until 1984 , years later then died !!
@@cozycool3505 I didn't respond to Maximus Meridus's comment because anyone who makes an accusation without bothering to find out if it's true isn't worth my time or attention.
I don't care what anybody says. Jackie Wilson could out-dance Michael Jackson any day.
Dimes to this day and all of history is still the most tragic, I met him in 98, bless his soul man, a part of me died with him!
Metal_333 Biggest influence on my guitar playing but unfortunately I was only a few months old when he got murdered
Same here man. Met Dimebag and Vinnie in 95. We lost 2 of the best musicians ever.
J.r was calling Owen hearts match. I remember him talking it through as they worked on owen. The poor guy was heart broke watching his friend take his last breaths.
Leslie Harvey was a Scottish guitarist and co-founder of Stone the Crows in late 1969, and was the brother of Alex Harvey, founding member of The Sensational Alex Harvey Band. Earlier in 1969, Harvey joined Scottish band Cartoone and accompanied Cartoone on their live tour of the United States supporting Led Zeppelin. They also supported the US band Spirit in 1969. John Lee Hooker, whose songs both Harvey and Cartoone used to cover on their tour of the UK, was their opening act.
It was while on stage with Stone the Crows at Swansea Top Rank in 1972, that he was electrocuted after touching a microphone that was not grounded. A roadie attempted to unplug the mic, but was unsuccessful. Harvey died from his injuries on May 3rd, 1972, aged 27.
I remember when that happened with Owen Heart so vividly. My brother and all his friends were HUGE wrestling fans so they would go to each others' houses whenever there were events, and we were all hanging out at a friend's house down the way. They were all just stuck.... some of the kids were crying. It was truly sad because most of them were dealing with the reality of death for the first time. Tragic.
Were they you able to see it Live?
@@gmanzano89gm If they were watching at home then they wouldn't have been able to see it because the WWF was showing a promo video at the time of the fall and when they went back to the live arena, they mostly just showed announcer: Jim Ross talking about what just happened.
@@daviddreyton8586, when the "medics" touted him out of the ring, on the stretcher, he was seen laughing his ass off!
@@gmanzano89gm No we didn't see the actual death. All you heard was the commotion afterwards and the somber commentators delivering the horrible news. But the impact was still greatly felt. It was really sad. Everyone was in shock & disbelief.
@Simulated Realism Right
I had the privilege of knowing Col. Bruce Hampton. Getting to see him and his band perform on a regular basis was a gem in my upbringing. He was one of the most interesting people I ever had the honor of getting to know. I'll never forget when I met him, he literally knew my birthday before he even knew my name. He was truly in touch with something beyond this world. We miss you so much Bruce. Rest in Zambi.
What does it take to create wonderful melodies and poetry that come together with John Prine? We will have eternity to answer that question. John, you passed to another place before so many could and did appreciate your contribution. I will miss you, but hope your family keeps comfort in having had the privilege of sharing your brilliance.
In January 2020, the great American singer-songwriter David Olney died on stage during a performance at a festival in Florida. The 71-year-old was mid-song when he apologised, closed his eyes and fell silent, two musicians who were performing alongside him said. Unfortunately this was just a sign of things to come for the year 2020. 🎤 😢
The Owen Hart tragedy still upsets me now. He didn't want to do that gimmick but WWE pressured him. :(
How do u know
The Sarge because he had told his wife and a few people backstage
I believe they offed owen McMahon shouldve been charged with negligence or something
@@roymartin500 that entire family is corrupt as hell. Vince’s wife is the pure definition of a bitter, awful “woman.” Imagine Betty DeVos but on steroids (pun unintended).
dimebag
Stone The Crows guitarist and co-founder Les Harvey was electrocuted onstage in front of a live audience at Swansea's Top Rank Suite in May 1972. Wires to the group's equipment were reportedly damaged by the audience and although the road crew attempted to repair the damage, they overlooked a loose ground wire. Harvey received a jolt of electricity as he reached for a microphone while his fingers touched the metal strings on his guitar. His body reportedly flew into the air and came to rest with his guitar in contact with the microphone stand. Bandmates who tried to rescue him reportedly got shocked themselves and it wasn't until someone kicked his guitar away that medical personnel were able to render aid. He was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital.
RIP, Les and Alex (plus Ted and Hugh). 😎 🍻 🌠
Sorry but everything has a funny side.
It wasn't the live audience that was the problem ...
It was the live wire 😣
Dimebag's murder broke my heart!!! His group Damageplan was just getting started... I love their 1 cd... Still play it when I want to rock out!!!!
I gave a 👍 to you, and to all your hard work. I know the empty sad feeling that everyone at each show felt.
My wife and I saw George Carlin’s last show he gave. Just knowing that was his last show still makes me feel empty. Enjoy your time, it truly goes fast.
There's also Sid James who died on stage performing in a play.
I remember watching Tommy Cooper on TV that fateful night. It was such a shock, realising that the fall wasn't part of the act and how the curtains closed and there was a sudden break in the programme. I called my mum who said she hadn't seen it. She usually watched but was a bit busy that evening, thank goodness. Tommy Cooper was one of her favourite comedians.
I was watching the show live on TV when Tommy Cooper died. The audience was laughing as he fell - thinking it was part of the act. Tommy certainly died what he loved doing most.
I watched Tommy Cooper die live on stage i was 11 at the time.
GothicaBeauty. That was so special .u lucky bitch
Yeah I was 13 almost 14 when this happened. I remember it clearly. So sad. My whole family were watching the show!
GothicaBeauty. So was I and my family, ill never forget the audience laughing and my grandad turned and said “why are you laughing you’ve just seen a man die” and none of us listened
Lexi 124 sad part of it is we all thought it was part of his act that day not realising until they dragged him off stage backwards what’d happened.
GothicaBeauty. He died doing what he did best I suppose RIP
Here's one: Leonard Warren, an opera singer, was on stage performing Verdi's "La Forza Del Destino" (the power of destiny) when on a high note, he collapsed and died.
I remember watching Tommy Cooper, it was live. I was a little girl and I will never forget it.
Stone The Crows guitarist Leslie Harvey died on stage in 1972 after being electrocuted by an amplifier.
The actor Sid James died in 1976 after suffering a heart attack on stage.
I was looking to see if someone mentioned Les Harvey. I’m glad you did.
I saw Tommy Cooper die on TV when I was a kid. Tragic.
Who's Tommy Cooper ?
a much loved british comedian. who made a joke out of his bad magic skills. he died on stage and the curtains closed with his feet still showing from underneath. consequently the crowd laughed believing it to be a typical tommy-esque gag
@@jackssmirkingrevenge9365 Really ? That's a sad way to go. Thank you for your response. 👍
Paul Potter ..i'll never forget it.
@@jackssmirkingrevenge9365 He was actually a very talented magician & a member of the Magic Circle. He had to be good to deliberately make the tricks go wrong. If you watched him a lot you'd see that every so often he'd throw in a trick that worked, seemingly unexpectedly.
r.i.p. to them all.😢.
Comedic actor Joe E. Ross (known for his signature phrase, "Ooo! Ooo!" and being in the TV Series "Car 54, Where Are You?" also died of a heart attack in front of a live audience.
He is buried at Forest Lawn - Hollywood Hills. Jay Leno delivered the eulogy. His epitaph reads, "This man had a ball."
Many years ago, baritone Leonard Warren was performing at the Metropolitan Opera and died during the performance.
The Rock-world hasn't been the same since Dime was taken away from us. God bless your soul Darrell Abbott.
Important safety tip: wear your shoes!
...and clean underwear
I just immediately thought of Menza and Dimebag… Rest In Peace guys 🤘🏼
RIP all celebrities mentioned here. Overdue condolences to all families :-(
I went to college for vocal performance, before that last lady died, and I went onstage barefoot and got in trouble because they didn’t want me to get shocked. Then, in 2017, I was at a show were the venue was supposedly haunted, and the singer of the opening band was taunting the ghosts. He said something like “If you’re here, just kill me right now!” And said that they were cowards. During the next song, he had a cup of water next to his mic stand tip over and he was singing in a small puddle. He kept jumping and it would make little splashes. I seriously had to close my eyes and keep looking away because I was so scared he was gonna get shocked. He didn’t notice the water ‘til the song was over, and was like ohhh shit. They got someone with a towel to clean it up and everything went fine. But I was on the rail all the way at the front, just absolutely terrified that this guy was gonna shock himself in front of a sold out crowd. 😰
A few seconds befor you die is when you understand what life was all about anyway.I almost jumped off a building but so happy i passed on it.My life of comming out of hell took some time but now I want to be around.

You never know , what tomorrow could bring..
Glad you're still with us! We all die, no need to rush into it. It'll come for you when it's time. In the meantime...there are dogs to pet and flowers to sniff.
Thanks for clearing that up. Always wondered. Ffs!
Glad you didn't. I haven't reached that point yet but still here and trying to regroup my thoughts.
I was there when Tommy Cooper collapsed, some of the audience laughed believing it to be a stunt, sadly I was very close and could plainly see he had passed. RIP TOMMY❤️❤️🌹
Oh my days, I remember that night. I was up in my room, I came back downstairs 10 minutes later. My Dad, Mum and my Gran all looked shell shocked.

@@margaretswan9597 As an audience we were swept up in this big bubble of fun, he was amazing I was crying with laughter, then he had his prop coat put on him and he just sank down to the floor people thought it was a trick so they laughed, then the atmosphere changed it turned completely silent. 😱😢😢😢
@@kayray4858 so sad i wish him peace as he rest on
Dimebag died with a guitar in his hand. I feel like he wouldn't have wanted it any other way.
Perhaps he would have rather liked to have died at age 89 with an acoustic in hand.
I’m 100% positive that he - like any normal person - would have preferred to never play guitar again if it meant he could avoid being murdered.
He might have maybe liked to have died at age 89 surrounded by his family... You never know...
String theory
Dime got a beautiful send off, with the KISS coffin and EVH's original guitar buried with him. His death was obviously a horrible tragedy, but he went to the other side with a lot of love and will be remembered forever.
Had no idea that Tiny Tim died in front of an audience
I did. I remember it like it was yesterday. I heared the news at school from my classmates just casually talking about it. I can't believe it's been 22 years since then!
I DIDNT EITHER..DONT FEEL ALONE..
@Richard Stiles hi
It was live I watched him die
Me neither. I wish I could have been in that audience.
What I learned from this video:
Don’t perform barefoot
Raycefan its crazy to die because of that
Yep, wellies all the way if I ever end up on stage.
Raycefan So if she had had on shoes, she would have lived?
On the lighter note..Its still "dying with your boots on"
@@honeybabou6119 i am sorry
Rip tiny Tim so little known but missed by all of us may he rest in peace maybe now I might play his songs what are so positive and happy we love u and never forget others
"Grandpa Jones" of Hee Haw,had a stroke while performing on the Grand Ole Opry Stage,and died backstage 1998.
I seen Tommy Cooper die live on TV, The most disturbing part was the gurgling sounds he was making which sounded more like he was snoring. RIP Tommy
TheWacoKid1963 I've seen the clip, scary how the audience is laughing while he played there dead.....
I saw that, too. Reminded me in what happened to Sid James (though, of course, that wasn't televised). The audience thought Sid was just fooling around, too.
@@derby1884 I remember my Dad, dragging me out of the audience. I couldn't understand why as we were all laughing when he fell. It is still the only time I have ever seen someone die.
It’s called a death rattle
I remember watching the show as i did every Sunday evening. My Dad said that’s a death rattle son, he’s dead. Then they cut to a commercial break.
Bruce was my mentor, Rest In Peace man.
Well that's a bit disappointing. I was expecting the actual footage.
this music...
I was at a meat loaf concert a few years ago and he fell on stage. Tripped I think but he has a really bad back and struggled really hard to get up until a stagehand finally came to help him up. Nobody seemed to notice it and it was scary as hell.
I was also at a meat loaf concert at when he collapsed. Me and my mum noticed straight away luckily he was ok and we saw him later using the same tickets.
I also remember Tommy Cooper
"We spend out time because it's the only coin that Life will accept. We never know how much we have, or how far it will take us. So, spend your time wisely."
In a school concert when I was about 8 2 of my classmates performed highland cathedral on the pipes with their 2 pipe teachers. At the end of the piece while the audience were clapping, the older pipe teacher fell backward stiff as a board. People laughed thinking it was a gag but soon the concert hall was vacated and the ambulance arrived. He died 3 days later and it saddens me that I don’t remember the guy’s name. But as if highland cathedral isn’t melancholic enough to make you cry on its own, it always reduces me to a teary wreck when I hear it and think about that poor chap.
I dated Mark Sandman for over a year and was shocked to hear he died onstage, and so young 😥
I miss CountryDick Montana The Drummer and singer from the Beat Farmers.
Died onstage in ‘95.
Man what a showman. "Loud and Plowed and Live" is a great live album.
This is the man I was thinking of when I started watching this. Incredible talent and sorely missed. That guy loved his audience and the audience loved him back. I had the great pleasure of watching him perform in small venues a couple of times, and I'll never forget the joy.he brought.
Some of the best shows I've seen!
Wait i know the last one! I live in Gourdon, and i was there when it happened. It was horrifying. I had a full on panic attack, it was really horrible. The poor woman put on an amazing show and we were all happy, and suddenly her eyes got big, a single shudder shook her body and she dropped down like a brick. Man, i had to get even more therapy after that.
I know he didn't die on stage, but I miss John Lennon. I was in high school when he was assassinated. RIP John😭
I miss John Lennon too. I was born in the year when he died but I love his music very much. He was my favorite Beatle.
@@lenkaparoubkova4151 When I found out he had been shot, I felt like I had been dropkicked in the teeth.
Baritone singer Nelson Eddy from concerts, radio, movies mostly with Jeanette MacDonald, also many records, later television appearances, and worldwide nightclub and other shows. Nelson died March 5th, 1967 at 65. He was performing at the Sans Souci Hotel in Miami Beach, Florida when he was stricken on stage with a cerebral hemorrhage. He first couldn't remember the words to the song and then said his face went numb and he asked if a doctor was present. His piano accompanist took him off stage. He actually died hours later but never spoke again.
really painful
Hi Sue! How’re you doing?
RIP all those performers who left this world too soon :(
I like how the music background is peaceful while talking about deaths of people...
Yeah playing Slayer instead so I could headband while they talking about death

@@okayokaynowkids7673 yes I agree.
my mum remembers watching tommy cooper on telly when he died, she was about 10, must have been unsettling to watch
The late great Colonel Bruce R.I.P. I miss him the most. Don't really care about anyone else. I got to see him with several different bands he put together like Aquarium Rescue Unit, Fiji Mariners, The Codetalkers and the Quark Alliance. Remember back in 2017, turning on my computer and seeing an announcement of his death. I was in shock. He was strange and bizarre, but great. Thanx for posting this.
