How many of you were around 23 years ago?


And when did you hear the news of his death?

It was around 12 mid on Halloween morning for me. Just getting ready for a Halloween park party the next morning. It was the talk of the day for us.

I think you mean 23 years ago. I was 13, in the 8th grade. I think I was at home when I heard. The days following his death, I bought a few magazines that had him on the cover with the story of his death inside. I cut out a bunch of his photos and the articles and put them in a binder as a kind of memorial. Then 6 months later was shocked again by the death of Kurt Cobain! 8th grade was kinda rough.

I was 18 and it was breaking news in the UK at approximately 11am.
My heart hurt like it never had before.

I was 15 and a sophomore in high school. I think I heard it on MTV news when I got home from school. I went up to my bedroom and just cried. I was so heartbroken. I still think about him every now and then, and wondered what he would have accomplished in his life by now.

I didn't exist.

I was 17. I heard about it on the news, but I really wasn't sure who he was at the time.

I was 17 and probably at some sports practice for school, or doing homework, or sleeping. I found out about his death from word of mouth within a year. I didn't follow actors that closely.

I was 18. It was a miserable Halloween. It was the first time I cried when hearing of a celebrity death.

I was 12 years old.
