I am talking about famous persons, celebrities who died tragically while young and at the height of their careers. I will mention four tragedies which had me really saddened.
(1) Princess Diana who died tragically in August 1997. I was really shocked and saddened at her death.The picture shows Princess Diana dancing with John Travolta.
(2) John F. Kennedy Jr. He died along with his wife in a plane crash in 1999. He was 38.
(3) What a tragedy ! three famous singers at the same time. I wasn't around then, but I love the song "la Bamba"- a Ritchie Valens hit. He was only 17 when he died in a plane crash along with J.P. Richardson (the Big Bopper) and Buddy Holly. That happened one cold, stormy night in 1959.
(4) Whitney Houston. She died tragically in 2012.
Is there a celebrity whose tragic death at a young age left you really saddened?

It was a long time ago, as a kid my family listened to The Grand Old Opry. My shock was that of Hank Williams.

@arthurchappell It is.
There were a multitude of other kung fu actors after him but in my opinion the only one who came a bit close but still not close enough - was Jet Li.

@Kandae11 The former was not sooo surprising I was told but shocking since she is soo young and I was hoping she would kick her habits.

I wasn't a big fan, but I found Amy Winehouse's passing to be sobering
