25 Famous Faces Who Died in Front of Audiences | You’d Never Recognize Today

[@christialrosejacobs441]

I read that Kathy Bates went through cancer treatments while filming Misery with James Caan. What a strong woman and so dedicated to her craft. 😊, I love all her stuff ❤.

[@hourglasstv01]

I am like you, I love her very much.

[@Frostflwr69]

Misery came out in 1990. If she was diagnosed with cancer in 2012 there's no way she could have been filming Misery. Still a truly strong and incredible woman and undeniable talent!

[@MirandaMiley-p9y]

She was also diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2003 but went into remission, then breast cancer in 2012 . She is a very strong woman​@@Frostflwr69

[@MirandaMiley-p9y]

Little Black Book is the movie she did while going through chemo ❤

[@ChristineBieber-s9n]

I had my heart attack, died twice but was brought back my medical staff, 8/21/2021. I had 4 stents installed in my heart. It happens so fast, i feel.bad for the ones that couldnt come back from it. Its amazing to be here still today🐾🐾

[@Michael-p2i]

Me two except I have 3 stents because they couldn't install the fourth because the artery was to clogged to clear it out.ive also had several strokes. I'm 62 years old. I still get dizzy spells,ect..I know that the big ones coming soon one day, that's why I haven't quit smoking cigarettes.im ready for the pearly gates,just waiting my turn...good luck to you my man,I hope you still have many more years ahead of you 🎉

[@micelle4143]

[@musicalperformances5790]

LOL KZbin..........lolol.

[@yankbombardo]

These guys actually died doing what they love most. May they rest in peace

[@deborahbaker4770]

The lady in the thumbnail isn’t dead she is a reporter who was having a stroke while doing the new’s she is still alive 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@avantikajpe2]

I remember watching Tommy Cooper as it happened and it still stays with me today. Make the most of things everyone....you never know when you could be on your last day.

[@syesha4n4n]

I still think about Steve Irwin from time to time. It was a real shock to hear the news as I was a very big fan.

[@nettewilde1305]

We all were 😢 he was one of the good ones

[@heatherboardman7004]

You always knew his death would be caused by an animal

[@tatirein3620]

So many people around the globe grieved his passing. He was one of a kind! 💔

[@lancebarrett2511]

When I was little I wanted to grow up to become Steve. I still remember to this day where I was, how old I was and what I was doing when I heard the news of his death and remember thinking I was being lied to.

[@sweaterweatherlady]

My husband's dad has a history of alcohol abuse and violence. While that man rotted in jail, Steve was the closest thing to a fatherly example for my husband. I bought him a Steve Funko Pop earlier this year. His dad is free now and runs a small business (unknown name or goods/services), last I heard. I can only hope he changed for the better.

[@ambargemala]

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.

[@ducksteinwilliam]

All such sad tragedies. I loved Steve Irwin and always watched his show. He was so charismatic and full of life. He will always be missed.

[@trankatie12]

Every waking moment is a gift!

[@rayeanneballato7336]

Amen❤

[@KeithPendleton-om8su]

I just woke up this morning.

[@dillianhall]

I’d like to add the legendary British comedy actor Sid James died on stage in a west end show in London. He was acting being asleep in an armchair on stage and never woke up.

[@laurawood3539]

Omg I love Sid James, carry on film's were and still are a huge part of my life. I used to and still do get lost in those films escaping harsh reality.

[@heatherboardman7004]

No he didn't. He died on stage at a theatre in Sunderland

[@Dallas-Nyberg]

When an illness hits you, it is definitely a game-changer. Ten years ago, I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. Accepting the situation and living with its consequences has been quite a challenge. If I have learned anything, the one thing I now realize is that you should never waste a day. It could be your last.

[@bridgetlouisa]

Brandon Lees death was so sad. The movie The Crow is all the more poignant, and is one of my all time favorite movies. I am so glad they were able to finish the movie. It is a fitting tribute to Brandons memory.

[@SamanthaJohnson-y7k]

I watched Stevie Irwin with my mom faithfully!!! He was my favorite person!!! My first crush lol 😂

[@nilahmartin10]

My best friend died playing a show. Art Skinner of Fatal Attraction. He was a hell of a lead guitarist. Miss ya buddy.

[@zeldachelsia]

Vic Morrow died in the helicopter scene of the Twilight Zone Movie. It was, of course, edited out. May he rest in peace.

[@banasiewiczindy89]

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.

[@shaunnawood18]

When you have a performer like a rock star or rap artist (Costa Titch) collapsing like that, and then no confirmation of the cause, one couldnt be blamed for suspecting drugs were involved. My heart goes out to the family and fans.

[@musicalperformances5790]

Yes, legal drugs in the form of the black magic potion, you all lined up & accepted from Satan himself

[@JasmineSwara-e2j]

Oh, maaaaan. I didnt know about Sib Hashian. That affects me deeply, as Boston is my favorite band. All good wishes and condolences to his fans and family.

[@BeckhamDuckstein]

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 didnt even know Nick personally. He was and still is my drumming hero. Such a talented soul gone too soon.

[@Radleydam-i6m]

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 ❤️

[@Ashleyphan-d3d]

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 🤘

[@Bonniehiebler1210]

Hell yeah!!!

[@kennethwrenley]

I didnt know Brandon Lee was in The fast and the furious.... WOW,GREAT EDITING!!!

[@tolyanna]

19:38 - Bruce Lee did not die while working on a film. He died in his sleep at his mistresss house.

[@iowashaunna]

Tommy cooper watching him was probably the way he wanted to pass …he died hearing his fans laugh …RIP TOMMY ❤

[@jyotsnamo]

There was another dude Jon Erik Hexum who played an action type role back in a show called Cover Up (80s?) who was messing around with a prop gun n pointed it at his own head. Was a tragedy, really liked the show when I was a kid and he was a very handsome man with a big career ahead of him.

[@dydanna]

That was crazy, I remember that, he was so handsome

[@priyankachristopher]

I especially miss Steve Irwin.

[@eteniaxboz]

Some of these stars, I don’t know them. Never heard of them before!😢

[@tazannazoanne88]

Oh man that last one was such a shock... if i saw my kids walking around cables barefoot id have them grounded.

[@gloriamadaffari5404]

Steve Irwin was such a gem of a man.

[@hourglasstv01]

Yes that's right

[@dydanna]

I loved Jack Nicholson in ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCOO’s NEST 😂

[@zyairlk6r89]

Bruce Lee was in a private residence of an actress friend when he collapsed and died. He was not performing. *edit: To be more exact he had a headache and collapsed. He was given "something" for the pain by his host. He went to bed and died in his sleep.

[@BùiEthabui93li]

The first photo used of Brandon Lee is Pamela Andersons son, who is very much alive, nice work!

[@lomasivo]

A lot of these people Ive never heard of but I do remember when Tommy Cooper Died on television Nobody realised that anything was wrong at first it took a while before people noticed it then went to commercials and we found out later on that he had died

[@colterkaytlyn]

Hampton didnt have to die. The other people on stage had been paying attention, he might have received timely medical attention.

[@whitejamaica]

most of these were sad and tragic, but that singer who insisted on using cobras as props qualifies for "Dumb Ways To Die"

[@ReginaAkshita-o9f]

It wasnt exactly an on-stage death, but in 1976, jazz pianist Vince Guaraldi (the first 17 Charlie Brown/Peanuts TV specials; "Cast Your Fate To The Wind") had played the first of two sets at a California club. Between sets, walked next door to the motel where he was staying and collapsed while in his room. He was 47.

[@lindaw.2565]

Not all these stars died. I'm glad to see that.

[@hourglasstv01]

yes thank you very much

[@aerilynedwards91]

Onie Wheeler is the only singer who died on stage of the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville. May 26, 1984.He was 63.

[@christabelpham93]

Tillikum, has now killed 3 people by drowning them and physical trauma, including one person who didnt work there, entered the park after hours to swim with Tillikum. The person was found dead the next day. Animals in captivity, like Tillikum, develope depression and sometimes will lash out against people because they are upset. Whales and Dolphins are extremely intelligent, even to the point of rivaling mans intelligence, but in different ways. They can get upset about little things. Unfortunately, what they consider " gentle", is usually much more traumatizing than we can handle.

[@theophiluston24]

Cant forget my man Dimebag Darrell, who died in 2004 by a shooting onstage while he was performing

[@busysteven97]

When you drop dead immediately, its a full cardiac arrest, not a heart attack.

[@ducksteinjasper]

I didnt know Paul Walker was Bruce Lees son, now i know, thank you AI

[@louisbeerreviews8964]

No he isn’t

[@zayladoan]

I appreciate this NOT being click bait.

[@lewymartain8267]

Katherine zetta jones was the most beautiful actress on television in the 1980s and 1990s.

[@patrickkaytlyn88]

Irene Ryan (Granny on "The Beverly Hillbillies") also died on stage in a play back in the 70s. A friend of mine was there when it happened. She died doing what she loved.

[@kelislillie]

You forgot Vic Morrow and the two children he was carrying in the film "Twilight Zone".

[@wendellthomas464]

For Kostatich, immediate medical attention would have been when he collapsed the first time.

[@johntimlin6664]

Steve Irwin will be greatly missed☹️

[@MayaGuillebeaux]

Johnny "Guitar" Watson died from a heart attack on stage in Tokyo.

[@luusepc]

The Sad part about Dick Shawn was just before he collapsed, he said to the audience, "Wouldnt be funny if I had a heart attack?". He knew what was happening and made a joke about it, but that kept the audience from reacting for help, because they thought it was a joke.

[@Linda-f2m8m]

Very interesting

[@hourglasstv01]

Thank you.

[@Linda-f2m8m]

I agree 👍 💯 right

[@seanbarker4610]

Tommy Coopers death was so sad, but typical that he passed on stage.

[@hourglasstv01]

so sad

[@beth-rg8bm]

2:14 No it wasn't unexpected I think almost everybody expected him to go through negligence.

[@Michael-p2i]

For these deaths happening in front of live audiences there's no videos here at all? Or very little video. Why's that? I understand the respect factor but still.

[@hourglasstv01]

As you said, the few videos are out of respect for the deceased.

[@lindaw.2565]

One, for Neil Diamond 💎

[@hourglasstv01]

Thank you.

[@judilynn9569]

I remember having the Rodale book of health tips in our home when I was growing up. I didn’t realize it was him who dies on Dick Cavett’s show. And at 18:22 that’s not Rodale. That’s Groucho Marx. Who puts these videos together without checking?

[@hohav0]

Bruce Lee didnt die on any stage, he took a nap and never woke up! Also, Paul Walker is NOT Brandon Lee.

[@theodoreho91]

Take it easy Dime, We STILL miss you.

I was actually watching tommy cooper when he died the audience thought he was joking and was laughing. I was saying to my partner something is not right. They quickly went to an advert wasn’t nice to see.

[@TháiMark-j1thaimark]

All so very sad . I miss Dime and Tommy

You could leave out most of the tragicallys and sadlys. We all know it’s sad when someone dies.

[@GabrielElise-y9q]

If I’m not mistaken I believe the coward who killed dimebag did it because he said dimebag “stole” his music or something like that

[@AnnabelladeBonnay]

This is supposed to be. about people whom Died in front of their audiences. What a Sham.!!!!!

[@gracieoliver1876]

there sure is alot of people dying from heart attacks

[@ГеоргийКарпов]

Sorry but i laughed like insane when u start named KK "famous songs"

Mostly they had heart attacks while high energy performances and undetected vascular issues probably (atherosclerosis disease/clogged arteries).
