For me it was Cheater Bennington. Linkin Park music helped me through some hard times and I know some of the more impactful lyrics came from him and what he experienced.

Knowing he couldn’t take it anymore definitely hit Me hard particularly as someone I looked up to from young age …

Who was yours ?

Douglas Adams.

That was the first time it really hit home to me how much it hurts to lose real talent from this world.

Yes! His early death was tragic.

We could have had several more Dirk Gently mysteries, and the Guide Trilogy could have been even more inaccurately counted, by now. RIP Adams.
