All of them
Adam Johnson
Brandon Lee. Preventable. But that is not the worst I part! 🙄 The fact it was 20 years after the death of his father 👨 RIP Bruce Lee and Brandon Lee
R.I.P to all the performers that died
Roy Orbison had a fatal heart attack offstage after his final live show in December 1988.
Brandon Lee's death was so tragic 😢. If it wasn't for their negligence, he would still be alive, continuing his dad's legacy 💔 😢. It's so painful that father and son had to be buried next to each other.
& of all the actor's, for it to happen to, cos his father died young as well
He got Baldwined
@@AdamZimmerman-c6i nothing to do with each other.
Baldwin was working with an ignorant nepo baby. It was criminal negligence.
The Lees were targeted from higher powers still working today (IYKWIM)
It was paw-lee-tee- cal, m with the u with the rder...
@@JasonKnight-007 Bruce Lee had sweat glands removed to keep him looking sweaty in movies. He overheated and died.
Just imagine, there's probably an Alt universe where Brandon didn't die and went on to play Neo in the Matrix.
Owen Hart was awesome. Got to see him a few times back in the 90s and my brother and I got to meet him after the show once. He had a great sense of humor
I don't even watch Nascar today but was watching it when Dale wrecked, Nascar was so hot in my area back then, you could feel a sadness wash over my entire small midwest town.
That sport is already bad and ever has been.
My prayers, my condolences go out to the families and friends of these performers
I don't know if there are Molière's friends still alive 😂😂😂
It's sadly ironic that Steve Irwin died in a tragic accident involving a sting ray, which are usually harmless, as opposed to a venomous snake or crocodile. At least Irwin seemed to be calm when he realised that he was dying, and didn't even blame the sting ray, saying that it didn't mean to injure him so badly.
Sting rays are venomous and you are not meant to swim over them, they can see up but not down. He must’ve resembled a shark as he swam over it because it stung him over a hundred times in a couple seconds directly in the chest. It was both their faults and it fully intended on killing him. I went to his zoo and got to see the funeral footage on the big screen.
He always said that he would probably get killed by a marine animal. Land creatures were a part of his life since childhood but the ocean wasn’t his element. Sadly, he was making a special for children in honor of his daughter when the stingray felt threatened by the presence of him and the cameraman and flicked its tail. The barb struck him in the heart. Anywhere else he would have survived.
Unfortunately sting rays are far more dangerous than people think.
RIP my/our Childhood Hero...
@SPAnComCat Absolutely! I hope he is never forgotten!
"The show must go on" was what was probably going through Monsieur Moilere's mind as he performed for the last time before he dropped dead!
I remember the day Steve Erwin died. I had to tell my 10 yr old daughter at the time, who was a naturalist in the making and ADORED Steve Erwin that her hero had died. One of my hardest moments as a mom.
Wow... so your daughter would be around my age, I'm 28. Thats crazy I remember hearing about it my self. I could remember being like wow there's no way.. yep sure enough. Thats crazy!
How does that even happen is what I never understood
@@Twister-c5j9m things happen in nature that are unexplainable all the time man.
@@christopherwoodson7162 So true one day you're here living your life next day you're gone.
@@thegoogleplus1791 yep it's crazy in a blink of an eye. I always say life's like a board game, when it lands on you. It's your time to go.
May all of these performers rest in peace, They could've still had promising careers and futures. But sometimes life just deals a bad hand.
*performers
The narrator doing verbal gymnastics to pronounce Moliere like the French while getting Dizzy Gillespies's name wrong made me laugh too hard. 😂
Right? Obnoxious pronunciation of non-English names.
The Crow was such a perfect role for Brandon Lee. They shouldn't have remade it.
Agreed (but I personally didn't mind the remake though that's just me though)
5:51-5:56 - Dizzy Gillespie, not “Gillepsie”.
I had to play that back twice, I thought I misheard.... 😂
I think it's an AI voice. Moliere is pronounced as 'Molly-eye' instead of 'Molly-air." And Swansea is in Wales, not England.
@@sephjnr I'm starting to believe it too. The AI origin of the voice. Fuck me, it's plenty of voice actors
@@sephjnr Also "The Imaginary inVALid" instead of "INvalid." Lots of weird pronunciations in this video.
And you sing arias, not areas. Artificial ✔, Intelligence ❌. They should do a video compilation of THESE. Except how would they narrate it? 🤔
I find ALL the deaths tragic! But something that came to me was people that ACTUALLY saw these people die while performing! It must have been the WORST!
Interesting list.
I would add beloved Italian singer Mango, who died onstage in 2014, and Miriam Makeba who passed away while performing in Italy in 2008 😌
Are you saying Chris Kattan is dead?
Pretty sure he doesn't own a doghouse - but dead?
Rest In Peace to all the talented people
Dimebag Darrell's death was December 8th, 2004, not 2006
Just 18 days before Indian ocean tsunami
20 years this year he has been gone, but he will never, AND I DO MEAN NEVER. be forgotten. r.i.p dimebag \\m// getcha pull \\m//
@@sinbrown1501Cemetery Gates is still one of my favorite songs all these years later. 🤟
watchmojo be slippin’, and what guitarist and bassist from megadeth died because I don’t recall any, the only other death I remember is drummer Gar Samuelson
@@TheSlenderBassistnot Megadeth. Another.
Leslie Harvey as he was doing a performance in Wales and he accidentally touched a wire that was unearthed. Also, Emiko Kado and Plum Mariko.
I live in "Earnhardt Country". We're very protective of the Earnhardt family here, except Teresa. I went to high school with Teresa. Dale taught my driver ed class because Teresa got him into trouble. He used to do burn outs in the parking lot every Friday when he picked her up from school. The local police here (Boss Hogg G Tolbert) busted Dale for "destruction of property". He got fined to repave the parking lot, which was mostly gravel then anyway and he had to teach my Driver Ed class for one afternoon as community service. He taught us about racing, how much he loved it, and signed autographs. This was 1979.
I was one of the one's protesting Teresa wanting to turn Dale's farmland into a business zone. The City agreed with us.
I was going to ask you why you’re not fond about Teresa Earnhardt, but after reading your comment I understand now. Was she trying to turn his farmland into a museum or something? Your comment was very interesting, and I’m craving for more information if you don’t mind sharing
@@gregd4633The failed "Museum" (like his team owner didn't already have one) is probably the most tame reason to hate Theresa. That she-devil tried to sue 3 of her own step-children from her marriage with Dale.
I'm sorry but Dale doing burnouts is so like him 😂😂😂
🙏 Truly heartbreaking, they left us while doing what they loved. 💔
Lee Morgan was is and always will be the greatest technical trumpter of all time, I study him to become like such a pro
I've seen the video of Karl Wallenda's fall and he doesn't even flail. He just accepted his fate then and there. R.I.P.
9:46 FYI, WatchMojo: The University of California isn't just one university. You can't just say he was performing at the University of California. You need to specify which campus. Is it University of California Los Angeles. Is it University of California Berkeley? Is it any of the other campuses?
My uncle is a HUGE NASCAR fan. His favorite driver was Dale Earnhardt. My mom made a joke to prank him that he had died in a crash and my uncle went into a panic until he found out it wasn’t true. His crash was like 3 days later. You never know how powerful words can be
When these incredible and amazing performers of their craft went out, they really went out in style, grace, and the DIGNITY that they so rightfully deserve and EARNED! You gotta love them for that, man!
The girl couldve just taken the damn antivenin
Antivenom, but yes. That could’ve saved her life.
Yeah. That’s why I don’t find her death all that sympathetic, tbh. I am sad that she died, don’t get me wrong, but she could’ve easily prevented it if she didn’t handle snakes, especially a venomous one like the King Cobra, carelessly, like she did. I felt like she shouldn’t have handled snakes at all if she was just going to provoke them by throwing them around like rag dolls, but if I were her; I would use non-venomous snakes, handle them with care, and MAKE SURE THEY WERE DEFANGED. However, if I did end up getting bit by that King Cobra (I wouldn’t want to be near it, because I’m deathly afraid of snakes, but hypothetically speaking); I’d take a ten to twenty minute recess, so I could get the antivenom. That way, I could still perform without running the risk of traumatizing my audience. She did everything wrong in that situation, if you ask me.
I’ve never heard someone say “Dizzy Gillespie” that way. I’m from his hometown so I’m very conditioned to hearing it a certain way and that caught me off guard.
Yes. She butchered it! {Sounds like di·zee guh·leh·spee}
There are a ton of errors in this video. I'm guessing they just had AI generate the script without checking dates, spelling, and locations fully.
Thank you for honoring Misawa. I wasn't sure if he would have the name recognition of Owen, so thank you for including him. Sadly, there was also the passing of Perro Aguayo Jr., who passed away in a tag team match against WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio due to a heart attack brought about by a cervical stroke. It also could be said that Bruiser Brody died while performing, as he was killed in the showers after a show by a fellow performer / promoter.
Unfortunately, I don't think bruiser Brody died while performing because I highly doubt that people were watching him shower lol. If he died during the show with people watching him, then absolutely. But since it wasn't public, then he didn't die while preforming.
@@lisachiappetti6092 he wasn't actually taking a shower; his killer asked him to chat in the shower area before they went on stage. It escalated to an argument, then Brody was stabbed.
@@candice_ecidnac my comment still applies then.
@@lisachiappetti6092 I didn't say it didn't. I just provided additional info. He wasn't performing; he was off stage.
Brody was stabbed before the planned show started that night.
Another mention is back in I think 2015/'16 /' 17 when WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio ( back before his second run in WWE in 2018) when Rey accidentally killed another wrestler in Mexico
March 20, 2015, Perro Aguayo 😢
I was working for Loss Prevention at Bass Pro Shop and Dale Sr. was good friends with the CEO, so there was a Bass Pro #3 car that used to be in the store signed by Dale. I remember not long after he passed, Bass Pro did a remembrance to him and had a local VERY popular Radio Personality come in to help. The R.P. announced what was going on at Bass Pro and was asking to anyone interested to come and see the tribute and pick up some collectables. When the R.P. went to play the next song, it happened to be Pink Floyd's "The Wall". I was standing about 10 feet away and, as bad as it was, I couldn't stop myself from laughing. The R.P. looked over and asked if I was alright.
“Invalid.” Pronounced like a credit card that’s expired rather than a person suffering from a medical condition. Doesn’t anyone pay attention to what they’re saying?
And Dizzy GillePSie??
GILLESPIE!!!!
Also the title for Flight of the Phoenix had the wrong year
Yes... in-va-lid, not In-VAL-id.
What shocked me about Earnhardt is the fact he survived much more spectacular crashes than the relatively mundane crash that killed him.
Same here that's what confused and surprised me too
You just made me scream in horror while playing that song from Insidious. Very SORRY for saying that but like you said, that song creeps people out
3:08 Your narrator talks about the loss of Paul Mantz during filming on the Flight of the Phoenix in 1965 but the caption onscreen says 1956. I know, it’s only a small point, but we’re remembering lives tragically lost here - do your due diligence and show a little more respect, please
I remember when steve irwin died i was in the car with my mom pulling up to my house when the radio host said he tragically died. I sat in my moms car for 20 min of silence since he was mine andmy older brothers favorite wildlife handler from his show to the movie. Im so happy his son carried on his memory and would have made his dad proud 😊
As someone, who has loved animals my entire life, Steve Irwin was my hero. I´m 2 years older than Bindi (she´s from '98 and I´m from '96), so I was a schoolkid when he passed away in 2006. That being said, his death is the one that still hits me and I do still tend to spend Steve Irwin Day (Feb. 22nd) watching old clips of him. Kid me fell in love with all kinds of animals thanks to him and to this day, my favourites are among the more dangerous ones ^^' The kind you can´t keep as a pet, but are just the best! Beauts! As Steve would say ;)
I was in my teens when Steve Irwin passed away just lost me there what a true nice man, he was crazy but he was nice.
I was at a performance of "9" in NYC starring Raul Julia, early in the play's run - the female lead collapsed on stage. Julia came to the front of the stage and asked if there was a doctor in the house. He got an ovation. Even after they brought down the curtain and Julia repeated his request, he didn't get a volunteer. Luckily, the actress had only passed out. Oh, I almost forgot - an acquaintance of mine was backing up Tiny Tim that night he suffered that heart attack in Mass. Yipes.
So you know a guy who knows a guy 😂😅and 😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅
@@MikeEdwards-kj4dh LOL or, you might say ... I know a guy who knew a guy ... :(
Kudos for including Nick Menza but the phrasing of the script is wrong. The section that says a tour was cancelled Due to the guitarist and bassist sudden death. No guitarist from Megadeth died suddenly and the bassist that died was the bass player from OHM, Menza's last band.
I thought they meant that David (the guitarist of Megadeth) was fire and not died. They had me googling for that :O Marty, the original bassist of Megadeth, is still alive and living in Japan (he is pretty popular there too)
@lisagibson2975 no guitarist from Megadeth has died. Nick died and the drummer on their first 2 albums Garfield Samuelson died.
I knew about Victor Vic Morrow, Brandon Lee, Tommy Cooper and Steve Irwin.
Five more to add:
Barbara Weldens - French musician who had a tendency to perform barefoot. At a concert in France, she made contact with some defective equipment which caused cardiac arrest. She was only 35.
Christine Chubbuck - 29-year-old news reporter with severe mental health issues shot herself in the head live during a news broadcast.
Bassist Awal "Bani" Purbani, guitarist Herman Sikumbang and drummer Windu Andi Darmawan of the band Seventeen - On December 22, 2018, a volcanic eruption triggered a tsunami that devastated almost 200 miles of coastline. Part of the affected region included Pandeglang, Indonesia. While the band Seventeen were performing a set when the wall of water crashed ashore and laid waste to everything in its path, which included the Seventeen concert . The wave laid waste to almost 200 miles of coastline and killed 426 people, three of which included the bassist, guitarist and drummer of Seventeen, leaving the lead vocalist to be the only band member to survive the tragedy.
At least they went out in a blaze of glory.

Dimebag Darrell was shot on December 8, exactly 24 years after John Lennon.
24:20 "Swan C" I'm from Wales, found the pronunciation funny😂😂
I saw Dale Sr’s crash live. My friend had said a few moments before that there was going to be a bad wreck the next lap and then it happened. It was sad & creepy at the same time. RIP Intimidator
Gillepsie?
You missed Perro Aguayo Jr. who died from a drop kick by Rey Mysterio Jr.
In fact there are several mexican wrestlers who died while performing apart from Hijo del Perro Aguayo: among them are Oro, La Parka, Príncipe Aéreo (Flying Prince) and Rey Destroyer.
I’ve always wondered what would have happened if dimebag survived. Gone too soon, may him and his brother rest in peace ☹️❤️
RIP Sanford, can you imagine yelling I’m having a heart attack and everyone laughs at you
Dear God I just watched Fatman Scoops Hype last moments and even though you can't see it happen you hear the reactions of his crew truly a very sad day for all involve at least he went out doing what he loved.
Seeing that footage again, of the Intimidator’s death, still hurts down to my core.
RAISE HELL PRAISE DALE
Rip Tyrone power one of my favorite actors 👏🏻
A really creepy coincidence is that a few years ago, a theatre actor named Kyle Jean-Baptiste *also* died tragically and suddenly: he was chilling on a fire escape balcony and lost his balance when heading back inside. Not only was he incredibly talented, as well as a history maker (both the youngest actor to play Jean Valjean in Les Mis on Broadway as well as the first black Jean Valjean on Broadway), but he was *so young,* only 21. May his memory be a blessing, and may the memories of those featured in this video be blessings as well
There should be a universal Sign that tells the Staff and Audience "This is Not a Joke"!
So many of these Deaths could have been brevented if the People around did'nt believe it was part of the Show.
I remember when Vic Morrow & those precious children passed filming the Twilight Zone. & Dale Earnhardt was my favorite driver & I haven’t watched NASCAR since!
There's another from the days of old radio. Alexander Wolcot hosted a program called The Town Crier. During a live broadcast, he suffered a heart attack and died backstage as the show was signing off.
So he signed off too 😅
24:40 You left out the fact that director John Landis was heard shouting to the pilot of the helicopter to fly lower near the actors, and that the falling helicopter blades decapitated Vic Morrow and 7-year-old Myca Dinh Le, and its skid crushed 6-year-old Renee Shin-Yi Chen to death. Landis and several others involved in the film were tried for manslaughter and, thanks to their high priced lawyers, got off scot-free. Landis was the one who came up with this idea of the scene with Morrow and the children crossing a river while the helicopter was flying low over them.
Nobody should EVER pay money to see a John Landis movie. The guy is a criminal who got away with it and yet somehow still manages to find work in Hollyweird.
Meh I like Landis Movies. He is brilliant and nobody tells me what I can and cannot watch.
Just remember: what goes around comes around.
...aaaaaand this is why I despise j€* paying moviegoers...
100% agree, Landis got away with manslaughter at the very least and I boycott his movies.
@captaindunsel2048 but it's a shocking move how he got continue
24:21 Wales*
31:25 2004*
Also you should have included Ray Chapman and Chuck Hughes, the only baseball and American football players respectively to die as the direct result of an on field injury.
Another musician that died after he accidentally shot himself was Terry Kath of Chicago, which could have been mentioned after Johnny Ace.
Rip to all these celebrities as well as the names, dates, and locations that were butchered in this video
R.i.p to Performers that died may they all rest in peace 🙏
While not a "stage" per say and questionably "famous," I feel like Chuck Hughes deserves at least an honorable mention since he did die while performing. Chuck Hughes is currently (and hopefully forever) the only NFL player to die on field, during a game. While his short career wouldn't make him famous, being "the only" should make him considerably infamous. His name resurfaced, at least in Detroit, when news of Damar Hamlin circulated.
I was watching his documentary movie released in 2010, Ayrton Senna, 34, died (several hours later) during his racing & lead at the San Marino GP F1 in '94, it was black weekend, a day after Roland Ratzenberger died also. For me, Ayrton Senna is Greatest of all time (G.O.A.T) in F1 in this generation for the last more than 30 years...
The Misawa one was actually wild, they tried to give CPR in the ring while the fans cheered on it was so surreal.
Tommy Cooper was the one that affected me as I was the live at her majesty's show when it happened.
Did you know what happened at the time, or did you think it was part of his act?
The video showing it can be seen here on TH-cam. I have seen it once and I don’t want to look at it again. Perhaps because i know what happened but it does not look comical in any way. Sadly also he was not a good person but I still love his comedic performance.
I read that the Cover Up actor's body was given permission for organ donations, his heart, corneas, and kidneys
Not for nothing, but at 4:05, you put the emphasis on the wrong syllable...it's the imaginary INvalid, not inVALID...and at 5:54, its Dizzy GilLESpie, not GilLEPsie...sorry...still an interesting vid though...
Tiny tim also did living in the sunlight loving in the moonlight which they used in spongebob season 1
Harry Einstein aka Harry Parke known for his character Parkyakarkus, father of legendary comedians Albert Brooks and Bob Einstein, died on stage right after finishing his set at the Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz roast in 1958.
How did he die?
@ Was at podium telling his jokes. Finished his set. Went back to his seat. Sat down. Immediately had a major heart attack.
You should’ve mention Juan Gabriel. Also, El Perro Aguayo Jr, a wrestler who died in the ring.
Well, Dimebag has finally reached the #1 spot on one of the WatchMojo lists.. Unfortunately, it's not for his contributions to music as arguably the greatest guitarist in Metal history! But for being the most tragic death while performing on stage.. I look forward to seeing a list where he'll get the credit he truly deserves based purely on his talent and impact on the entire Metal and guitarist community.. R.I.P. Brother Dime, Getcha Pull!!!
I remember seeing Karl wallenda falling to his death on TV when I was a child. That is something you can never unsee. It was very traumatic. I had never heard of the guy until that day. For longest time the view of him falling and hitting played over and over in my head. Still to this day I have flash backs of it happening. I am still stunned that it was shown on TV back then.
I remember there was an oboist in the San Francisco symphony who keeled over during a concert
I remember watching TV when Karl Wallenda fell. I had a bad feeling about it from the start. It was so windy and the wire was swinging all over the place. I couldn't believe he made the attempt. When he fell, everyone in the room gasped and our mouths hung open in shock. The room was silent for over 5 minutes. It's so vivid in my memory.
For Me Owen Hart was 😢a major impact, one of the saddest days in wrestling 1999, and also being a fan of martial arts, Brandon Lee😒 I also remember when Dale and Steve died, and knowing what happen to Vic Morrow and them kids is horrible 😢💔 and I can't believe that Female Singer refuse to get the Anti-Venom after the snake bit Her😮 SMH 🤦😒 and died at 29, these tragic 💔 stories make me think of Heather O'Rourke even though She didn't die on set, She died while filming Poltergeist 3 at only 12 years old😢💔 Rest In Peace to all these Great Performers🙏💐
Darwin award is in place for not taking the anti-venom
Jon-Erik Hexum still breaks my heart
I would say for a comedian to die onstage with the sound of the audience laughing must be the best way to go. As for the narration, I am fascinated by the deep scratchy tone at the end of some of the sentences. Wow, how do you do that? I anticipated where those sound effects were coming and tried it and I can't get it right
Such a shame that people will most likely remember Tommy Cooper for the way he died.
He was so good at making people laugh. Not the best magician maybe, but a great performer.
Dimebag 🎸🔥

Vic Morrow was a tragic accident. He was so popular in the United States. He was at the pinnacle of his career. What an odd time and way to die. He was a male hero and icon. 😢
The circumstances of his death was due to sheer reckless negligence. How the hell that devil-may-care director was not held accountable for what happen that night I'll never comprehend.
Right before the final shot (one of the last) he thanked John Landis for giving him the role. Vic was thrilled to have a big screen role after doing mostly Television for a long while.
Apparently there is footage of the exact moment of dying, where the helicopter killed him and the children.
He was apparently picking up one of the children who fell from his grip into the river. As he stood up after grabbing the child, he was decapitated by the helicopter's blades.
@dhenderson1810 ouch

Lee Morgan, magnificent jazz trumpeter, RIP 💞
Steve and Dimebag and Eric, still make me sad to this day :(
There were so many more layers to Edward Lee Morgan's death that wasn't mentioned in this video. 1) Lee wasn't just shot by a "girlfriend." it was his so-called common law wife (Helen Morgan). She killed him out of rage and jealous. 2) He was playing at a jazz club called Slugs (in NYC)when this event occurred. 3) Given that it was the early 70s (and yes, there was a bad ❄️ storm that happened), "first responders" neglected to reach him due to racial biases (this is a known fact). I'm not looking for anyone to agree with me regarding anything im saying. However, if you're gonna talk about a public figures, demise... either tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth or dont tell it at all.
*I'm surprised Jane Wicker wasn't mentioned.*
Les Harvey died in Wales not England.
Correction Scotland 🙄
@@JasonKnight-007 Swansea is in Wales
Not on this list, but it remided me of him. NZ actor Kevin Smith (known for playing Ares the Greek god of war in Xena Warrior Princess), died in 2002 at age 38 after falling off a set piece in China where he had just wrapped a Martial Arts movie. At the time, he'd been preparing for his first Hollywood role in a Bruce Willis action movie.
